Rep. Tim Ryan talks to women, changes stance on abortion

220px-Rep._Tim_Ryan_Congressional_Head_Shot_2010Here’s his guest op-ed where he says so. An excerpt:

…women gave me a better understanding of how complex and difficult certain situations can become. And while there are people of good conscience on both sides of this argument, one thing has become abundantly clear to me: the heavy hand of government must not make this decision for women and families.

As my friend and colleague U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro* says, “Nobody celebrates abortion.” No woman makes this decision lightly. Each and every American deserves the right to deal with these difficult situations in consultation with their families, close friends or religious advisers. No federal or state law banning abortion can honestly and fairly take into account the various circumstances that make each decision unique.

And thanks, Leftover, for the link.

*That’s my representative!
