I'm pro choice, within reason. But I think something more in alignment with the 14 week option in Germany is a good objective for now. I do not believe you can shut down all abortion instantaneously, but over time, the objective should be to move toward an understanding that abortion is a decision one makes right away, not weeks down the road. Women know when they have been exposed. The clock is running from that instant. In my mind, there is a vast difference between, e.g., six weeks and 12, or 12 and 20. This is not about conception or "bodily autonomy." This is about the reasonableness and practicality of abortion as a means of problem-solving, and it is a last-ditch effort to stop a pregnancy that is underway. Preferable is the morning-after pill, available cheap without prescription at every drugstore. And far better, thoughtful consideration before engaging in high risk activities. It is easy for me to say today. Far easier than it was for my 15 y/o gf in 1970 to go to her mom and tell her she needed to get on the pill, though. But there was no sex ed in school then, kids learned what they learned from the unlucky. Today, kids know how to deal with these issues ahead of time and they may just need some impetus. The move to "No Abortions" isn't going to just happen one day. IT is a gradual process, a learning process, and this is the next step. I'm assuming you are not pro-abortion today, right?
