| 15. Wanna reduce abortions? I'll tell you how to reduce abortions: |
|
Provide good education on preventing pregnancy. Make sure contraceptives are cheap and readily available. Raise the minimum wage. Provide universal health care. Provide subsidized child care at schools and in the community.
Do that, and I'd bet good money that abortions would drop 80, 90%. Desperate women terminate their pregnancies: reduce desperation, and they won't need to.
In the meantime, how about changing the terminology we use? Every time they refer to our side as "pro-abortion," we refer to them as "compulsory pregnancy." How popular will they be, as the Compulsory Pregnancy party?
