Reproductive freedom is indictive of the party's attitude toward women in general and goes way beyond the issues specifically related to abortion.

Do or don't we trust women to make decisions about their families, futures, and health. Or do we feel that the state must intervene to help this segment of the population with the "right" choice.

I recently tested positive (falsely, thank God) for a fatal birth defect. It's not only irresponsible teens who are affected. I'm in my mid thirties, married and am pregnant on purpose after several years of trying. What my decision would have been in, frankly none of anyone elses business (except my husband's of course), but I can tell you this: We did not need Bush's, Falwell's, or Keyes' input in our decision.
