I’ve been following the abortion discussion at The Daily Dish since the murder of Dr. George Tiller last week.  It’s been quite moving to read people’s personal accounts.  These are heartbreaking stories–many from couples who wanted children.  The choice position can be portrayed as a gift to frivolous, selfish women who choose abortion as easily as they choose a nail color.  Bullshit.  It’s about access to healthcare.  And yes, it’s about deciding for yourself with your family and your God what is best.  If a women decides to carry a baby to term who has zero chance of surviving after delivery, that is her choice.  No one should take that away from her.  But who is the asshole who would force a woman to carry dead fetus to term against her will?  Who does that help?
