All of you commenters here who keep bringing up torture [abortion] and going on and on about it:
You all are such simplistic one-issue voters on this torture [abortion] issue. You're in such lockstep with the
I’m personally opposed to torture [abortion], but I don’t think I could ever impose that view on somebody else.
I’d rather see us have a President who works to reduce the need for torture [abortion]. We need to get at the deeper issues here – it’s not just as black and white as you religious-types always say. We should work with torturers [abortion providers] to support them, not criminalize them.

A truly enlightened society would keep torture [abortions] safe, legal, and rare.
