Since when did abortion become between "choice" and "life"? [View all]

Because the real reason Roe V. Wade went the way it did is the justices read the constitution as saying our "Right to privacy" includes our visits with the doctor! And I don't know about other states but here in FL every time you go to a new doctor they have to give you a paper to that effect and you have to sign that you got it, (or refused it) Privacy is very serious stuff.

Now a woman's right to privacy has morphed into something that sounds like a woman just chooses whether or not to have an abortion like she chooses anything in her life. And this couldn't be father from the truth.

It is not an easy choice and I think the the word should not be used. Abortion is a medical decision between a woman and her doctor and I think we need to go back to the privacy we are guaranteed of that basic right that our constitution gives us.
