9. Icertainly am

completely of the mind that the abortion decision needs to be only up to the woman, the medical provider, and perhaps her partner. But a key part of Carter's statement is "to minimize the need . . ."

Just as a general comment about those who are trying to retrict abortioin in this country: Do they really honestly believe that if they make abortion very difficult to obtain, that abortion will magically go away?

Look for the return of what we used to call back-alley abortions, and all the horrors that went with them.
