Blog for Choice Day!
I didn't know there was such a thing, but there is, so I'll get this done before midnight.
You often hear women say, "Well, I'd never have an abortion, but I support the right of any other woman to do it." That's not me. I can think of any number of reasons why I might have an abortion, and so I am pro-choice.
I want to see RU-486 brought into this country. It seems to me that pro-liars don't want it because they won't be able to wave their bloody fetus photos around since it induces abortions at a stage where the embryo is microscopic. You have to realize, I support legal abortion even MORE than I support it because I can't stand the pro-life crowd.
I've said that I do yearn for a day when abortion is no more. Seriously, I do. That would mean all contraception worked, that there was no rape and that all women were prosperous enough so that an unplanned pregnancy wouldn't be a big deal. That sounds good, doesn't it? When I pray for an end to abortion, that's what I mean. I don't think pro-liars mean the same thing.

After all, the abortion issue is very much a control issue, not only over women, who've gained in power in the past 30-40 years, but also minorities: one doesn't have to go far to hear a pundit like Bill Bennett mouth off saying that crime would go down if more blacks had abortions or some Fox News tool say that white women need to breed more white babies.

See this Sunday's NY Times magazine for a profile on one of these activists. It's pretty interesting.

As opposed to the potential harm caused by having to carry a pregnancy you didn't want to term and then having to either go through the adoption process or raise the child.
Right.
I call BS on this one.
