    You don't get to decide what anybody else needs, you can decide what YOU need, though.

    Yet he/whomever DOES get to decide if a woman "needs" an abortion or not?

    Well, that's your opinion, anyway. Pretty hard to define "need" sometimes. Quite easy to define a Constitutional right, though.

    By the way, AR-15's are not used in war. By anybody.

    Ah, but they were. I carried one (but didn't fire it) when I was
    at Da Nang in 1965

    No, you didn't. Your memory is getting fuzzy.

    You carried either an M-14 or an M-16.

    I was in the Air Force, Dan, and I carried an AR-15. I don't think the
    M-14 or M-16 was in the Army's inventory in 1965, although I'm sure they
    were being tested.

    An AR-15 is *NOT* a military weapon, and never has been. It also
    is *NOT* the same thing as an M14/M16. I would hope that you know
    the differences, and I'm wondering why you apparently do not.

    I don't know the differences, as far as I know I've never seen an M-16 or
    an M-14

    No he doesn't, SHE does

    that's the problem... who the hell do those men think they are to tell women what they can do with their bodies? bodies that those men simply do not understand how they work...

    Hello David,

    OK, let me start with I'm for gun control. (No one really needs an
    AR-15
    unless you're in a war trying to kill lots of people.)

    You don't get to decide what anybody else needs, you can decide
    what YOU
    need, though.

    not?

    It's worse in Mississippi.

    There is only one city in Mississippi where a woman can get
    an abortion. That is Jackson. Actually, one building in Jackson.
    A small pink building.

    A woman in Mississippi can get an abortion up to 15 weeks pregnant.
    If she is 16 weeks pregnant she is shit out of luck and must carry
    to term.

    The building next door to the building where women can get an
    abortion is a crisis pregnancy center. This is where women who
    have no money go when they want to have an abortion. The folks
    at the crisis pregnancy center are not there to help women get
    an abortion, but to stonewall women long enough so that they
    can no longer get an abortion.

    If you are a woman, have no money, and are just a little bit
    pregnant, you may not know you are pregnant until well after you
    are 15 weeks pregnant. How are you going to get out this pickle
    when the place you are staying is not all that stable?

    Hopping on a bus to go to California in order to get an abortion
    is not all that easy for someone in Mississippi who has no money.
