- Because if I were to outlaw abortions, this would mean that women
- would be forced to let someone else use their bodies against their
- wills. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: my right to my
- body goes deeper than my right to my life.

- Abortion isn't a fight between the life of one human and the comfort
- of another; it's a different battle: does the government have the
- right to forcibly intervene and compel one person to unwillingly let
- her body be used by somebody else?
