Women and choices

But the article I read concerns me - in fact like the author, as a woman, I too am outraged by the decision. With even the 'less conservative' Republicans like Rudy Guiliani supporting this ban, its quite alarming to think what a Republican victory will mean for women's reproductive rights in the United States -
