Abortion should NOT be rare.

110. Then what's with all the talk about the word 'rare' in reference to choice? I've seen at least 3 OPs

But I have an extensive Ignore List for which I make no apologies.

In the past, I believe the use of the word 'rare' was the view that everyone should get sex education in school (not abstinence only stuff) access to family planning, contraceptives, and social services.

And economic opportunity to avoid oppressive groups who had members who forced them causing them to become pregnant or have no place to live. We need a social democracy system where health care and reproductive rights are not treated any differently than anything else; with prenatal care, child care, stipend, etc. so that if a woman does want a child, she is not stigmatized any more than for not wanting to have one.

Education is also key, as it has been shown that the higher the educational level a woman has, the less likely to be forced into marriage or think that motherhood is the only role a woman is meant to play in society. That the Democratic Party is the party of women's rights is no surprise. Democrats weren't confused about safety net implications of the word rare.

Meaning a woman would not be denied anything to give her opportunities to decide when or if she wanted to be pregnant.

AFAIK, most unwanted pregnancies are the result of women being denied many more choices than just the final one to have an abortion. There are a lot of choices in life that impact a woman choices, to make sure she is really free one way or the other.
