Redneck Mother – Not a Baby Machine (found via Twisty):
You have no idea what you’re trying to control, no right to do it and no way to do it to your misguided satisfaction anyway because women are not machines and reproduction is not an industrial process. Pregnancy is unpredictable, carries infinitely variable risks, and is so private that it is in many ways a closed book even to the woman herself. If she and her obstetrical team can’t shoehorn it into neat, predictable processes, why do you presume you can?

Just because some of us will still be able to get abortions in some places doesn’t make it ok to give up the fundamental right to choose when and if to procreate.
