I’m one of those strange birds who believes that elective abortion is a sin but who does not think the government should be in the business of making moral decisions. The sad part is the debate rages on the fringes with one side bringing up late term abortions as though they are a large percentage of abortions and the other side bringing up incest and rape cases like they are a large percentage of abortions.

I would be very interested in a discussion that talked about how to prevent women from getting thrown into the river as opposed to how we should criminalize drowning.

There are good options to unplanned pregnancy and the best option is to avoid it using chastity and birth control. The next best option IMO is adoption.

The extreme cases of risk to the mothers health, incest and rape are grueling choices that only the woman should ultimately have the option of making, not a government oversight board.
