I think this is a great way to look at ...I love it. I think this is a great way to look at a very complex topic. One thing we oversee when we discuss this is that the majority of abortions are done on middle-aged white middle-class women. That demographic would require a different solution, since it seems like they're getting surprise pregnancies when they thought they were already done having kids, or that they got pregnant on birth control, etc. They like to keep their dignity intact and keep their pregnancy a secret... so what solution for them? Maybe changing society to be more accepting of older women, professional women, having babies, like you said? Or making adoption easy? Or sterilization cheaper? We'll have to keep thinking. It would be wonderful to have abortion legal and availible, and never used.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04752629742454240225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989586293877971034.post-43713563592660552012017-01-28T12:42:29.220-06:002017-01-28T12:42:29.220-06:00I'm glad you found it.

It is the first time anyone has put into words the feelings and frustrations of my heart as I was just lamenting that I hate the labels of abortion because neither explain my beliefs. Thank you!
