What people believe when it comes to abortion shapes everything whether it is related to abortion or not.

I totally understand what you mean when you say that at some points you wanted the book to be over, but it sounds like it has lots of good points on its favor tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7282154254383058420.post-57991677605536003712012-04-09T22:42:01.536-05:002012-04-09T22:42:01.536-05:00Excellent review.
