Of course. Perhaps there is one thing we could agree on. I won't assume, because some people still wouldn't agree with this, but I truly believe that if we could make sure that all women and men were knowledgeable about contraceptives, had access to them, and were
scared enough to use them, we would all be comforted knowing that we were reducing the need/desire for abortions. Many European countries have good access to contraceptives and comprehensive programs that educate young men and women on the use of them and what has been found in study after study is that they have less unintended pregnancies, less abortions AND, as an added bonus, and contrary to what may seem intuitive, the average teen in those European countries wait LONGER before they have their first sexual encounter than the average American teen. I think those are all things to celebrate, and I wish we could see that happen here in America.
