I can't help but take it a step forward -- make sure that egg becomes an embryo, a fetus and becomes a newborn....and then try to take away all services from single mothers and their babies, cut back on help with childcare, food on the table, classroom lunches, etc. It's interesting that for pro-lifers, the only part of life they care about is prior to the child's first breath. After that, babies born to a woman who is in need become pesky welfare children and are therefore a burden and are dispensable. Sorta like pet owners who only want baby animals, and once those reach adulthood, the attraction is gone -- like Kristi Nome. Or maybe I'm reaching?
Said it better than I could. These people are sickening. I’m sure the very wealthy among them can afford productive care for their wives/girlfriends/daughters. Too sad for all the other women.
And to think that decades ago some people were afraid that if John F. Kennedy were elected, he would be in thrall to the Pope . Well, hello, right-wing supreme court justices. Vergogne!
In the '50s, I saw my older school friend almost bleed to death from botched knitting-needle self-abortion. So much blood. Can't go back. There was so much blood. In the deep night, I buried the blood-soaked towels in the ravine. We could not tell anyone.
When I left the convent in 1968, I used to argue with the feminists in shopping malls who were promoting legal abortions. It's murder. Then I learned that when abortion is illegal, rich women and the mistresses of rich men fly to where it's legal, while poor and middle income women die. Murdered by bad law. That's when I learned the law has to be broad enough to allow for the range of religious and moral beliefs about abortion. And that'why, even though I would never have had an abortion myself, I am completely pro-choice.
Thailand's a gorgeous place, with a first-rate medical establishment. Go there, relax in beauty afterward. Why hasn't this been exploited? (Yes, I know about price, but enough well-off's--possibly even Republican matrons--may light up about this ..)

Nope, you nailed it.

So true!!!
Based on what I read on Trump, it is a shame, he was not aborted.

Pregnancy begins with a penis. Regulate that.
