Abortion? Critique of Ms. Michaud's Post.

After reading Ms. Michaud's article on Abortion, I found myself agreeing with almost everything she said. As someone who is pro-choice, I find it hard to agree with what President Obama was quoted as saying that everyone who is pro-life are terrorists. I don't agree on so many levels. Everyone has a right to do with their body as they please. I agree with her stance on Oklahoma having strict abortion laws. I mean, what does race have to do with having an abortion? I believe that what you do with your body is your own personal business, I think that's where government should draw the line. I don't think government should dictate what a woman does with her body. Plus, if we overturn Roe v. Wade then you'll have women getting botched abortions which leave them unfertile or worse they wind up dead. I hope I never see this in my lifetime or any lifetime for that matter. I also agree that it shouldn't be tax-funded. It is not health care. Although I think that we should atleast help these women financially to afford it. Although I agree with what Ms. Michaud stated I would've liked her to delve more into the history of abortion and why it's important for us to retain Roe v. Wade.
