"May As Well Be" and "Is" are two very different things.

This is not what you thought it was.  In some places it may result in such a law passing.  In some places it will.  In some it won't.

It is however most certainly not taking away their choice to abort.

Given that you are Canadian, as "nodogs" for some reason decided to point out, this will not likely effect any of the three of us discussing it.  It cannot impact either of you, it may impact me, if I get my girl pregnant and she decides to abort it, which would still be legal in California.

So using that flawed logic only I should be talking about it.  Luckily I don't ascribe to that logic.  I still think everyone's contribution is worthwhile.
