The laws are not stiff enough yet to prevent the violence of the fanatics. Thanks, Tierney, but we have a long way to go for reproductive justice..

TY Tierney - I myself do not believe in abortion - but once again - it is a personal choice and the right of the person chosing this course - it is her body and no one else can tell her what to do. As for the Doctors and Nurses they are just doing their job like many others. I will always stand up for the rights of a person choice to live how they wish. Love & Light

Jaclin, I agree completely. Most of these clinics are providing birth control, not just abortion. The very thing these woman need to prevent abortion in the first place. It makes no sense to me that these anti-choice people who try and stop abortion are also stopping preventing it in the first place! Rational thinking No way.

of couse I think it should be a woman's choice -its her body and mind.

Otherwise? They are like some public womb, controlled by the government, like a cow on a factory farm, with not much to say about anything

I AM PRO LIFE BUT DO I FEEL THAT NOBODY SHOULD FEAR GOING INTO THEIR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. IF WE WANT TO CHANGE ANYTHING IN THIS LIFETIME, VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE ANSWER.
