And most of them that I have talked to about it willingly miss the 2nd
opportunity to stop an abortion.

Helping the mother decide to have the baby, even if they don't raise the
baby.

Healthcare for pregnant women.
Adoption options
Young mother and infant support

Many of the same people who decry abortion also decry the government wasting
money on the three items above.

I can understand a moral objection to the above, and the desire to hold out
for personal responsibility as the only option, but that plan isn't working
out so well.

Time to listen to the Marines. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

Pro-abortion: safe, legal and rare.
Anti-abortion: illegal and rare.

It seems like the two side SHOULD have a lot to agree on. Everyone should be
working towards the rare part.
