What kind of pro-choice person are you?
March 28, 2013 by 6 Comments
I have noticed that pro-abortion choice advocates claim they are not pro-abortion, they merely support the ability to choose whether or not to have an abortion. I don't buy it.

Open Thread – Guns and abortion
March 21, 2013 by 70 Comments
