I stomped a liberal friend's argument down not too long ago - she was defending abortion - saying there should be no unwanted babies born in this world. I pointed out to her that even with the easy access to abortions that women have these days - everyday you hear about horrible things that some parents do to their "unwanted babies", that it hadn't seemed to help that problem at all.
She was speechless, she had no defense for a long moment & finally she started babbling that, "well, that's where we need to better educate these women".
Abortion is a failure on all fronts.
Lack of education cannot be used as an excuse for anything anymore in America. There are clinics everywhere, crisis pregancy centers everywhere, sex ed info in every school, FREE public health departments in every city, etc.
The easier it becomes to get rid of your mistakes, the less thought one puts into making those mistakes. Period.
