Shannyn deserves a great deal of credit for having the courage to support women's rights. Very many people reading this article will agree with her entirely, but will avoid saying so in a comment because of the vituperation they know they will hear from those who disagree. Repeated polls have shown that, in fact, a majority of Americans support abortion rights. The history of women's rights in our country - the history of all human rights in our country - has been long and tortured. This struggle is unlikely ever to end.
