<<The practice of abortion can be expected to naturally subside over time through technology, availability of birth control,...>>
I want to mention, as an aside, re birth control, that the GWB executive order re foreign aid funds "for abortion" isn't really that, though it has been repeatedly referred to as that in the media.
It is to cease funding, at all, any organization that, as one service among others (maternal prenatal care, well-baby clinics, birth control...), offers abortion counseling. (Not just abortion; abortion "counseling.")
I see an item in the abortion category we may actually have some disagreement about:
You say:
<<and the consciousness raising of those who are cavalier about abortions.>>
And I'm thinking that consciousness raising is the only deterrent you would consider for ending late term abortions.
And I think late term abortions are infanticide.
Infanticide is an issue that, like all issues, can be discussed, of course. But I don't think it's fair to call infanticide "abortion" because it's ideologically convenient to obscure the distinction between embryos, fetuses, and infants.
I mean, of course, those differences that don't fall in the category "In" or "Out" of womb. |
