The human toll behind the numbers is devastating. Children raised without two parents face much higher odds in every facet of life. It’s as if they are forced to swim with one hand tied behind their backs. Some succeed, most don’t.

People need to be informed, by an elected official, community leader, etc., that personal choices have huge consequences.

And then people cry about women who choose abortion.

They somehow figured it out 60 years ago. The solution is obvious.

And contraceptives

Coat hangars?

And contraceptives

That's the same canard Stephanopoulos used when running interference for the Democrats in the debates to distract from their abortion-on-demand for the full nine months of pregnancy.


Coat hangers?

Making whatever sacrifice necessary to see to it that pregnancies result in a child being raised in a good two parent home.

Of course it is obvious:
Early sex education and unrestricted access to birth control.

And abortion, as a fail-safe for when young girls get incested and raped, and to spare society the huge cost of raising defective babies.


Actually, lots of people are now writing that the huge dip in crime exactly paralleled the huge increase in abortion when it became legal: women aborted the very fetuses that would have committed the most crime when they became teenagers.

So it does work, on many levels.

If a rape/incest exception would make it politically possible to ban all other abortions, it would be a price worth paying.

More extensive sex education and better access to birth control equals fewer unplanned pregnancies. Which leads to fewer abortions.

Why does it need to be an elected official or community leader? Why cant we do it?

Or simply encouraging people to keep the commandments of God. Solves everything.

You know what comes next?

If the SC decides to favor homosexuals as to marriage, next comes marriages among family members thus far outlawed. Men will be able to marry multiple women or vice versa.

The dip in crime is in the negro community and it is really true that abortions by negro women accounted for the drop in crime. (see Freakeconomics for proof)

Yeah, that's going to help a lot. :rolleyes:

Personal responsibility would fix 95% of these issues. Now people think everyone should equally share the failures of others.

They already have unrestricted access. What you REALLY mean to say is for someone to PAY for THEIR responsibilities. They can easily get birth control with a dollar and a dream, at conveniences stores and gas stations all over America. If you can't afford a dollar for a condom, then you sure as fuck can't afford to take a chance on having children or not.

We just did but do your/my words carry some weight where it matters?

[fj1200]

Of course it is obvious:
Early sex education and unrestricted access to birth control.

And do you think that outweighs community acceptance of the consequences and lack of information about how their behavior now affects their life outcomes?
