    There are few situations where I would choose abortion, however if my wife or daughter needed an abortion for whatever reason, I’d want it to be legally available from a qualified healthcare provider with minimal wait time. This business of having to leave the state/country to get an abortion is fucking ridiculous.

      Exactly. I thought I was pro-life years ago because I personally wouldn’t consider an abortion outside of medical issues. But I also didn’t presume to make decisions for other people. It took a friend explaining to me that my position makes me pro-choice for me to understand. The Republicans have done a good job of framing the pro-choice stance as wanting to kill babies, and the pro-choice people haven’t done a good job explaining that it’s not.
