Final note.
Hkbajwa you seem confused about Jefferson's use of "convenient".
He is clearly not saying abortion is more convenient than conventional birth control.
He is saying abortion is more convenient than pregnancy, especially pregnancy when giving up for adoption is planned.
And as anyone can easily see, he is right.
FYI,
there is far more hormonal disturbance involved in pregnancy and childbirth than there is in abortion, so please stop writing as though the abortive mother has this terrible load of hormonal imbalance compared with the procreant mother.
Not to mention all the other changes and adjustments that go with pregnancy which are not attendant on abortion.
Secondly,
Jefferson is correct about how the "hard cases" like rape and incest are always pulled out by pro abortion persons.
But in truth they account for only a tiny speck of the forty five million abortions which have taken place since Roe.
Many prolifers like myself do realize that rape and incest must be included as exceptions in any abortion restriction legislation, just to get the damned thing passed.
However,
thousands of women have given birth to the offspring of rape and loved them just like their other children, so it is certainly not self evident to me that a pregnancy from rape MUST be aborted. |
