Also, Morbs, if your opposition to abortion is that aborting a fetus is equivalent to killing a living thing, I must ask what punishment you think is appropriate for a woman who gets an abortion.

In IL, the penalty for first degree murder ranges from 20 years to death.

Jenny, I recognize those issues re lesbians exist. Also, I think you meant "equivalent to killing a human," because an ant is a living thing and there is no penalty.

And I am not discussing my views on that issue on the Internet. It's like arguing about the sunrise.

...But that you immediately leapt to the conclusion that I am an abortion abolitionist is kinda significant in this context. See Citizen Ruth.

Having considered it and swept aside knee-jerk reactions, I would have to say that the decision of when when a pregnancy should or should not be kept (because of the fetus being a human or not) is a decision that the pregnant person has a right to decide far more than a legislator or *any other* party involved.

This all reminds me--in the wake of the slew of Right-wing homos I've had the great luck to meet recently, I was chatting with a really nice 22 year old at the bar recently who told me that his greatest goal in moving to Chicago was to work at Planned Parenthood. I wanted to hug him and set up a fund for grad school for him.

xp- yes.
