The question then becomes, only women with money should have access to an abortion?

No, it should be available for all. The question is, of course, who pays for the procedure? I understand that in many cases women without money are just that. But just like there are Pro-Life organizations that help those choose birth, financially, I believe there can be Pro-Choice organizations that could offer help so "choice" really is an option. It also eliminates one of the things that infuriate people who otherwise support the right to choose. Would I ban government support? No, I just think it's a bad idea that opens a rather rot filled can of worms.

Planned Parenthood is another example. I have dealt with them in the past. They are a fine organization that made a very bad choice years after I no longer needed their services; to get involved with providing abortions. The concept of the organization should be, as those who helped me back then said, provide birth control and birth options first and then if someone chooses abortion provide information about where.

Once again, I understand why they did, but that can of worms is even more rot filled. It has tainted the whole organization and that's unfortunate.
