I am pro-choice, but I want to reduce the number of abortions, so I want to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies, so I want to make birth control more widely available and affordable, so I support Planned Parenthood's efforts to do exactly that. I occasionally donate a (very) little money, but more often I buy condoms, take them to their health centers and donate them.

Let's treat the problem, not the symptom.

What do pro-life people do to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies?

@dlaz0109 they aren't people, not until born and viable on their own. As for laws in other nations- that is not the law we have here. Here, a fetus is not a human person.

The supreme court last year ratcheted up requirements for informed consent with the majority opinion writing, "Respect for human life finds an ultimate expression in the bond of love the mother has for her child." The tide is turning. More and more are coming to understand that these babies are alive and have certain inalienable rights - especially the fundamental right to life. ( these stats were taken from World magazine Januarry 29,2011 edition.)

Even on MTV's "16 & Pregnant" and 16 year old pregnant motherm, who was considering an abortion, lashed out at her boyfriend who called the baby in her womb, "a thing." She responded, "This can turn out like that." (pointing to her baby sitting next to them). "Nothing but a bunch of cells can be her." The University Hospital in Wisconsin no longer performs abortions because so many of the medical staff refuse to participate.

The medical research in European and American medical journals are now conclusively reporting that there is a heightened risk of preterm birth after an abortion, a heightened risk of drug and alcohol abuse, a heightened instance of suicide and psychiatric admission, and a heightened risk of violent assualt after abortion. Since 1992 the abortion rate has dropped 25%.

Roe v Wade is 37 years old this month. Just 15 years ago 56% of our country was pro-abortion and 33% were pro-life. Now, in 2011 the majority of people in our country are pro-life. More than a 17% shift in understanding. In 35 states there are fetal homocide laws that treat the unborn child as a human being. In 25 of those states (that's half of our country) the child is considered a human being at conception. Those laws didn't exist before Roe v Wade.

@Sueezee1

why are you so angry and why do you think calling names is "having an intelligent" conversation?

if i can't be a judge of right and wrong, how can you? Is "right" whatever is popular...Hitler thought so...

Your insults are a convenient cover up...you've said of substance to persuade anyone...i hope some non-aborted 5 year old will change your mind someday...just curious, do you have any children and have you had an abortion(s)?

@Sueezee1

not trying to be "smart," just trying to figure out why you think the "dead baby in a desert" and "dead rat" "theory" is a good argument for your pro-abortion cause? not convincing at all... so, help me understand why you think it's better to kill a baby than to give it to someone who does want it? Help me understand...and before you call someone's intelligence into question...find some better adjectives than "frickin'" and check your spelling...and only my wife calls me sweetie.
