1. Which is why they keep trying to ban abortion instead

They want breeders, barefoot and pregnant like Gawd intended.

2. Let's not forget access to safe and reasonably priced child care. nt

3. Why assume we want to prevent abortion?

That is a harmful assumption. Abortion should be considered a routine, safe, conventional treatment with no more baggage than getting a filling.

5. I like what President Clinton said about it:

Let's keep abortion safe, legal and rare.

I agree with what you've said, but we are a very long way from that ideal situation. In the meantime, let's keep the need for abortions at a minimum by using the points made in the original post.

6. I respectfully but very seriously disagree with you

I want it to be safe and easy to obtain when necessary, but it ends a life and I don't want to live in a world where we start treating unwanted fetuses as dental cavities.

I feel that when we treat pregnancy like a virus, we play into the right wing's hands, because we're saying, sure if it were a "life" it'd be wrong, but it's "not life," so it's okay. Who says we don't have the right, ultimately, to decide to end that life in favor of the mother? But let's not pretend this is just a cluster of cells. Either all life is sacred, or it's meaningless.

It's all sacred, and sometimes we have to make hard choices.
