(15,224 posts)I've been screaming about it for at least the last 15 years. And I'm not alone. Other people have understood the relevance, too.
To me, the choice to have an abortion is as personal as it can get. There should be no limitations on it whatsoever. Does that shock some people here on DU that someone like me might believe that way? Probably. Well, tough shit. Because if ANY limitations are placed on it, the very CHOICE goes out the window. No one should ever have to have a discussion about abortion other than a woman who is speaking with her health care provider and anyone else she might choose to discuss that issue with. It should be THAT private. That personal. It has NO place on some government agenda. It's a healthcare issue - not a religious issue. It is not a political issue.
Yes, I am as stunned as you that there are idiot morons out there who vote for these fanactical zealots whose only goal in life is to take something away from someone else. What those idiot moron voters don't understand is that making abortion illegal or difficult or whatever it is that they are trying to do at this moment - will not be the end of it. They won't stop until the women of America have lost that which they have gained over the last 75 years!
