...vile idea of freedom...
You will not be happy until you have turned this country into a totaletarian theocracy like the Sudan and reduced it to just another backward third-world nation where the most fortunate of all are those who are never born.
If you cared even for a minute about reducing the number of abortions, you would not be campaigning for more government, but for less. You would be for eliminating the government schools where are young girls are taught to experiment with sex at as young an age as possible. You would be campaigning against every welfare program that makes millions of Americans totally irresponsible, with the government picking up the tab.
If you were really opposed to abortion, you might spend some hours with a young girl tormented by a decision she must make about her entire future, and frightened by everything she is told. Terrified by those who are calling her a, "child-killer," but finding no one who will comfort her and help her make the right choice.
I guess you are all too busy with your demonstrations, and writing emails, and trying to get laws passed to actually help those who need the help. Change the meaning of everything, call the fetus a baby, call abortion murder, call everyone who is actually doing something, "equivocators."
Do you know almost all these women call their unborn their baby? To the women, what they have in them is their child. Not one of them wants to loose that child, and would do anything to have that child and know it would develop, and never suffer, and grow to adulthood. But they do not believe that is possible. They somehow believe they are saving their unborn from a life of torment by aborting them. Of course, they are confused. Most are very young. Most understand almost nothing of life, or how to cope with all its demands, even without a child. (I'm not talking about the hardened cases. You are not going to stop them with any laws.)
Everything your doing is having the opposite affect from what you claim to want. But, have it your way. Just don't pretend to me its from some morally superior position. It's just hatred for humanity.

Do you counsel or work with such girls?
How are the two mutually exclusive? I'd no sooner leave my child in the care of a public school than I would drop her off at Planned Parenthood for the afternoon.
