Is abortion ever really out of play in Jo Mannies eyes? If it were, what would she write about?

I'm glad she had a choice. Choice is all we're talking about. The choice to decide for yourself.
I am pro-choice because I don't think all women must have every baby, anymore than all women must abort every pregnancy.
Reps don't get it ...
Conservatives of all stripes never have "gotten" the abortion question.
I am thoroughly pro-choice. That does not me I am pro-abortion. Actually, I am pro-choice and anti-abortion.
I do not think a 13 year old has the maturity to make such a life or death decision.
Ideally, an unwanted pregnancy should be discussed between the man and woman involved, but too often the men turn chicken, and the woman has to make the decision alone.
Men have been making life and death decisions for centuries, both as heads of state, military officers and as the individual with a gun, facing another individual who does not have a weapon. No one questions the right or ability of a man to make a life or death decision.
So why not extend that right to women as well? Choosing abortion is a terrible decision. It shouldn't be taken lightly. But it irks me no end that some MEN and people I don't know think they know better than I what needs to be done, and they want the force of law to enforce it against my will and my own body.
I find it vaguely amusing the Bwana Sarah thinks nothing about killing bears and moose, and fish, and who knows what else has fallen in her sights, but suddenly, make the life which stands in the balance human, and suddenly she is more pro-life than the Pope.
Slightly dippy, if you ask me.
