Sometimes I wonder if the right approach has been taken by either side. Personally, I do NOT think abortion should be banned. I would like to see unnecessary abortions greatly reduced in number, but I think banning it could produce horrible consequences.
I think some of the liberals have been goaded into the pro-life/pro-abortion agruement. I dont want to put words in anybodies mouth, but my guess is that they are not pro abortion in the literal sense, but are for the oprtion being there. There may be a few literal pro abortion people out there, but I doubt there are many.
What I do not like is the use of abortion as primary birth control. Now, it would be ridiculous to pass a law based on that, no doubt about it. I think the best way to get that taken care of is through the educational system- AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. Get them to value what life represents, but knowledgable enough to understand there are some exceptions....and I think most of you know what types of exceptions I mean.
Laws do not need to be passed for everything- sometimes ingraining youth with right and wrong can be more powerful than a law, while leaving the opening for the necessary cases.
This could leave a proverbial loophole for someone to take advantage of, but its high time to eliminate the type of people who use those loopholes.
