HHS Moves to Define Contraception as Abortion
Cam:
I have absolutely no problems with abortion. At the same time, I don't have a problem with restricting the late term abortions. It seems like six to seven months should be enough time to make up your mind. As far as the abortions infringing on the right of a child to exist, well, I consider that child a possibility. It's like the old saying, "Don't count your eggs until they pop out and you are legally responsible for them for eighteen years."
If you dislike abortions, the best thing you can do is to help provide increased sex education and access to birth control. 11% of sexually active women don't use contraception and from this 11% comes 50% of the nation's abortions.
So, let's get people using as many birth control pills, condoms, and diaphragms as possible. If we can get that 11% using birth control, then, abortions should drop drastically. Then, every one is happier (though the far right will still condemn people for boinking out side of marriage).
Also, I would like to point out that the whole argument about last trimester abortions is mainly semantics. 98.9% of abortions in 2004 were performed with in 20 weeks on the pregnancy.
