personally, i'm pro-choice, but i also know better than to get myself in a position than have an unwanted pregnancy. planned parenthood also takes this position, which is why they hand for like 500 million condoms everytime you visit and try to put you on birth control, but they turn someone away because they don't think about consequences. people should be better educated in birth control and teenagers should have easy access to condoms (like given out in school) b/c hey, kids are kids and they are going to have sex anyway. but unfortunately, most pro-lifers think abstinence is the only way, so instead of compromising to dramatically lower abortion rates, they just sit and pray in front of abortion clinics thinking it will work.
The problem is everyone wants it their way...there is no compromise. Those that support abortion are all for a women's right to choose. But look what happens when the women wants to choose to have the baby. These same people do not want to make it a crime to kill a wanted, growing baby in the womb. Why not protect that right to choose to have the baby as well as the right to choose not to?
Why not give other options than abortion? What does Planned Parenthood do for options other than abortion? Do they help with adoptions? Do they provide orphanage services for those that do not want the child but do not want an abortion? Planned Parenthood should change their name to reflect what they do. Unwanted Pregnancy sounds like a good fit to me.
