It is about aborting a pregnancy.
Anybody that doesn't know that is a pretty dang ignorant idiot.
So by SaltyRep's own admission pretty dang ignorant idiots are the only ones attracted to the anti-choice side.
I suspected as much but now I have had it verified by an claimed insider.

THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR ASSERTION IS THAT YOU MISSED MY POINT. Yes people know on paper that an abortion ends the life of an unborn baby but they don't know that the BABY EXPERIENCES PAIN in many cases experience pain and also SOMETIMES THE BABY SURVIVES THE ABORTION (unless Dr. Gosnell is present).
NARAL is one of the pro-abortion groups that Max quotes often. Dr. Bernard Nathanson was one of original founders of NARAL. Here is why he left the pro-abortion movement and basically it was because of this first issue I mentioned. Here is a portion of his story:
Within a year after Roe v. Wade, however, Nathanson began to have moral doubts about the cause to which he had been so single-mindedly devoted. In a widely noticed 1974 essay in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, he revealed his growing doubts about the “pro-choice” dogma that abortion was merely the removal of an “undifferentiated mass of cells,” and not the killing of a developing human being. Referring to abortions that he had supervised or performed, he confessed to an “increasing certainty that I had in fact presided over 60,000 deaths.”
Still, he was not ready to abandon support for legal abortion. It was, he continued to insist, necessary to prevent the bad consequences of illegal abortions. But he was moving from viewing abortion itself as a legitimate solution to a woman’s personal problem, to seeing it as an evil that should be discouraged, even if for practical reasons it had to be tolerated. Over the next several years, while continuing to perform abortions for what he regarded as legitimate “health” reasons, Nathanson would be moved still further toward the pro-life position by the emergence of new technologies, especially fetoscopy and ultrasound, that made it increasingly difficult, and finally impossible, to deny that abortion is the deliberate killing of a unique human being–a child in the womb.

Arkie what would happen to that same lady if she hired someone to kill her child a month after the child was born?

Couldn't be better you would have been great to argue with back in 1860 and I can hear you now, "Don't like slavery? Don't own a slave!"
Zatharus those 61 stories on their website just didn't make the cut when it came to their evening news broadcast because of liberal bias and the fear of showing young people what abortion really involved.
Our culture has really changed dramatically the last 40 years since the Roe v. Wade decision. Sadly many young people really do believe the pro-abortion message about choice but the fact remains that once these young people see more about what an abortion is really about then they will move the pro-life direction. That is the reason the mainstream press tried so long to ignore the Kermit Gosnell Trial. I put up an editorial cartoon that makes that very point and here is a portion from a fine article from Life News:
Rep. Chris Smith held a special speaking panel in the House of Representatives on April 11 to address this very issue. One speaker, Rep. Marlin Stutzman of Indiana, gave a very eloquent summary of this egregious violation of journalistic responsibility. He noted of the Gosnell debacle, “The loss of these lives should scar the consciences of people everywhere … Gosnell is a predator who should be publicly exposed and denounced.” As for the media, Rep Stutzman hit the nail on the head, asking, “How is it in our day of constant news, not a single major news outlet has reported [on the Gosnell trial]?” He also made a very poignant point that gets to the heart of why this story had gone unreported – perhaps it is that our national conscience has been seared by the deaths of 1.2 million children by abortion every year.

Republican controlled states have mostly rejected Obamacare because they don't want to expand government. It has nothing to do with the repeated votes by the house.
Re: “Judge Wright issues injunction against abortion law”
Teacher42 says, "Why is it that pro-lifers think that their opinions are the only ones that are right?"
Back in 1850 the slaves were wondering why their opinion didn't matter either. The Dred Scott decision did not recognize the black person's humanity and Roe v. Wade decision did not recognize the unborn child's humanity. Sadly proportionally more black babies are being aborted today than any other large racial group in this nation. It is sad that this judge did not take up for blacks' unborn children rights.
