Reply #4: I'm with you and we ain't going back.

[merci_me]

I marched in DC for the ERA, I testified before the Ohio Senate for ratification. I have three daughters, 2 granddaughters, a sister, 4 nieces and a grandniece. I lost a friend in high school, to an illegal abortion. I was fighting for them then and I will NOT participate in any attempt to take one single step backward now.

It's not about having an abortion, it's about the right for a woman who is pregnant to know she is going to term, because the choice is hers, not because the arm of a paternalistic government is being held over her. If we lose that right, what other rights do women lose? How far back?
