Fine.  I, being a pro-lifer will go along with that.  It makes sense, right?
Two things, however.  You will probably be surprised that if just women voted
on this issue, abortion would be made illegal.  Second, in light of the fact
that the fetus cannot speak for itself - which is also true of newborns - I
exercise my constitutional right to speak for him or her.  Therefore, for all
the "women" being aborted daily, I strongly support a pro-life law outlawing
abortion.
