Yes, Jill, it is truly and inexcusably wrong to make the victim or the doctor who saved her a criminal. It's very stupid and the only reason for it is for the autocrats to control everything. The thing about publicizing truth that the people need to see doesn't start with raped girls or abortion providers, it starts with the very idea that things the government wants to keep hidden from the people aren't supposed to be seen so the government looks bad, and that has created a number of "good guys" being criminalized...Julian Assange, Ed Snowden, Chelsea Manning, and so many others through history, including me in a number of settings, are the bad guys because we spoke truth to power and succeeded in changing things or making people aware of what the real deal is. And today, there are so many things that need to be revealed to the public in very clear ways, such as the truth about both Kennedy assassinations, Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and Afghanistan, among a number of other things. The only reason pro-lifers squawk about abortion is because of a very mis-informed version of religion, and the fact that we aren't supposed to know the truth about what the Founders meant by the "right to life", which they never intended to mean the "right to be born"...it was about the right to choose the life that works best for us when we get here, born or immigrant. But that whole idea has been upended, starting somewhere around the late 1880's, and more so, since, because too many of "we, the people" have lost the understanding and the will to stand up for the rights we were given on Day One, with the responsibility to keep it for "...ourselves and our posterity..."
