Democrats must support a women's right to choose. Period.

20. It's easier to compromise on this issue when you are a man, older/married woman. When you are

a young woman/girl and have a life that could be wrecked by an unwanted pregnancy it is a big, big, big deal. I knew plenty of women in college who had to have abortions. It was tough to do. I don't know anyone who took it flippantly. It was very accessible back then. Now I don't have the urgency and fear about this issue anymore but fair is fair. I had people who fought for this issue for me when I needed it and I cannot forget the women who are there now. I was in Jr. High School when the fight began. I didn't get it at first but it sure became important when I was 16-40. It had the potential to change my life. Back then it was not as much the political weapon/tool that it has turned into. The Republicans manipulated Evangelicals and many Catholics into fighting against it in large numbers. The Catholic Church was the main opposition to it in the beginning if I remember correctly. Now it's a whole different ballgame.

It's a big "eff you" and insult for ALL women for people to tell us that they have the right to "own" and control us.
