Reply #34: No, I have thought a lot about it. About a woman's status in society. [View All]

Not just about choosing to have an abortion, but about the choice to take birth control pills. It is about the choice to decide if you want to get pregnant without congress or the courts telling you can't take pills to prevent it.

It is coming to that, you know. The Democrats for Life group who met with Governor Dean at the DNC were accompanied by Father Pavone of Priests for Life. He is the one who said Terri Schaivo could see and hear. He wants all abortions stopped and no contraceptives.

The extremists in those groups do not believe in contraceptives such as birth control pills. They base it on their religous views that life begins at conception.

SO, this is about a woman's place in our country. It is about whether she will have to be subservient to the men and religious groups.

So, no, I really don't think I can do that at this stage.
