      - because of the surrogacy? somewhat. far less so if it was not the surrogate's, biologically. - kare Oct 11, 13:42 4
        
        no, because of the issue of "aborting because of defect". - Reagen Oct 11, 13:44 3
        
        So folks might support a woman's right to chose abortion for no reason, but not for that reason? -- nm - mara Oct 11, 13:46 2
        
        i'm sort of blown away. ST break time. laters folks, and amoxy, i'm so sorry if i said anything to hurt you - kare Oct 11, 13:48
        
        supporting someone's right to choose does not mean you have support their reasons for choosing. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 13:48
