re: Just saw a banner on tv saying "GOP will make abortion front and center in the debates"

So it's not o.k. for a politician to decide that a woman can't rob a bank? Or rape someone else with a broom handle? Or steal? Or drive drunk?

Politicians decide what women (and men) can and cannot do all the time.

It's pretty obvious in the context of abortion that I meant what they can/cant do to their body. We're not talking about robbing banks and stealing cars.

And I'm not perpetuating a talking point. Its how they feel, and even if they have no intention of ever having an abortion themselves, they will vote against it based on principal alone.
