So you're pro-life'...Explain why we should make abortion illegal?

[cally]

I can understand, not agree, why many are against abortion. I think it should be legal and rare. The issue for me is how to deal with unwanted pregnancy. I want every child to be wanted and nourished. So, I advocate for improved sex education. I advocate making birth control available and affordable. I advocate for women's economic rights. I advocate for improvement in economic opportunity. I'm conviced all of these programs will decrease the rates of pregnancy and abortion.

So, if you advocate a ban on abortion or partial birth abortion then what will be the outcome? Do you think women should carry to term a pregnancy when they will die? May die? Cause health problems? How do you define health problems? Should we write these into law or should a physician decide because it is too variable to make good law?

If we ban abortion then what do you expect will happen? Do you believe we'll end abortion? Do you think any woman will have a coat hangar abortion? How do you justify the women who will die? Abortions have occured throughout history. Prove to me how our society will eliminate them through making them illegal. Easier, prove that restrictive laws will reduce the rates of abortion.


I just don't get the pro-life position. I don't like abortion but I don't see any alternative that makes any sense. Make some sense.
