Isn't the viable woman more important than the viable fetus? [View all]

I think so, and I think any rational person should think so, also.

Abortion is a a medical procedure. It terminates an unwanted pregnancy. It has been legal in this country since 1973 with Roe v. Wade.

Get into 2015 and out of 1957, all of you pro-life (as they call themselves) idiots. This is 2015.

Don't want to rant, but a friend of mine who had an abortion (1984) called me, very upset, because some "pro-life" relative brought up her abortion at, of all things, the table at a wedding reception today! By her account, she left embarrassed, humiliated and in tears.

She has calmed down but I haven't. I think that sucks! Really pisses me off.
