Some more Boston Legal commentary on abortion

This snippet of conversation comes from an episode and is discussing the outcome of a female rape victim who successfully sued the Catholic hospital doctor that refused her RU-486 (morning-after pill) based on the "conscience" clause under Massachusetts state law:

Julie Bowen: She said that she would never even consider it (abortion).

Candace Bergen: What's the alternative? Having custody battles with your rapist? Sorry, that was really tasteless.

Julie Bowen: It's all tasteless. The more science comes up with alternatives to the misery of abortion, the louder the opposition.

Candace Bergen: 'Cause it's about power. It's always been about power.

****

It is about power, isn't it?
