They chose to give birth to those children. Indeed, it\u2019s a choice most women who become pregnant do make. Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, who led the filibuster against Senate Bill 5 in the Texas Legislature this week, made a similar choice when she was pregnant at the age of 19 with her first child. For that she deserves high praise, not the kind of condemnation she is receiving now from those who want to write laws that prohibit women from making the most heart-wrenching choice they\u2019ll ever make.<\/p>\n<p>Those on the pro-choice side of the abortion debate should not be construed as being \u201cpro-abortion.\u201d They merely want government to keep its mitts off a woman\u2019s body; they want to enable women across America to make these choices themselves after consulting with their clergy, their families, their own souls. <\/p>\n<p>Whether they choose to end a pregnancy or give birth to a child should be a woman\u2019s <em>choice<\/em> \u2026 pure and simple.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where Wendy Davis appears to stand. That\u2019s where government at all levels \u2013 as well as Laura Ingraham and others on her end of the political spectrum \u2013 need to butt out.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Radio talk show host\/gasbag Laura Ingraham has joined the Bash Wendy Davis Brigade on the right wing of the Republican Party.
