22. Choice is always good, and my mom told me about pre-Roe days
Edited on Mon Nov-15-04 07:46 PM by slackmaster
We do NOT want to go back to the patchwork of laws that existed before Roe v. Wade.

The situation was horrible for women here in California. If they wanted an abortion they had to choose between going to an underground operation that provided no followup support for complications, or to a Mexican doctor, or to another state.

I'm pro-choice for the same reason I almost always go with the side of individual liberty: Freedom of choice and self-determination are the cornerstones of our society.
