Thread Name: A Different Kind Of Death Chamber
Subject: RE: A Different Kind Of Death Chamber
At the website I linked to, there is a very good, paragraph by paragraph analysis of the Nebraska bill which, as others have opined, was worded very ambiguously and was aimed at eventually removing access to any safe and legal abortions.

One other thing I wuld like to point out that anyone could do to help lessen the need for abortion and that is gain widespread acceptance and availability of RU486, the "morning-after" pill, which a woman can take after having sex without birth control and prevent conception all together. The fanatics would remove all birth control and all abortion rights. Many of them have been very successful at stopping even this measure. This is what I mean when I get upset about the control of women. When it gets carried to this kind of extreme, it makes me and some of my *sisters* feel equally extreme in our responses and demand for all options being available as our choice.

It's really simple....better availability and safety of birth control = less need for any type of abortion.

Thanks,
