I think people should, in general, choose not to have abortions

367. I understand what you are saying.

I think more people, in general, should choose not to have children at all. The planet doesn't need billions of us.

I think birth control should be free, and so ubiquitous that nobody, male or female, ever has an excuse to do without.

If I were to limit reproductive choice in any way, it wouldn't be abortions. I'd limit it this way:

Automatic vasectomies for every boy when he hits puberty, to be reversed when he finishes his education, establishes an adult life, and decides that he's ready to become a father.

I don't, for those frothing at the mouth after reading that, advocate limiting choice. Not really. I do admit to sometimes fantasizing about it, when dealing with damaged kids whose parents shouldn't be parents, which I do on a daily basis as a teacher.

As for your defense of your own existence? A natural response. I'd say more, but I don't think this is really the best environment for that conversation.
