Romney: It’s My ‘Preference’ That The Supreme Court Reverse Roe V. Wade

[davsand]

46. Ya, exactly. My body, MY choice. I can't decide for anybody else.

Thing is, this is a group of folks who think they have rights to determine what is right for any woman--ALL women. They do not understand the idea that we are fighting to preserve that ability to make a decision in all cases. I am not pro-abortion. FAR from it. No woman, IMO, should be having to ever face the fear and pain of an unplanned pregnancy. Make no mistake, women do not terminate a pregnancy lightly or happily. Nobody does. We face those unchosen pregnancies, in part due to lack of access to contraceptives, in part due to contraceptive/user failures, and in part due to lack of education. We are better than that, as a nation.

I'd love to see a day when every pregnancy is a chosen one, and no woman ever faces an unwanted pregnancy. If they'd just devote even a quarter of their energy to making that happen, imagine how much better off we'd all be and how much our world would be improved. A lot of us would probably be right on board with that, or at least find it more comfortable. Instead we waste time fighting over a public health issue and a basic human right that was decided already.

We gotta keep on reminding them, I guess.
