That crossed my mind too, the old 'backroom abortion" argument for pro-choice. But... it's true.Skyburning said:Oh, I wanted to add that this is one reason I am pro-choice. If we don't give people the option to make this choice safely, we are going to start seeing young girls suffer infections, etc trying to abort at home.
I think that there are way too many underlying factors about abortion and why people get them to use this statement so loosely.Xero said:Well... (being pro-life) they deserve to get an infection or have medical problems if they're that desperate to kill a baby they conceived because they HAD to have sex.
Please notice that I actually did not use the term loosely. I clearly marked in my statement that I was talking about a normal situation, not rape or life threatening (and just because I didn't mention any other possible situation didn't mean I wasn't thinking about it). I meant just an average, I can't have a baby right now I can only have sex, abortion. I made it clear what I meant. I know there are situations in which abortion makes a lot more sense sometimes. I am pro-life but I do believe there are more understandable situations than others. And I said that.Xero said:But that's just how I feel...not necessarily logic or anything. Maybe if the case was rape or life threatening, but besides that it's not fair when you made the choice to have sex.
I am not arguing for or against the illegalization debate, but "for the uneducated" is not the way to go either.Skyburning said:Kaytee I'm sure your right but for the uneducated I think its important it not be made illegal.
First of all I think abortion should only be a branch covered by health insurance companies strictly for the situation of RAPE. As far as little teenage girls getting pregnant, that is a parental Issue. Its fine now days for parents to let their 13 year old son or daughter to just go over to their houses and not think twice about It. So parents dont care about their kids enough to monitor them (where their going ect.) but their gonna foot the bill when its time for a abortion. Not in our world! If you consider your life ruined because of a baby then your gonna have a pretty miserable life. You spread em you get em.Skyburning said:Oh, I wanted to add that this is one reason I am pro-choice.

There are a lot of rules society has to protect us from ourselves, actually but that's another thread altogether, lol.Would that hold up for other areas as well? For example should we all not be allowed to own pets because the uneducated will abuse them? Should we not be able to buy tylonal over the counter because the uneducated might over dose on it?
again not debating the abortion thing, more of debating the reasoning on why it should not be I guess lol
