Subject: RE: BS: Roe v. Wade: Last Anniversary?
Yes, I agree,their energy would be better spent going after the government, but that's a lot of what they have been doing, isn't it? Else how did we get such an anti-abortion president and government to the point we are having this thread discussion?
I wasn't referring to your point about government funding; only, the part about them being so easy to get. They were not so easy to get not too many years ago. We fought long and hard to secure a woman's right over her own body AND to make sure that that one previously illegal option was open to all women, regardless of their financial status.
Making them harder to get, esp. for poorer women, is exactly what bush and his ilk want.
Sorry, I know you know that, but I need to make sure it is clear where I was coming from.
