Doesn't the use of the word "choice" in this blog post indicate that abortion should not be outlawed? It can't be a choice if there is no alternative. Or was the irony unintentional?
Do we force women to carry pregnancies to term? I've never heard a pro-lifer (including, myself) answer this question.

Abortion is killing another person. Why is killing only legal for pregnant women?

If slavery were legal, I'd get behind a program called "choose freedom". That doesn't, in the end, really mean I think the slaveowners have the moral, or should have the legal, right to choose slavery instead.

Right on, Roy! You're a man after my own heart.

Yeah, I agree. Thank God that we elected O'bama instead of Grampy McCain.
