I can understand the point of view of those who do not believe in abortion. It’s more difficult for me to understand the point of view of those who feel they have some say over others’ beliefs. NO ONE is pro-abortion, but some of us believe that women have the right to make decisions about their own bodies and future.

But if you truly want to “save lives”, wouldn’t you educate young people about how to avoid unwanted pregnancy? (And no, teaching kids how not to get knocked up is absolutely not “teaching them to have sex ”.) Wouldn’t you make contraception cheap and easily available? Study after study after study has proven that those two factors alone dramatically reduce abortion rates.

When shit like this (and ohhhhh so much more – medically unnecessary ultrasounds mandated by non-physicians?!? ) gets introduced/passed, then I have no choice but to conclude that “saving lives” is bullshit, that women are not considered equal, that there’s a reason that rape is still rampant in this country, and that this society needs a serious shake-up.

Where’s the logic? Why is this still happening?
