But maybe if she thought about it this way. Hillary is pro choice not pro abortion and that is NOT the same thing. But here is what I truly believe is the salient issue that is so often missed. If a woman cedes the right to control her body to the state, when political mores change, then the state could mandate as well as prohibit abortion. And there were would be no recourse because the basic right of a human being to control their own body had been surrendered.
And if she cannot buy the idea that there can be a 180 degree change in public moral views, tell her to ask someone who was anti gay marriage if things can change in a very short period of time.
The MOST basic right of any human being is the right to control their own person. There is nothing more basic or more important than that.
