Some church hierarchies and religious zealots, however, are doing their best to force their religious convictions on the entire country. Not only do they disapprove of abortion for themselves, they seek to decide this very personal decision for everybody else. Neither a church nor a government has the right to force a citizen to follow a particular religious or moral path. Nobody thinks abortion is easy and pleasant. Nobody plans on it.
Nobody has one for the fun of it.
Most women who have abortions were using birth control when they got pregnant. Birth control isn't perfect and accidents do happen. In the 1990s a number of new anti-choice legislators were elected to the Washington Legislature. The legislature has the authority to rewrite our abortion rights law at any time. Supporters of reproductive freedom and privacy must be alert to anti-choice legislation and to the abortion rights views of legislators and candidates.
