Reply #78: How we're trying to make abortions rare.

[Jackie97]

Pro-choicers promote real sex education (often with the inclusion of abstinence as an option). Most of us are in favor of working to try to make birth control as accessable as possible with as little fuss from the insurance company as possible.

The key is not to try to encourage women to have their babies. They key is to try to prevent pregnacy to begin with. Democrats and Pro-choicers promote that for the most part. Republicans and anti-abortion people seem to promote a lot of ignorance for kids about how to keep from getting pregnant (through abstinence only education), less available access to contraception, etc.

It would help if our culture itself was more open about sexuality. I heard that's one of the reasons that Holland has the lowest abortion rate in the world (that and all they do all the suggestions I make). They're not afraid to talk about sex, so people understand more about how to prevent pregnacy.

If you want to encourage women to have their babies, I would suggest more social programs and more programs to help potentially single parents financially get on their feet with a good job. Democrats encourage social programs. Anti-abortion Republicans don't. Go figure.
