I Am Sick of People Saying Abortion Is Murder

if they don't think the new world order in general is murder.

I am also sick of people acting like even more unwanted children belong here than we already have now.

Less abortion equals MORE UNWANTED CHILDREN. Take it out on the kids???

Hypocrisy check time.

As someone who is pro life, I'll provide my $0.02.

As much as I detest the idea, abortion should remain legal and safe. Making it illegal simply drives people perusing the same objective unsafely. Debating over whether abortion is or isn't murder never gets us anywhere.

I think there are valid reasons for abortion. Pregnancies due to rape or incest. Pregnancies putting the mother's life at risk. Situations in which the baby won't survive.

But let's also talk about the elephant in the room. Most abortions occur to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. And the vast majority of unwanted pregnancies occur because no birth control was used, or the birth control wasn't used properly.

Human behavior is predictable.
People will have sex. Hell, I think people should have all kinds of sex. Including the sorts that don't lead to pregnancy. I firmly believe the number of abortions could be reduced greatly if people were a little more responsible with birth control. Lots of birth control options out there. Availability is not an issue. Condoms are free at many clinics.
I'd get behind making the morning after pill free if it would prevent having to rip the fetus apart, limb by limb, weeks later.

It would require little to no change to any existing laws. Just people changing their behavior. It won't eliminate abortions, but it could cut down on them dramatically.

I say our approach to marriage children and personal responsibility comes from what society in general does to us when we are younger. If it encourages brutality and callousness and "me-only" the children will not be valued and the women will be progressively disempowered so that MORE unwanted children will be born...

That is pretty much the way it is now, and lots of impotent talk about birth control and enraged hysteria about whose children are MORE wanted.
