And that's what bothers me. The wordsmithing that has currently been used most definitely leans towards the direction of "women need to have kids" instead of "women should plan their reproductive lives". And in the hands of a politician, that can be very, very dangerous. What the CDC said slants in the one direction more than the other, and therefore leaves what "should" be done versus what "must" be done up to interpretation... And there's a lot of interpretation that a politician can do with the current wording that can take this to a whole new level.
