Hillary and Bernie are both strong supporters of Roe V. Wade, which allows abortions till the fetus is viable at 26 weeks.

Neither Hillary nor Bernie would approve of killing a 39 week fetus unless there was a health reason involved. And no doctor would perform such an abortion, either, unless it was needed for the mother's health.

Like women can't think past our uteruses....it infuriates me to hear that so if I can diffuse my own anger with a sense of humor, it might help the conversation.

The government needs to keep its hands off of abortion rights, but I'm not sure what other healthcare decisions you think the government is controlling?

The only legislation Republicans have moved forward is to either repeal the ACA or to cripple women from making our own decisions when it comes to healthcare.

If Trump or Cruz get elected, we will see a real possibility of Roe v. Wade getting overturned.
