Yes, I want abortion to be "rare" (and why it doesn't matter what I want).

38. Thank you. I think most here are responding to my prejudices which I've acknowledged.

It's hard to blame them for disagreeing with things that I don't even agree with, myself. I know my prejudices are wrong and while I work to eliminate them, I can only admit they are there and try extremely hard not to let them affect others.

I think most of us have a prejudice that makes us believe we can manage other people's lives better than they can. In fact, I think that reality television is premised almost entirely on that belief. As a society, we love to judge other people's lives and think about how we would do better in their situation.

I admit my guilt in the OP but go on to say that my prejudice doesn't give me the right to tell someone else what they should do (which as you noticed is different than trying to tell people what the MUST do). Since it's not my body, or my life, it's offensive for me to try to tell others they should try to keep abortion rare. It's not my place because I'm not there.

Anyway, thanks again.
