B) Yes, the lies spread about them. Abortion is accepted because it should be, but partial birth abortion is overwhelmingly condemned because of all those lies. Strong argument.

Don't forget that a Republican president nominated that hero of conservatism, Justice Stevens...
Also as to some of RU OX Alum's earlier points, and maybe I'm remembering things incorrectly, but neither
Roe nor
Casey made it ok to have abortions in every circumstance. There are still times when the legislature can step in where state interests are paramount. Granted, they are limited circumstances, but it's not always simply up to a woman's choice.
