i agree with you 100% that there are ways to get around abortion. But the reality is, people just don't know any better and they figure legalizing abortion is easier than educating the masses.
I think the only way to stop people fron thinking abortion is ok is through education and programs directed towards teaching teens and young adults about abstinance and birth control methods. also, with the rape/incest comment, i think that people who choose abortion just don't really have many options thrown their way. They just get irrational and they are so ashamed of the situation that they feel they have no other choice.

i dunno, that's a rant. but i agree with you. :)

Being pro-choice isn't just about abortion for me, but a lifestyle in which decisions about my life are made ultimately by me.
