I understand what you were trying to say Dixie and one of your posts up there, I agree with in most part...except the part of making them illegal and I have given my reasons on this...but to reduce them should be a goal of both sides, as Clinton said, legal but rare.

I don't want any girl to have to go through having an abortion, it is humiliating.
In an ideal world there would be NO abortion....unfortunately we don't live in an ideal world.
I don't agree with the left that this is just a glob of cells that are being discarded, it is an unborn child, a future human being with its own individual identity. The sooner we all can agree on that one thing, the better...because this "truth will set us free" and eventually reduce abortions.
There are steps I personally believe, if taken, would reduce the abortions taking place, which I have mentioned in this thread and the other abortion thread.... one being, limiting abortions to the embryo stage, no later than 10 weeks, second, closing the abortion clinics where you are drawn in like cattle going to slaughter...it should be between you and your doctor with one on one counciling with YOUR DOCTOR, not some clerical hired to hand you a pamphlet of your choices, third, more education on birth control and ABSTINENCE for boys and girls, fourth-have the mother to be before aborting, be shown their sonogram....fifth....make boys take birth control pills too....the male contraceptive is available and out there FDA approved, also....sixth-making the mothers to be feel comfortable in their pregnancy and not made to feel like they are wearing the scarlett letter if they CHOOSE to have their babies out of wedlock, 7th....make MEN feel like shit for dicking these women and not being held accountable in any way...
I would love to say that if we just followed what the Bible teaches about premarital sex being fornication would solve all of our problems, but the world is filled with so many MALE hypocrites in the Christian faith who believe that they can ignore this command from God as long as they "take precautions" not to get the woman pregnant....well, we can see how well THAT has done...now can't we? And yes I know the woman has responsibility in this as well, but Hells Bells...the girls have already gotten the short end of the stick with being labeled whores while the men keep their label of being a STUD....
