Obama signs order reversing abortion-funds policy - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090123/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_abortion_ban - broken link)

President Barack Obama on Friday quietly ended the Bush administration's ban on giving federal money to international groups that perform abortions or provide information on the option. Liberal groups welcomed the decision, while abortion rights foes criticized the president.

That's always a choice and if people want to be abstinent/celibate...fine with me.
At the same time, what about a woman who is raped?
What about a woman who ended up pregnant and now finds out that her pregnancy is threatening her life and/or health?
Should she die because you feel a lump of cells > her life?
I don't think so....

Why should a woman have to carry her rapists fetus to term because you feel that fetus > the pain and suffering she will be reminded of every day as that fetus develops?

I guess it was a blessing I was as young as I was when I was raped because if some people had their way, I would have had to carry that fetus to term knowing every single day the reason why I was pregnant is because some piece of **** raped me.

Good decision. Now the government won't be interfering in a woman's right to choose.

Is abortion an issue for a "Lez" or am I misreading your name?
