Interesting Thought...

I was at a Fundraising Benefit the other night and an interesting topic came up, Prostitution. As we all know it is illegal in New York, and tons of other places in the U.S. It is taxed in Las Vegas. But what is NOT illegal anywhere in the U.S. is abortion because it is considered a woman's right to her body and privacy. So in other words, you own your uterus but the government your vagina? I never had these two facts put together in this way, nor had I ever given this a thought. But when I was presented with this, I could not believe it!
