Shit that's a lot of comments. tl:dr so who does the prochoice movement vote for?

Well the thread got off to a bad start, crashed and burned badly in the middle, and it was all downhill from there.

Basically the Standard admins gave Queen of Thorns a guest post about abortion law reform, but did so in such a way that most of the thread is QoT and her femmposse going thermonuclear AT the Standard admins for being perfect examples of the misogynist patriarchal culture that is preventing abortion law reform.

BYO marshmallows, it's good.

“for me its about he choice of women to control their bodies ” perhaps if this control was exerted earlier in the proceedings then abortion need not raise its head.

I used to work for the abortion supervisory committee (yes I know), the law isn't in any way compatible to what's actually happening, but the work-around is reasonably effective and NZ has some pretty mint doctors in this respect. It's going to be pretty ugly when it hits parliament but time is definitely on the side of pro-choice in this debate IMO.
