Most people opposed to RU-486 are that way because they are sick of seeing people take the easier, softer way out of their irresponsible decision making and behavior. Well, if they are irresponsible to start with, forcing them to have the child is the last thing I would want to do! Because as far as I know, having children and bringing them up is certainly not for the irresponsible. In fact, I might even like the idea of letting people have children only after they qualify for it...

Bob, About the only reasonable application for a drug like RU-486 is rape or incest. The problem with the incest victim is that the crime most likely will not be reported until the efficacy of RU-486 is well past. Rape victims that seek immediate medical attention get the "morning after" pill as a precautionary measure. Although I consider myself pro-life, if I were confronted with a 14 year old pregnant incest victim, that is the one case that I think the child and her guardians should be given a choice as to how they would handle the pregnancy, and a horrific choice it will be. Either choice has lifelong implications for the victim and therefore I think as a society we should do the utmost to not add to the victim's trauma. I think the victim should have full disclosure about the abortion procedure and it's possible complications (psychololgical and physical) AND full disclosure on carrying the pregnancy full term and it's possible complications, whether the baby is adopted or not. Abortion on demand a scourge on this country, but we need to show compassion for women who are truly victims or if their health is truly imperiled by a pregnancy. bp
