When did you figure that out?

I'm with you in that I don't feel really comfortable with the government making a moral judgment in an area of so much disagreement, but it's really sad how many abortions are taking place for no other reason than the pregnancy is somewhat inconvenient. The problem I have with the pro-choice side of this is that they seem very resistant to any attempts to making abortion the least bit difficult. That bothers me a lot. This is a major decision, and it needs to be treated as such. Education, waiting periods, etc should be mandatory.

Statistics show the vast majority of abortions are for convenience only......in the 90% range had abortions as a form of birth control. And then the difference between the 'health' (read: mental health whatever that may entail) and 'life' of the mother. The 'health' argument is code word for abortion on demand because it may upset you to give birth. |
