73. The point is that if abortion's illegal

Edited on Sun Jan-31-10 10:43 AM by smoogatz

the "choice" is give birth or go to jail. That's not an actual choice--it is, in fact, the absence of choice. If abortion's illegal, women are coerced by the government into giving birth whether they want to or not. The choosing has already been done for them, by the government. So, saying you "chose" to keep the baby in a country where both seeking and providing abortions are criminal acts is disingenuous. Got it now?
