Abortion

[andrewducker]

I say that I'm pro-choice, but the truth is that I'm actually anti-abortion. Rather, I'm pro-making sure that women have the resources and education available so that there's no need for abortions save those performed for medical reasons. The best way to stop abortions is to stop the need for abortions -- not with abstinence education that tells girls they're naughty for getting knocked up but doesn't tell them how to prevent it, but with realistic sex education and more resources for young women who find themselves pregnant and unable to afford prenatal care and postnatal expenses of raising a child

Which pretty much sums up how I feel.

I also felt this, but it raises the question of how they survive outside the womb? With the help of the parents? With the help of intensive care in a baby unit? When they can survive on a hill outside Rome for one night?

It's still arbitrary and I say this from the point of view of a person who doesn't like it being arbitrary.
