you want to, but don't pass laws against it. as much as it pains me to say this, having lived down the street from a planned parenthood, you have a right to try to convince (even through less than tasteful means) someone they're doing something wrong. where things get sticky is when you forcibly impose your values on someone else's lfe.
since all the pro-lifers are using the hackneyed shock language (nazi, jim crow), i'm going to lower myself to their level. how is forcing a woman to take a child to term any different than forcibly fertilizing her eggs (that's rape!). in either case, you take away her right to decide what happens to her body.
i think i know what you're thinking - is rape worse than murder?
if, god forbid, that happens to anyone close to you (or directly to you), you'll know the answer.
