I can't even begin to get behind the logic of someone who thinks that, say, giving birth to an anencephalic child and watching it die slowly is somehow more "moral" than terminating the pregnancy and preventing the child from suffering.

Speaking as someone who did clinic defense for *years* (week after week after week) and got up close and personal with the anti-choice fringe? There is no logic behind it. Only the deeply-held conviction that the child's condition is God's Will, and that we have no business interfering in the process.

The anti-choice leadership on the other hand? They're all about controlling women, and are as convinced as I am that a woman who doesn't control her reproduction doesn't control her life.
