What is it with women who want to kill their babies?
Let’s use limits on abortion instead of bans. Who in the world, except crazy liberals, are against limits? We are championing abortion limits, not bans because in cases of life or death of the mother has to be an exception. And not the overly broad health exemptions where morning sickness could be used.
