I tend to agree but this subject has become a political football in this country - with women as the football. This bill is well know as a "stepping stone" bill that will lead to further restrictions and an eventual ban on all abortions. I am not crazy about the thought of abortion - I have 3 kids and can't contemplate not having either of them. On the other hand I have friends who are catholic (as I am) who had 5 and 6 kids that they could not afford to support and then finally had an abortion when they got pregnant with yet another baby. Obviously, birth control measures could solve some of these issues but this administration is also limiting access and information about birth control. My local school district had one of the nations best sex-ed classes when my sons went to high school in the nineties. Their funding was completely cut after Bush got in because they taught birth control and recommended Planned Parenthood. They were told to drop those topics or lose their funding. They kept the topics but have fewer classes now due to budget restrictions.
