2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: In its first endorsement ever, Planned Parenthood endorses Hillary Clinton. Do you stand with them? [View all]beam me up scottie
(57,349 posts)22. Of course it does.
As a man you'll never have to make that decision so it seems reasonable to leave it up to politicians instead of women and their doctors.
And "partial birth abortion" is a right wing term.
Disgusting.
