Pro-life at any price:
    WASHINGTON (AP) -- Women seeking abortions in Mississippi must first sign a form indicating they've been told abortion can increase their risk of breast cancer. They aren't told that scientific reviews have concluded there is no such risk.

    Similar information suggesting a cancer link is given to women considering abortion in Texas, Louisiana and Kansas, and legislation to require such notification has been introduced in 14 other states.

I understand if people feel strongly about abortion, and I respect the right of all people to voice their opinions, but what I don't understand is why they would feel the need to lie if they really believe they are in the right. Shouldn't they be able to convince women not to have abortions using the truth, if that is the better choice? Why should they need to promote blatant lies to get their way, and how can they feel comfortable with themselves knowing they are using dishonest means and deceiving women about what is one of the most important decisions a human can make?
