I spend a good deal of time assisting in the prevention of abortions. I teach sex-ed.
One of my major problems with the anti-choicers is that many of them are also against teaching safe sex beyond abstainance. People have sex. All the time. Whether their Gods and teachers and parents and presidents say it's right or wrong. And without proper sex-ed, there will be unwanted babies. Then, whether their Gods and teachers and parents and presidents say it's right or wrong, people will have abortions.
May as well make it safe.
(Incase you don't know, I'm staunchly prochoice)
Edit: not to say that contraception is infallible. I know it isn't. But it does help.
