Politics: Abortion

From an op-ed by Michael Kinsley:

No other nation obsesses about abortion the way we do. But many Americans believe that legalized abortion is government-sanctioned murder, or something close to it. And many others (including me) believe that forcing a woman to go through an unwanted pregnancy and childbirth is the most extreme unjustified government intrusion on personal freedom short of sanctioning murder.

Surely that's a bit much. Remember, no one is obligated to look after the child after he is born because of adoption. Kinsley must have a very limited imagination.
