40. Thanks. For years we were told that abortion is a wedge issue.

I have long held the opinion that it is not.

We (women) were told this was little more than a fundraising campaign. I have always felt that they were walking and chewing gum at the same time on this issue.

They raised money and now they are trying to go for the kill.

I'm not willing to make concessions about this issue.

Abortion is a right that every woman should have access to, I am sick and tired of anyone trying to make morality a legislative part of a medical choice.
