What an absolutely ridiculous post. How is it possible to lack such basic knowledge of politics in this country? https://www.google.com/search?q=abortion%20restrictions%20in%20the%20us&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.47534661,d.aWc&biw=1024&bih=643&um=1&hl=en&authuser=0&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw&ei=AjmxUdyUFJP_yQHQwoHQAw

If you can't support something as basic as a women's right to choose, what's the point of even pretending?
