Spitzer's Abortion 'Wrongs'

Submitted by Ian, Feb 3, 2008 19:03

It's not like the government is going to be forcing abortions on the people. This bill is simply giving the people their own choice. What is wrong with that? Isn't that what we want in this country? I'm not saying I am pro abortion; however I think that this bill is appropriate considering some people feel differently. I am not about to tell someone they are wrong in a matter like this. It is purely ones own opinion, whether it be religious in nature or moral. But for someone to be denied their own right of choice would be wrong no matter what you personally believe.
