You can bring whatever else in to the mix that you want to talk about.... but the bottom line concerning abortion is that most 16 year olds that get an abortion without thier parents knowing about it, are being funded by yours and my tax dollars. It shouldn't be difficult to understand that therefore the issue is not about freedom of choice. It is not an issue between a woman and her doctor (because we're paying for a percentage of them). It is about women being given the right to kill their own babies. And you know... as much as I think that in and of itself damages our society, it is worse to me when we let our government pay for the murders.

So you can bring the tax dollars in the mix but I cant mention how were killing living kids like Sun Hudson?
