still mad at 85...

But abortion is different...not a medical procedure, no, it's a dirty evil thing that should be stopped by the law.

I don't get it...all this could possibly do is increase teen pregnancy and ruin lives.

Why do so many people think that their morals should apply to everybody and be enforced by law? There are things that I personally am not completely comfortable with...truthfully, abortion is one of them...but the law can not be based on individuals feelings. In order to restrict a person's freedom in areas that do not affect others, it seems to me that there had better be a factual/scientific reason. In this case, science tells us that most abortions "kill" something that's about as advanced as the fly that would be mindlessly swatted.

And don't get me started on birth control...pharmacists are allowed to not dispense birth control because they don't like it?!

Until reproductive health is treated with the same acceptance as the rest of health care, America will be home to double standards that prevent us from calling ourselves free.
