Individuals are entitled to their personal opinions, their personal sensitivities, their personal religion. I am a very tolerant and accepting person that way. I dont despise them. I have religious feelings of my own, but I dont try to impose it on others.
What they are not entitled to do is make laws that absodamnlutely guarantee that women will be impoverished by having kids they cant afford, be sterilized from infections, or die.
The lawmakers those bastards I now hate with the heat of a thousand suns. None of them gives a flying fck about either women or children. What they do shows that, no matter what they say.
I am turning 74 this month. I am pro-abortion. Its been a long journey to get here, but yes, I am most certainly pro-abortion.
If it makes you feel any better, you can consider it as part of the continuity of womens medical care just as removal of a prostate gland is part of the continuity of mens medical care. Not every man will ever need his prostate removed, but he better pray that a surgeon who knows what theyre doing is around if he ever does. Not every woman will ever need an abortion, but she better pray it is legal where she lives if she ever does, and that there is someone who knows what they are doing to help her.
