Being pro-choice was not just a movement to me; it was a lifestyle. I wholeheartedly embraced that lifestyle and loved being a part of it.
Pro-life feminists believe in women and their ability. Pro-choice feminists only see women as weak and something to be exploited.
I'm one-hundred percent pro-choice. I align with everything Emily's List aligns with.
All I'm asking for is the law that's been on the books for the last 33 years, no public funding for abortion. We are both saying the same thing, pro-life, pro-choice. Let's find the language that works for both of us so we can pass health care.
