Reply #155: We should refocus the discussion! [View All]

What is really at question is whether we are going to criminalize abortion or whether it will remain legal.

Those of us who are "pro-choice," that is, those of us who may not choose an abortion for ourselves, but would not deny it to another, we need to reframe the question.

If abortion becomes illegal, who will go to jail? Who will be prosecuted? Will doctors be locked up? And what about women?

These are the essential questions that must be asked before we vote for any candidate who wants to overturn Roe v. Wade.

If someone wants to wear a T-shirt proclaiming that she had an abortion, that's fine with me, but it doesn't really address the important questions. Maybe the T-shirt should say "I had an abortion and my doctor didn't serve time for it."
