Pregnancy can be prevented, especially with all the products we have today, if only the people who used them, used them responsibly. I think it's all about the lack of responsibility.

I don't want to hear about all this...accidents happen bullcrap; accidents can be prevented if the two were being responsible during sex.

Or if the two remain abstinent until they marry. Premarital sex leads to a lot of this abortion problem in the first place.

And if shit smelled like roses it would be dandy.

Not having sex before you marry leads to FAR worse problems in my opinion.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

When did the first state legalize abortion?
In 1967 Colorado and California legalized abortion. By June, 1970, when the State of New York passed the first Abortion on Demand Law (24-week limit), it be-came the 16th state to allow abortion. Due to an extremely loose interpretation of "mental health," California also had defacto abortion-on-demand. Alaska and Hawaii had liberal laws. Laws in the other 12 states, which included Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina and Virginia, were very restrictive, typically allowing abortion only for pregnancies due to assault rape, incest and life of the mother as well as for severe fetal handicap.
No more laws passed after that?
Between the passage of New York’s law in 1970 and the Supreme Court’s decision of January ’73, no more state legislatures voluntarily passed permissive abortion laws. Florida did because of a court order. The other states debated the issue in their legislatures, and all 33 voted against permitting abortion for any reason except to save the mother’s life. In April of ’72, New York State repealed its most permissive law. Governor Nelson Rockefeller vetoed the repeal, and the law remained in force. In the November ’72 elections, however, so many pro-abortion legislators were swept out of office that the New York General Assembly had enough votes to override the governor’s veto. Plans were made to again repeal the law when that legislature reconvened in 1973. Before it could act, however, the Supreme Court handed down the Roe v. Wade decision and nothing was done.
The old state laws were challenged?
Yes. Having been stopped cold in their attempts to legalize abortion in any additional states, after 1970 pro-abortion forces challenged the legality of laws in many of the other states. These challenges to the constitutionality of the laws forbidding abortion in these states met with rather consistent results. In about one-third of the states, most of which had already legalized abortion by statute, these laws were declared unconstitutional in varying degrees. Two-thirds of the federal courts in the states, however, declared existing laws to be constitutional. In general, the states on the east and west coasts were permissive, whereas the broad sweep between the Alleghenies and Rockies remained pro-life.
There were referenda?
Yes. After the pro-abortionists were stopped in the legislatures and in the courts, they tried referenda in two states, to allow abortion-on-demand until 20 weeks in the November 1972 election.
North Dakota, only 12% Catholic, voted 78% against abortion.
Michigan, an industrial state (pre-polled at 60% pro-abortion), voted 63% against abortion.
The tide had turned?
Yes. It seemed obvious that most people did not want abortion. But, on January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled and abortion was imposed from the top down. Roe vs. Wade, U.S. Supreme Court410 U.S. 113, 1973 Doe vs. Bolton, U.S. Supreme Court 410 U.S. 179, 1973

I totally agree. The only way to make sure that nobody gets pregnant is to not have sex. If you wait until you're married to have sex, then if you get pregnant, its not anybody's problem anymore. Abortion should never be an option because the baby didn't ask to come here so why should it have to leave? Don't take a life to make it easier on yourself. If you really don't want it, give it up for adoption.

That has not happened in the history of man... it is not going to change now. People will have sex. Educate and provide birth control.
