The problem with many of these is that they are clearly and transparently designed simply to make abortion *harder* to get so people will have no choice but to have the baby. Or so only rich people can have access to them. There is no sense of compassion for the unfortunate woman who has found herself in that position. > The central motivating ideal of pro-life conservatives is precisely that > abortion can made rare! Abortion will never be rare until there are no unwanted pregnancies. That's precisely what the pro-life conservatives seem to consistently miss. It doesn't matter if it is outlawed. > Your message appears to make a fine distinction between "defending all > abortions" vs. "defending abortion."

I'm not sure why this is so difficult to understand. Many people have moral qualms about abortion and serious doubts about whether or not they would have one themselves but see absolutely nothing wrong with defending the right of *others* to do so if they need to. - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
