only dare be so pro choice.

Some young woman has nothing going for her, wants nothing to do with the guy that got her pregnant, and really doesn't want to have a baby, fix it! Get rid of it! That's right, "it"! As in a bundle of cells that is not a person and does not even know it exists.

And make abortion easily available and free. Yes, paid for by us taxpayers. Many times a girl having an abortion saves us a whole shit ton of money. Any public assistance, social programs, medical care over the lifetime of the kid. It's economics for men alright, in fact many right-wingers should probably believe it would save us much more than it really would. The one's that don't lay awake at night thinking about abortion anyway.
