I never said that I was "for" abortion - only that I'm pro-*choice*. When women don't have the protection or education necessary to *prevent* pregnancy, then they ought to have the *right,* the *choice* to terminate the pregnancy. And I believe that I said before that abortion is a very difficult situation for women to negotiate. No one goes out and gets pregnant just because she WANTS to have an abortion. A woman makes this decision for a good reason, usually: she can't take care of a child and there are few laws that ensure the child adequate care in this society OR the pregnancy threatens her and/or the developing fetus' life. Whether or not abortion is legal will NOT keep a woman from having an abortion. Making abortion legal does allow for pregnant women who choose to have it to receive medical care of this nature in a more sanitary environment. I've said this before, too: if you truly want to reduce the number of abortions in this country or others to a bare minimum, it can ONLY be done through social reforms that ensure women free birth control, education about their bodies, excellent medical care, and child care (for the impoverished), as well as giving rape victims more legal clout. Your outlook would be different if men were the ones getting pregnant, I'm sure.... Look, I'm not picking a fight with you - I didn't from the beginning. I believe that you were the one who dragged me into your arguments, beginning with your depiction of the people on this forum. That's fine. I'm not angry with you, and, in fact, my last statement to you was rather supportive of you. Go ahead and answer this, but I'm not going to respond to you unless you have something constructive and intelligent to say. --------------------- |
