“I am so determined that when we talk about women having the right to make decisions about their own lives, that abortion and reproductive issues are one of the things that most determines a woman’s future and options in many ways. I am so determined that Roe v. Wade be upheld,” Weddington told the magazine.

I don't think anyone would deny women should have the right to make decisions about their own lives, but once she is pregnant, there is another life in the picture. The real question should be does a woman have the right to end that innocent life? Very rarely is a woman pregnant because of rape - and even then the child should not pay the penalty for the act of her/his father. The majority of abortions are for "unplanned" pregnancy - meaning usually unprotected sexual activity. The sacrifice of a living human being is a steep price for careless sex.

I wish women's rights advocates cared more about this than they do about unfettered abortion access. I would love to see the day where abortion won't have to be made illegal because it will be UNTHINKABLE.

The BEST time to think about making decisions about their own lives is BEFORE the pants come off!!

Granted, it’s not what we WANT to be thinking about whilst in the throws of passion, so think about that before you get into a compromising situation.

How freaking complicated is that???
