that woman has decided that her womb is not willing.

I would not question a woman who chose (the operative idea being "choice&quot to bring a fetus to term that occurred as a result of rape, any more than I would question a woman who chose to terminate a pregnancy for that, or frankly, any reason.

It's just not my business. It's not anyone's business. It's a personal choice that a woman makes--not me, not any politician.

I always tell people that if they do not care for abortion, they should be sure to not ever get one.
