Okay, I don't know exactly how I feel about this, but I do know that women will, as women always have, be forced to look out for their own (and society's) best interest in the end

Fascinating. And I have to admit to being worried too. I take it you've been following the case in South Dakota? Frightening.

[gilathief]

Yes indeed and fetal rights are being extended everyday...

I still find it repugnant that more health plans cover drugs like Cialis and other 'male enhancer' than cover birth control. I find it hard to believe that women who have abortions did it on their own; it takes two to tango, after all. Brazil has more abortions every year than the US, and they are illegal in Brazil

[gilathief]

Agreed.

I definitely have mixed feelings about this. Both the article and the subject on which it refers

[gilathief]

I agree, very risky and sad to think that some people might have to go to such an extreme ever. But that is why I support the legality of abortion. I don't support abortion and I don't know anyone who does... merely the right not to have to do it this way...

[indigochild76]

It is both sad and scary

*hugs back*

Understood completely and I agree intellectually the debate is simpler than when emotions are factored in.

I agree, I doubt I will ever be affected by this issue, but in the interest of women everywhere who don't have the luxuries I do, it is important to note what overturning Roe VS Wade could mean adn what even smaller laws infirnging on a woman's right to choose might mean.

Not exactly sure where I am in this whole debate either...except alarmed at the goings-on in SD. Thanks for posting!

I think ultimately it doesn't matter where you come down on the issue. This link is noteworthy for the simple fact that the right is so precious to most of us (women I mean) that taking any means necessary is not out of the question for many people...
