I am sure that Republicans would like to believe that "abortion" has brought people over to their side. I find that very hard to believe. While I have never had
and abortion, nor do I ever plan on having one, I believe I should have that option. Although, I do think a few might be willing to support the end of partial birth abortion (I know I would).

As another poster mentioned I also think that trying ban contraceptives is absurd. How can you expect people to just keep having children they can't afford?? If you truly want to be able to stop abortion, then you should strongly support contraceptives, because that is the only way abortions are going to be prevented. And saying that people should stop having sex (inside or outside of marriage) is laughable and unrealistic.

OTOH, dion, your belief that .....

"If you truly want to be able to stop abortion, then you should strongly support contraceptives, because that is the only way abortions are going to be prevented.

....is the argument that PP has dishonestly used for decades.

No one can credibly argue that contraceptives aren't available to anyone who wants them. This availability hasn't slowed abortion, it has caused an INCREASE. Why? Contraceptives aren't 100% effective, and people get careless. Not to mention the obscene proliferation of STDs as a result of sexual promiscuity.

I'm not advocating banning contraceptives. But I am suggesting that mass distribution of them to teens and other non-married people is incredibly irresponsible.

While I have never had and(sic) abortion hired a serial killer, nor do I ever plan on having one, I believe I should have that option (to hire a serial killer). Although, I do think a few might be willing to support the end of partial birth abortion (I know I would).

And I am sure that the Republican majority has been bolstered by the outcry against abortion and the judicial highhandedness that overturned State laws against abortion.

Why would you ban partial birth abortion?
