in some cases it's Ok but in other cases it's not. That kind of logic doesn't make sense. It should be Ok for whatever a woman decides and not up to the likes of Romney and all the other men deciding what a woman can do with her body. It should be every woman's decision for whatever reason she may have, period.

Instead they hold that some women "don't deserve" to be put through pregnancy and labor and delivery, and possibly giving up a child, while most women DO deserve to be put through that.

Either a woman has control over her body or she does not.
