I wanted to add a clip from Rachel Maddow's show, shown previously in one of hungrycyote's comments. It was regarding an al Jazeera documentary on the abortion wars, where an Ohio state legislator was interviewed regarding his cosponsored legislation that would dramatically roll back the time in which a woman in Ohio would be allowed to have an abortion. Maddow indicates he tells the reporter what he really wants is for there to be no abortion in Ohio at all except to save a woman's life. (Yes, many states really do have legislatures that are intent on outlawing abortions. While this may have started as a wedge issue, it is being taken very seriously).

Let's not leave women's decisions about their reproductive health and choices to those who have "never ever thought about" it.
