Rich women will still get their abortions. It's poor women who are hurt the most. It's not just the access to abortion, either. For many poor women, clinics such as those run by Planned Parenthood are the only places these women can go for pre-natal care or for contraception.

I have no patience or sympathy for those who oppose reproduction rights for women. NONE.
