kaerlyon,
I appreciate your post, but I think you misunderstood my point. I VOTE for pro-choice candidates. However, I personally would not choose for an abortion. That, is actually the perfect example of "pro-choice": the ability to have an abortion, but the choice not to.

Come on. You honestly think that there is a significant portion of the US population that seeks to control women the way the Taliban do? Uh, no. The MASSIVE difference that the two of you seem to be forgetting is adoption. A woman does not have to raise the child she births. In Afghanistan, she does. It's just not the same thing.
Again, I'm not trying to make an argument for the curtailing or elimination of abortion - it is up to each person to decide. This law has little or nothing to do with self-determination. I would bet dollars to doughnuts this guy just thinks life begins at birth and a human is being murdered in an abortion. He doesn't care who raises it after it is born. He's not forcing that 15-year-old mother into a life serving coffee at the diner, uneducated and lost to personal prosperity.
