"make the number of women <B>seeking abortion</B> rare": something that can't be done by government fiat (despite what the anti-choicers may want).<br /><br />I want abortion to be rare . . . but ONLY for the sake of the woman whose uterus would be traumatized (by ANY kind of content therein). She's the only "person" directly involved.<br /><br />The idea that a fetus is a "person" is a religious claim that I object to, just as much as FredP objects to every religious claim (it's just that fetus-fetishism affects me in a way that, say, an Episcopal eucharist will NEVER affect him).JCFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238382886103256219.post-28237051875552310902009-05-20T14:04:35.024-07:002009-05-20T14:04:35.024-07:00Both sex ed and abortion.

However, I would like to see the freely available contraception, education etc. that she mentions. That would be a great start from where the Conservatives seem to want to have us now. Unfortunately, abortion has to always be with us. I have worked with children and families long enough to know there are times when an abortion is the lesser evil. Adoption is nice, but not in a family with other children. The message to the other children is--"are Daddy and Mommy going to give me away too if I'm bad". Another example: you have a 12 year old pregnant. The body is not ready for a full term pregnancy. The real question is who decides and how that decision is made.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08344115621163474891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238382886103256219.post-48082575256101036482009-05-17T21:47:00.000-07:002009-05-17T21:47:00.000-07:00Sorry--but control over my body is NOT up for "vig...Sorry--but control over my body is NOT up for "vigorous debate." You can be as vigorous--or even as polite--as you want to be, but I will never concede that politicians (or other people who don't know me or live my life) have a right to control the most intimate parts of me.<br /><br />I believe in making abortion rare--through comprehensive sex education, empowering women to refuse sex, freely available contraceptives, and better ways of handling adoption. We can talk about those. But the minute you start talking about giving the government control over my uterus is when I stop talking. The answer is "Not now. Not ever."<br /><br />Doxy<br /><br />P.S.
