Well, it's been two years. I think if you had proofread your post a bit more carefully it would have been a little easier to read. I think if you had responded sooner i might be more apt to care about my 'egregious misreading' of your post and your subsequent wounded posturing.
The issue of whether or not we(i'm assuming you meant to say "we" instead of nothing at all)should repeal the law about late term abortions is a matter of when we think life begins. Maybe in a legal sense it isn't the woman's body in the context of late term abortions. However, the law, as far as i have seen, doesn't make that distinction in the context of surgical procedures associated with labor complications. In the context of this issue, it is her body, her choice. This wasn't an abortion. This was a woman refusing to have a c-section. Even if the latter ultimately has the same result as the former they are two seperate issues.
