Ladies! Get your abortions now, while there's still time!

The UK doesn't welcome immigrants but health tourists are encouraged if they can pay.

See London (and get an abortion). Visit Stratford (and buy a year's supply of contraceptive pills).

Follow the Dickens trail (and have a vascetomy).

Women have always been able to get abortions.

The rich ones fly to places where they can have them performed.

And the poor ones find what ever they can. With the attendant consequences.

But it's such a good way to keep the number of poor in check, don't ya think?

(This last line was sarcastic. No need to get out the flamethrowers people.)
 
Roe v. Wade overturned a law permitting abortions only when the life of the mother was at stake.

At worst, I can see that approach re-appearing.

Close to this position is the Reagan one:
Exception for life of mom, rape, and incest. I think this might 'sell' to a near majority at large, and a new Bush majority on the SC.

Otherwise, get your ticket for Toronto or London (if you're in the East).

Tough times ahead.

Considered joining the choir at your local Baptist church to sing them blues away???

Now being a man I seldom feel totally right in weighting in on this but men have babies too so I have to make a statement.

I am pro choice but also pro-life.

How can this be? Simple. The right should be available but seldom used. Birth control and family planning should be in place. Having a child is a basic human right but like all decisions it should not be taken lightly. Abortion is not birthcontrol.

In the case of rape though it is taking revenge on a innocent kid. Though I can completely understand a woman not wanting to have a rapist's child and should get the morning after pill. Incest abortion is really the only option. Also of coarse when the mother's health is in jeopardy the option to save the wife should be used.


In the end though in my mind it is a child not a choice. You are deciding to kill a baby because it is incovient at the time and not a blessing it should be...hell why not make a law that says if you don't want the kid you have up to two weeks after is it born to kill it.

In ancient times many cultures dealt with unwanted children. They would leave babies in spots to die in the cold of night and let nature run its coarse. Couples wanting a child would often search the area and "adopt" the child in need.

I can't tell people what to do and it is not a topic that is easily discussed. This is my option though. Don't like that is fine. Frankly one of the things I like about this country is on a street somewhere an abortion clinic is across from a church. Both have the right to be there and both should be as far as I am concern.

Screw Reagan. The failure of birth control is just as valid a reason as rape for choosing not to bring an unwanted child into the world.

Being too irresponsible to use birth control is a valid reason to keep one's DNA to oneself.

Too many men seem to miss the point of Roe vs. Wade: what happens inside my body is my business. No matter whose "fault" it is if I'm pregnant, nobody has the right to condemn me to assume the health risks, the social consequences, the pain and risk of labor, the reduced capacity to work if my health begins to fail, not to mention the lifelong trauma of wondering whether my child was given to a decent home. My fertilized ovum can't offer an opinion because it has no thoughts or feelings.

Most of all, it's unspeakably offensive for women to contemplate being forced to incubate and deliver babies against our will.

I know, we've followed the pro-life argument to its logical conclusion in the AH before. To be fair to poor women, criminal laws against abortion would have to be equally enforced. The only way to do that would be to deny pregnant women the right to leave the country.

That's another part of "The Handmaid's Tale" that used to seem preposterous.
