Most abortion foes don't support actions that would seriously diminish abortions (low-cost or free birth control and birth control education for all women); moreover, they've shown time and again that the health and life of the woman is not their majorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168458041332941999.post-90444535857911763102007-06-11T17:45:00.000-04:002007-06-11T17:45:00.000-04:00Thanks for this interesting essay.

The two sides in the abortion debate are concerned about two different things: the pro-life side is concerned about protecting the lives of the unborn, the pro-choice side is concerned about maintaining women's legal right to choose abortion.

That's when I realised that the movement really was about sexual morality and punishing women for having sex. Nobody who opposes a vaccine that can save thousands of lives per year has the right to call themselves "pro-life".<BR/><BR/>That being said, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168458041332941999.post-42678578798894970392007-06-10T00:54:00.000-04:002007-06-10T00:54:00.000-04:00Yes to your entire post!

It's effort to keep it going and feedback is important.<BR/><BR/>So interestingly enough, sometimes I find the anti-abortion side can be more consistant than certain types of so-called pro-choice people. There are certain anti-abortion (let's call them that rather than pro-life) who are at least consistant about the idea "NO ABORTIONS FOR ANYONE."<BR/><BR/>NewsCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049304894327723728noreply@blogger.com
