Oh ...you're mincing terms. Yes, from the perspective of expecting parents...a child was what they were expecting...yes?

Expanding upon personal perspective is always good policy...especially so when the subject is abortion. You disagree jester?

I do not see how increasing abortions would increase those other things.
And I do not see (from an abortion-is-not-murder perspective) how an increase in abortions is any more disastrous than an increase in birth control.

I don't know what you mean by expanding on personal perspective.
It would simply compound an already disasterous situation?
Seems an all too oft conservative condition. :chuckle:
Expanding upon..
Simply put: walk a mile in another's shoes.

So is abortion, in and of itself, bad?

My mistake - I thought you were referring to law when you said it would be good policy.
In that context, it didn't seem to make sense.
Glassjester, of course I want to prevent as many abortions as possible in America .All pro-choicers do .
We're not pro-choice because we like abortion and want them to happen, and no pro-choicer wants the abortion rate in America to increase . We're pro-choice because we're realistic enough to realize that making abortion illegal again would be disastrously counterproductive and only INCREASE the abortion rate enormously and cause the deaths of an enormous number of poor women .
Trying to stop abortion by making it illegal is like trying to stop a forest fire by pouring gasoline on it .

Well, I've no knowledge of any underground, back-ally procedure the pedophile might desperately seek for curative purpose.

you don't think pedophiles avail themselves of underground back-alley opportunities to molest children?
Does that cure their ailment?! :think:

You haven't quite addressed the question, Horn.
Why do you want to decrease abortion?
glassjester

Alright. In which case an increase in abortion cannot be, in and of itself, bad.
I wonder if Horn agrees - which is why I asked him to begin with.
I supppose. Though would not someone seeking abortion not prefer a legal and safe procedure from a professional to some back-ally hack?

Would not a pedophile wish that pedophilia was legal and safe?
Therapy to help with their pedo issues....are generally legal and available...after all.
