Geithnerdaemmerung?

The first time I thought seriously about abortion was when I was in college, and a friend was raising money for one. I instantly contributed, though I was a less likely suspect than the Holy Ghost and had previously assumed that abortion was a bad thing. Thinking it over, I decided that I believed that abortion is a human right.
