    Illegal Abortion

    This is what the "pro-life" folks just don't get. Actions like parental notification, waiting periods, just plain making it harder to get an abortion, and ultimately overturning Roe will never STOP abortions. Abortion is not the root cause: unwanted pregnancies are. And as long as those happen, abortion can either be a safe, medical procedure or a lethal do-it-yourself project. Women with the means to will go to Canada or Europe and some women who try this project will be very lucky. I hope all the pro-lifer's out there with daughters, mothers, aunts, nieces and friends have good health insurance that covers birth control.
