I don't think it's two seperate issues at all...many abortions are started with pre-marial sex. Maybe 95%. That's a huge problem. So if you're really sincere about stopping abortions...start with the real problem...attitudes about sex ....start with parents or societies duty to stop slutty free sex behavior and self-respect. Get rid of R rated crap on cable. I think it's all lost and too late though...so I guess we have to live with the consequences of what WE let happen to the kids....lack of respect for themselves, animals, or others. Otherwise your talking to a wall and wasting your breath about abortion...your starting at the end instead of the beginning.

Your logic is hard to follow. It reminds me of those who claim that abortion is justified in cases of rape or incest. They're wrong. Killing the unborn is itself the issue; how the child's life began is immaterial.

Sun, while I agree re: your attitudes about pre-marital sex being the source of most abortions, and moreover, that it is a fundamentally better approach to tackle the source of a problem this heinous rather than just the results, you've got a Constitution glaring at you over in the corner.

I feel that fetuses (Unborn-Americans) are deserving of equal protection under the law, just like you and I. "Getting rid of R-rated crap on cable" would require repealing the first amendment, which would be substantially more difficult an undertaking than overturning Roe v. Wade, not to mention that I sort of like that amendment just fine the way it is.
