Your post is, not untypically, incoherent. I'm not sure what the empowered women business is about, but it is surely not about the millions of little girl prostitutes whose suffering numbers are being added to yearly as overpopulation worsens. I do gather you oppose contraceptive information and other health services being provided to these third world countries in which babies die of starvation after their parents die of AIDS and excess children get sold into sexual slavery. (Unless the doctors obey the gag order.) The practice of abortion has not been funded by the US since 1973. So in fact, the policy is for the sole purpose of gagging physicians. They can not tell a woman, for example an AIDS-infected woman, the implications for her of not aborting, or... no funds for health care or contraception.... And I think the hideously cruel results of that policy make it evil. You don't.

<<< aynrand.org click here e, and see what a real empowered woman looks like >>> Average, you are hilarious: What was your heroine's view on abortion? Excerpt from “Of Living Death” The Objectivist, October 1968: "An embryo has no rights. Rights do not pertain to a potential, only to an actual being. A child cannot acquire any rights until it is born. The living take precedence over the not-yet-living (or the unborn). Abortion is a moral right--which should be left to the sole discretion of the woman involved; morally, nothing other than her wish in the matter is to be considered. Who can conceivably have the right to dictate to her what disposition she is to make of the functions of her own body?" Ayn Rand
