greek girlie and Hootie, I am with you.
Seeking immediate medical attention can prevent a pregnancy that would end in an abortion.
In college I took a sex education course and Dr. McCarey said that the number of people seeking an abortion per year was comprised of over 50% second time operations. Half had already had an abortion at one time. It may have changed as this was in the 70's.
I heard an interesting news item last night. A child can now sue if her mother was in a car accident that leads to a disability (negligence) when she was pregnant. Yet, it's OK if the mother wants to rip the child apart in the later stages of pregnancy. I guess a dead baby can't bring charges.
In the case of incest, the mother's life, rape, I am really torn. The Catholic church believed it was important to save the child first, but what if there are 4 or 5 other little ones at home? Incest usually isn't reported in time to use the morning after pill. On these few points, I say it is between you and your God.
However, abortion as a means of birth control...because somebody screwed up...is so terribly wrong (in my heart and mind) that it DOES affect my political sense. Everyone says "What about the mother's right to choose, it's her body?" Well what about the BABY's choice?
