- There seems to be an implicit assumption in that quote that all women
- _want_ to abort, and it was only the doctors' refusal that saved us
- all. My personal favorite one-liner, and the gut-level reason why I
- am pro-choice, is "I would have never wanted my mother to be forced
- to give birth to me."
