Most women who have abortions are young, poor, unmarried, and nonwhite.
They are the ones who will suffer most if we make abortion illegal again.
I hate abortion but I don’t believe in making everything that’s immoral illegal. That sort of approach is unrealistic and cruel. It’s also punitive and vindictive.
It’s why prohibition turned into such a disaster even though its proponents felt they were protecting women and children from abusive and negligent men who drank too much. The problem wasn’t alcohol, it was people’s attitude toward it.
I don’t what the answer the answer to abortion is but I’m old enough to know that outlawing it again WILL NOT WORK. There were as many abortions before Roe v Wade as after, only after 1973 they were legal and the many competent physicians who performed them for countless women were no longer in danger of prosecution.
Why aren’t the incompetent doctors who perform (and botch) legal abortions today being prosecuted?
Why get rid of just one? Why not kill two of them? Or three?
Why not leave all the little ones alive, and kill that MIA dad? Or would that be wrong?
I do think these women need help. Does anybody realize there are at least 4X as many Pregnancy Aid centers in the USA, as there are abortion clinics?
There are 38 Pregnancy Resource Centers in Louisiana alone.
These lifesaving centers provide services absolutely free of charge to all clients. Their philosophy is "Love Them Both" (mother and child). They need more publicity --- and a lot more support.
Do you have a source for your assertion that abortions are no more common now than before Roe v Wade?
