But it's not illegal.  It's against the rules of their employment, which is an
entirely different thing.

Well, I don't know what your views are aside from following your posts.  So,
since you refuse to say anything further about it, that's all I have to go on.
Your choice, of course.

Abortion is convenient?  You must not know too much about it, especially when
compared to other birth control methods.

They fail enough so that it's an issue, because people make mistakes and not
everyone is perfect in everything every time.  There are all kinds of safety
equipment on various power tools, but people still cut body parts off by
accident.

 > Abortion should never have been an `issue' in the first place.

No, it shouldn't, because it's not anybody's business but the mother's.  It
wasn't even open to discussion until a bunch of religious zealots decided they
were going to revoke the hard-won rights of women in an effort to relegate them
to second-class citizens once again.

Coat hangers, anyone?

I'd imagine a lot of them were because of accidents.  But, women have the right
to control over their own body, and that's that.  Once those rights are
revoked, they're walking incubators.

Misogyny comes into play when you're advocating the revocation of the rights of
women because you disagree with how they're using them.
