29. I like the way you
lovingly said (above in another reply) "they're simply clueless."

I understand the temptation to "communicate" with these people. I don't doubt the sincerity or concern of well-meaning folks. The fact remains that this is a right of women, it is one of the MOST personal possible experiences; it does not warrant public intrusion, and frankly, it is none of anyone's business. PEOPLE HAVE TO ACCEPT IT-- THEY DON'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH IT. DEMOCRATS NEED TO HAVE THE BACKBONE TO SUPPORT WOMEN AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS TO SUCH A FUNDAMENTAL DEGREE. To do otherwise is to endanger the Democratic Party's survival.

There are many aspects of life and health that we might intrude our opinions, morals and scrutiny into. Unless it endangers others, this society generally doesn't encourage that behavior. Why is this ONE ISSUE-- answerable with the simple FACT of a woman's autonomy over her privacy, her health and her body-- fair game for the intrusive judgement and political terrorism of so-called "moral" people?

We'll have to look up your reference. I doubt the Court referred to the "rights" of the fetus.

The bumpersticker version would be:
WOMEN ARE NOT INCUBATORS.
