Trying to restrict a woman's right to a safe and legal abortion is ONLY about the Right's belief that she should be punished for having sex.

...looks like the guys who made the movie Freakanomics are going to have a real, live test of their theory in the United States. They found a significant decrease in crime within 20 years of the Roe vs. Wade decision. They believe that if Roe vs Wade did not pass...women would continue to have unwanted pregnancies and crime would continue. In approx. 20 years from this date (or date when these idiotic laws pass), if Freakanomics was correct...we will see (1) higher crime, (2) higher dependency on the government and (3) a very happy privatized prison system.

Thank you Republicans for putting America first. You f-ing idiots.
