Maggie Gallagher's recent column at Townhall reminds us that China's one birth policy is still a very scary thing. It's hard to imagine anything more terrifying for a woman than a literally pro-abortion government. I'm not just using that as a provocative renaming of a pro-choice ideology, either. Perhaps it also reminds us as well why it can be a conversation killer to refer to pro-choice Americans as pro-abortion, even among our pro-life friends. We might reach a day where governments, businesses, co-workers, and family members try to compel women to have abortions against their will, but we aren't quite there yet. Let's just hope that if abortion is ever made a constitutional amendment, someone has the smarts to make compulsory abortions a criminal offense.
