Why would anyone care whether a woman has an abortion or not?

241. Reading comprehension is a really useful skill.

Go back to the original recent post, because you obviously did not read carefully enough to understand what my position on choice is.

As to my participation in these discussions,

In the first thread, I responded to the question as to why discussion threads on abortion drop like a stone, and why it appears active support for choice among Dems was waning: The rhetoric alienates people who support choice, but who understand that virtually everyone views the contents of a woman's uterus, at some point before birth, as significantly more than a parasite, and who understand that we will never reach anything other than a standpoint until we can have adult discussions about what that means.

In this thread, I responded to a similarly narrow issue - why making unwanted pregnancies rare was not synonymous with making abortions rare. And that part the goal of making abortion rare is actually the full range of reproductive choice in the face of an unexpected pregnancy, not JUST the choice to have an abortion.

I declined to get dragged into the broad substantive discussions in either thread for the reasons I've indicated, and responses like yours are why I decline to get dragged into the broader discussions.
