(20,818 posts)who died from botched, illegal abortions, before it was legal in this country, many of them suffering horribly and/or bleeding to death for hours? What about THOSE lives? Do those BORN lives mean NOTHING to you? How can you call yourself a "feminist" if they don't? And do you honestly, really, truly believe that abortion will become a "moot" point if it's illegal again? Really? Seriously? Do you NOT know that there were nearly as many abortions before 1973 as there are now, the difference is women died or suffered horribly to get them? You DO understand that just because something's made illegal doesn't mean it won't happen? Or do all those women who will die or suffer mean NOTHING to you because they will be "getting what they deserve", because they "asked for it"? And you're going to let men totally off the hook here?
