You fail to address the reasons a woman seeks to end a pregnancy, you fail to address the issue of abortion. Period.

You fail to see a way clear for a woman to complete a pregnancy, safe and well-cared for - you fail to address the issue of abortion. Period.

You fail to see a way to provide legitimate tools for a woman and her partners to prevent an unplanned pregnancy, you fail to address the issue of abortion. Period.

Roe v. Wade is not a blank check to terminate any inconvenient pregnancy, or a free ride for those who would. Roe v. Wade is privacy law. Period.

And in this culture, I'd be more concerned about the privacy issues than the "welfare mom" issues - or the innocence of babes issues.

Do yourself a favor today.

Find a "St. Anne's House" that will take a pregnant woman under the age of 21.
Find a source to safely terminate a pregnancy that you'd trust not to kill you. Oh, and find funding too.

I've tried to do that today, and failed. That's what public opinion has done - and I consider that a very legitimate outcome, considering the vehemence of the arguments put forth.

Anything more is side-stepping the realities entirely.

Noble, my ass. Pro-life, my ass.

They do, but it looks like an private adoption service for the religious right. They told me they advise adoption to the girl so she can concentrate on herself and not worry about the baby.

I'm such a dork. You were right.
