… speaking up so publicly in such numbers should tell us that what the fanatics call “abortion” with such venom is understood by most women and men to be a medical procedure, and a necessary part of women’s health care.

No more and no less than treatment for breast cancer — if it has to be done it has to be done, to save the woman’s life.

This understanding by the public gives me hope, and it is a product of Roe v Wade having been on the books for 50 years. Out of the back alleys, it became the medical procedure it always was supposed to be. With new technology came the ability to spot deadly abnormalities and to spare women’s lives, and as this couple so clearly understands, to spare their potential child a lifetime of hideous suffering.

Let me repeat: The fact that women are speaking up so publicly and in such numbers should tell us that what the fanatics call “abortion” with such venom is understood by most women and men to be a medical procedure, and a necessary part of women’s health care.
