I happen to be fully supportive of a woman's right to abortion access.   However when anyone, particularly someone who is in a position of authority as is Miram Monsef, makes hyperbolic statements that denying funds to abortion providers is violence against women, it hurts the cause more than helps it.

She diminishes her own credibility.  She damages the credibility of the organisation she represents.  She even demeans an important topic such as violence in our society.  

Ms. Monsef is a great asset to the Conservative party.
