“Outside the realm of politics ...with families ...and churches. That's where it belongs.”
            -  Pro-Choice Robin Dole (Bob's abandoned daughter)...On how her opinion on abortion differs from her father.

“My Materal Grandmother died in childbirth. She had 6 pregnancies that we know about. On her fifth, her kidneys were damaged very severely, and the doctor told her and her husband that another pregnancy would most likely kill her. It did. She died in childbirth in 1942...leaving my mother and her siblings with a bad father who molested the girls and was then imprisoned. My mother and her sister were fortunate enough to be adopted, while their siblings were all 'farmed out'...a term meaning free room and board (but no education, hard manual labor, terrible abuse) for them.”

“I had a miscarriage. I would not seek an abortion for myself in my current circumstances...but who knows what tomorrow brings? None of the women in my family can physically tolerate birth control pills, and I am allergic to most spermicides. So, even with careful planning between my husband and myself, I could get pregnant. And, if my life were at stake, my husband and I would want to be able to HAVE the choice of whether or not I should die due to childbirth, instead of the government handing me the death sentence.”
