At a very fundamental level, John David.....I believe we are gifted with human freedom in our decisionmaking by a God who took that risk....in lieu of robots...

And the risk is obviously that we would use the freedom badly....

I am reminded of the language around the exercise of personal conscience.....which ends with the exercise of such freedom  "right or wrong" is the ultimate arbiter.....

I think Kaines question goes to the heart of this issue....he asked three times if Pence didn't trust women relative to their conscience and abortion.....

I don't think Pence answered the question....per se...but it is obvious that he wants govt control and his fellow candidate wants punishment of such women.....
