Re: Test Your Knowledge on Roe v Wade (Abortion)
I think the Left has totally gotten it wrong in most cases - In this case, they think it's a woman's rights issue - It IS a matter of privacy, but I think that's secondary to the big issue.
Every abortion is a failure - a failure to use contraception, a failure to have the necessary social infrastructure in place to support unwed mothers who keep their babies, a failure to educate teenagers on the right way to have sex (not just that abstainance bullshit) -
It is by far the worst form of birth control that should only be used in certain circumstances, and I believe it should happen before brain waves develop in the fetus - I don't like late trimester abortions at all - and in most cases, it is the worst and last choice of a number of choices that people have, including contraception, adoption, adaptation, etc, etc.
I'd like to see it used only in cases of rape, incest, and severe deformity - but as long as the Religious and Political right gloss over and don't address the failures I've mentioned above (some of which they're responsible for) then I don't see how I could possibly justify banning it when what it will do is force women back into an unsafe situation in which our society will neither support nor care if she choses to raise the child.
