It *IS* politics.
Whether you like it or not.

If it really was for the "life of the baby," these noisy anti-choice
activists would be putting more efforts into advocating for prenatal and
postnatal care, and better education to prevent pregnancies in the first
place.
Instead we get this "abtinence only" fantasy which while in theory would
work, in practice it doesn't.
Just ask Bristol Palin.

You remember what abortion was like, *PRIOR* to Roe V. Wade?
A hodgepodge of laws from state to state, with rich women paying under
the table or going on "European Vacations."
And poor women died.

There is one key word in this whole thing.
Control.

And the anti-choice activists want it.
