"Here is the trap you are in.... And it's not my trapâ€”I haven't trapped you. Because abortions are illegal, women who need and want them have no choice in the matter, and youâ€”because you know how to perform themâ€”have no choice, either. What has been violated here is your freedom of choice, and every woman's freedom of choice, too. If abortion was legal, a woman would have a choiceâ€”and so would you. You could feel free not to do it because someone else would. But the way it is, you're trapped. Women are trapped. Women are victims, and so are you."
