Ken: fighting against unjust coercion is the right thing  to  do.
But  the  laws  don't  *support* abortion, they *ignore* it. When
Khomeini's courts execute  someone  for  fornication,  U.S.  does
nothing - but that does not imply support. It is Iran's internal
affair. If you want to fight it, your fight is  against  Khomeini
and  his henchmen, not against US non-intervention. What is wrong
with non-intervention by state into a woman's internal affairs?
