Znu - Mostly that some of the arguments in favour of abortion on demand are still couched in anarchoristic views surrounding birth control.

Posted by Name Withheld By Request (aka BlueKopo) Dec 22 '08, 16:14

My big thing is that there is no way to read the number of abortions (especially repeat procedures) as "accidents" or "mistakes" alone. Too many instances of "Abortion as birth control" are taking place and that doesn't feel right to me. (Canada runs about 30 abortions per every 100 live births.)

I don't imagine I'll ever go fully "pro-life" and want to ban abortion, but with the easy access to other preventative birth controls, I would absolutely like to see the number of procedures and the percentage of aborted pregnancies come down quite a bit.

Responses:

I can sympathize with that view, I just don't see why you're drawing the connection between that and the availability of Plan B. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 16:16 4
- Because if you can get Plan B after a mistake, why would a woman wait to get an abortion? - Redmond home from work, bad weather Dec 22, 16:18 3
  - ah, that makes more sense now...thanks. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 16:21 2
    - Oh sorry. Didn't realize that wasn't clear in either of what I wrote. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 16:22 1
      - For some reason I read it as you thinking that casual attitudes towards Plan B would lead to more casual attitudes toward abortion. - znufrii Dec 22, 16:25
