Hillary Clinton's positon on abortion for the democratic party

8. I remember when she said this and thought it well said

It is my observation that when women make well-informed decisions about themselves and their bodies, those decisions overwhelmingly tend to be good ones. Not only do women themselves benefit from their better choices, but so does everyone else they know.

Perhaps I am wrong, but it would seem that one of the two of the most important elements of making a better world for everyone would be a thorough and dispassionate sex education - possibly from the age of 10 or 12 - including issues of sexual violence. Knowledge IS power. The second would be readily - and freely - available contraception and family planning. The cost of doing so is modest, and the gains to society are potentially enormous in so many ways.

In some ways, it may be appropriate to think of these as akin to vaccinations - tiny up-front costs with an order of magnitude (or two) benefit in the future. It would seem to me that healthy, happy, empowered people have a very good chance of making the world better for everyone - including me (and even Republicans).

In this way, we can eliminate the need for most abortions.

Opposition to the above would seem to be a bald-faced attempt to inflict power on the weak, an attempt to extract submission from the defenseless for the sheer pleasure of domination.
