Ok, i'll preface this by saying that I am extremely pro-choice. I have not personally had one, but close friend's of mine have, and I've seen the repercussions first hand through them. It is extremely emotional and a very difficult decision. I don't think abortions as a means of birth control is appropriate. However, I will always always always defend a person to make decisions regarding their bodies with as much information as possible. I can't force my beliefs on others and I don't appreciate other's trying to force theirs on me (I'm not saying on GC, i just mean in general). I think picketing and everything goes on is offensive to me for that reason.

In New York, supporters of abortion rights will gather at the state Capitol in Albany to thank lawmakers for legalizing abortion in New York before it was legal in the rest of the country. The New York Legislature passed a bill that legalized abortion in April 1970. It was quickly signed into law by then-Gov. Nelson Rockefeller.
