women's rights/health clinics
 

Organ donors are required to carry a card so that their organs may be harvested after death, the rights of a CORPSE are such that potentially life saving organs for others CANNOT be harvested without the permission of the owner, protected post-humously by a card designating the person as a donor or non donor. EITHER WAY this ensures a person's rights over their body EVEN IN DEATH, EVEN AS A CADAVER.  With this in mind, why wouldn't women be allowed the same sovereignty over their own bodies, and the freedom of choice about abortion or any other women's health issue. Real live women should have way more rights than any corpse!!!!!!!! Men and politicians should stay out of women's health legislation, clinics should stay open, and education is key - abortion is not pleasant or an easy choice to make, with education we can minimize the necessity for abortion without making it hard for women to access vital health care.
