Ethics, Abortion, and Real Life (preaching to the choir?)

Reading pharyngula, i came across this essay relating a doctors personal reasons for providing abortions. A quote, the same one as PZ uses because it’s the best:

I don’t have anything to say?

not really. but “they” do, if you’re interested in a thorough analysis of the illegality of the whole “domestic warantless wiretapping” thing, you should read this thing, written by no less than 15 constitutional scholars.

From Page 15 of the Los Angeles Times
