Re: RE: South Dakota law bans nearly all abortions
I'm not saying i'm agains't abortion, but you are failing to look at the other options. Why don't we as a society just practice more responsibility. That would almost completely solve the whole problem of abortion. Yeah, i know it will never happen. But education might help reduce the amount of unwanted pregnency.
RecklessTim said:For those of you who are against abortion, here are some interesting facts to consider.
1. There are 1,370,000 abortions in the US each year
2. There are 51,000 people that adopt a child (relations & marriage not included)
3. There are 100,000,000 households in the US
If abortion was made illegal in the US today, within 5 years we would have to house over 6 million unwanted children. Who will take care of these children? Who will support them and care for them?
Why is it that I will never see anyone say "I am against abortion and I think it should be illegal in all but the most extreme cases... but this is how I think we can help those women that feel that it is the best choice for them"?
I don't think abortion should be illegal, we don't have the resources to deal with the population explosion that will come after. And this doesn't even account for all the back-alley deaths that will come with it.
I guess it would be the same as making petroleum products illegal to own or use without first preparing how we will deal without it....
