What was Hillary thinking, promoting the idea that Women have a right to their own body. randys1 Feb 2015 #9

Her own words suggest she doesnt think much of a woman's right to her body Ramses Feb 2015 #12

Except that she supports the right of Women to make the final decision and to have birth control randys1 Feb 2015 #16

she is talking about bringing down the rate of abortions. Ramses Feb 2015 #15

SO, what is wrong with bringing down the rate of abortions? OKNancy Feb 2015 #22

There's NOT A THING wrong w/ aborting an unwanted pregnancy, so why the need 2 bring the # down? And why pander 2 people who think that way? InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #79

I think the idea is to prevent unwanted pregnency Alittleliberal Feb 2015 #82
