23. Now you've really piqued my curiosity
I was sure it would have something to do with the pictures. I'll be looking forward to your clarifying post.

What gets me is that many seem to think that the choice made is an easy one for a woman. From the women I know who have faced the choice, it is not. And each case is unique--no two set of circumstances is alike. Those who are anti-abortion live in a fantasy world if they think making the procedure illegal will stop abortions. It won't--it will just make them more dangerous. My husband remembers girls in his high school class who died from botched illegal abortions back in the '60s.

And I also have this notion that if men could get pregnant, abortion and birth control would both be considered inalienable rights.
