That kind of mindset is the very problem...that so many see it as a 'woman's choice' and not the ending of an innocent life.
While 'under such circumstances' as the result of a rape, many women might want to abort...Roe v. Wade was not limited to THOSE circumstances. So now, any woman who chooses to can go and get an abortion. For whatever reason. Don't want to interrupt their 'career'; not ready to raise kids; too many kids already, it's not a boy; it's not a girl; just broke up with the bum who's the father, don't want any reminders of the jerk...the reasons are endless. And the reasons don't matter. If you want an abortion and you have the fee, you can get one.
While a decision in ONE state as I said is a far cry from Roe v. Wade being overturned, and though a fight is promised from Planned Parenthood it is hopefully one of the first steps in what will probably be a years long process.
Just like smoking laws, just like gay marriage laws, just like so many that have come before...this will become a State-by-State issue and will eventually make its way to the Supreme Court (as it did in the late 1980's when the choice went again back to the individual states).
But...glad you 'clarified' your position, SB
