I support abortion BUT I really think women should make that choice and get it done well before 20 weeks gestation.

But there is no room for gray in this debate, because the anti-abortion people want to ban it all. And if they could, they would probably go after birth control next.

Just because they are obsessive though, and have black and white thinking, doesn't mean we can't acknowledge there are gray areas, even as we resist any change in existing law.
