I personally find abortion to be abhorrent, but I don't think anyone should have the right to force their moral or religious views on any other person. Thus, I sadly agree that the woman in question should ultimately have the right to make that choice. However, I do see a problem with using taxpayer money to finance such procedures unless the life of the woman is in danger, or there are serious extenuating circustances such as incest or rape.Quote:

Onward!
