Ok, I just heard something slightly scary from a former presidential address to the public….this isn’t a quote, just a paraphrase:

There are those who say a woman has a right to determine what happens to her body, but doesn’t the child have a higher right?

Reason it scares me, as I stated last week, the emotional status of the mother becomes and issue. Not to mention the fact that fetus transplants aren’t an option. For those who are pro-life and pro-force-your-opinion-on-others’-bodies, if we could do fetus transplants from pregnant women who either can’t, or won’t, carry the pregnancy to term….would you be willing to carry the child and care for the child after it’s born? If no, then quit forcing your opinion on the bodies of other women who don’t want another life growing in their bodies. The thing that I find the most disgusting about the vocal pro-lifers is the fact that they don’t give a shit what happens to the child after it’s born. Ya know, kind of how McCorvey said the pro-choice movement treated her during the trials, they didn’t care about her well-being afterwards, just long enough for her to be a posterchild. That’s what each fetus has become to the people I’m talking about, just a posterchild and nothing more.

    You made my day.
    As a law student, I’m sure the first-year classrooms were filled with discourse on privacy rights…but we sometimes lose touch with the public. I will be a lawyer in less than a year, and I will fight to the end for a woman’s right of choice and privacy. Thank you for doing your part.

    PS see my post from today. Scary shit.
