Posted by blood roses at 2:49pm Oct 17 '07I need to dig up an article I found on pro-lifers who found themselves faced with an unwanted pregnancy and ended up choosing abortion. Some of them changed their minds as a result of the experience, others did not. One actually called the person preforming the abortion a murderer.
But anyway, of course people should be protecting themselves using birth control. But the religious right is trying to make it more difficult for them to do so. And that shows up in the abortion rate. In countries that have comprehensive sex education, where birth control is easily accessible and the use of it is encouraged, where there isn't so much of a social stigma on sex, less women have abortions.
So the question is... what do these organisations care more about? Actually saving fetuses, or making sure their moral values are enshrined in law?
