This is another difficult issue for me. I used to be a staunch anti-abortion person, but since I've matured (or at least become more cynical) I've learned that there is never a black-white answer. I think it should stay legal if for nothing else, then for the women who would put themselves in greater danger by having it done anyway.

I also think the government/schools should promote sex education and ensure kids have access to contraception. Also that health insurance companies should cover the expense of bc pills, or other methods (those that don't already).

Some days, though, I think who cares? If the mother is even considering an abortion, it most likely means the child wouldn't be wanted anyway, right? Why force another unloved, rejected child into the world. I know there are many happy stories about adoptions, but there are also many unhappy ones.

Some of the other comments above brought up another issue: Euthanasia. What's so wrong with that for that matter? Why force someone to live as a vegetable or endure years of agonizing pain? Just pull the plug, end the suffering and save money. Economics, I think, would favor both options.
