2. Memo to Peach @FR: If the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade,
that sets a precedent that the state or other "parties of interest" have the right to overrule a woman's decision about her reproductive health or termination of pregnancy. Think about it, Peaches. The government could tell you that you could not terminate a pregnancy because you wanted for a variety of circumstances. It could also mandate that YOU COULD NOT CONCEIVE. Do you really want the government to have that much control over your body and reproductive freedom?

It's not pro-life or pro-abortion. Never was. It's pro-choice and anti-choice. The question is whether a woman has the ultimate decision power about her reproductive freedom or is she subject to another entity--person or state--that can overrule her decision? Are women 100% legal human beings, or like the blacks of ol' Jim Crow, just 3/5 of a human being?
