Republican Party advances the theory that some deaths are acceptable as long as there is a financial/economic benefit behind them, because, "there are more important things than living." So if a woman can prove that her own personal economic well-being will be greatly improved as the result of not becoming a parent.........she can have an abortion and it would be not only perfectly legal, but JUSTIFIED? Lay that one on your "Pro Birth" friends and watch them twist themselves into knots.
