Firstly, unwanted pregnancy is NOT the sole cause for abortion. There are many planed and desired pregnancies that end in abortion due to foetal problems, genetic disease, and some cases where having a baby would kill the mother so abortion is used to save the life of the mother. Secondly, some unwanted pregnancies are the result of rape, regulating sex would not have any effect on these. > This would be similar to, say, morphine.

Poor example, morphine is perfectly legal if it is obtained on prescription, it is a controlled drug but not in it's self an illegal one, only it's use and sale etc... are illegal. -- Jay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:177300 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
