(yup if you are not insured or don't know the connections to get BC at reduced prices or free, that is how much they cost).

I agree. Although I do believe abstinence is the best route, I know people will have sex and therefore need to be educated in ways to protect themselves. I also agree that sterilization should be available for those that do not want children at all.
As I said - I'm a birthcontrol/condom baby. My mother used both, and hello here I am.
I don't think that this is an issue that will ever be cut and dry, nor do I think that abortion will ever be made illegal. I will be satisfied when women are educated about the fact that it isn't their only option, and when they understand every possible option. (Some are, some aren't.)
I believe that the psychotic protestors are on the WAY wrong path. The way that I live my belief that abortion is wrong is to tell others of my experiences, I only go to doctors that do not perform abortions, (yes I ask) and I volunteer at the crisis pregnancy center. If a woman has gone through counseling and still wants to have an abortion, I go with her and hold her hand so at least she isn't alone, and to be there for her if she changes her mind.
