113. Thank you for your caring response.
Why do we have to give up in sacrifice those women who, through no choice of their own, have a pregnancy that threaten their health and/or their future pregnancies, due to a freak problem of pregnancy?

Say what anyone will about Bill Clinton, he had the decency to veto the first anti socalled partial birth abortion bill in Congress and held a press conference with women of faith who had desperately wanted their babies but whose pregnancies posed significant health/future fertility risks for them. They told their stories and were poignant and genuine.

One by one, and because it is so easy, antichoicers have been weakening Roe. Make no mistake, these people know what they are doing. They are writing bills and Supreme Court briefs, to decimate our right to choice. It is deliberate. They were counting on us to fold on PBA because "it can't happen to us." And it seems they were right. We did, and do, fold.

That is what worries me.
