"Abortion has(as) birth control needs to be the last choice... for the reasons I mentioned"

So you assume we all accept your reasons? that it must be the last choice? We all accept at face value your version of common sense and pragmatism?

A Question,asked in all seriousness: Do you propose that there should be changes to the laws to somehow distinguish between these abortions of convenience and the ones of necessity?

Should there be a three strikes law that would relegate the repeat customer of a planned parenthood clinic to the back alleys because of her disastrously bad family planning skills? Or because of her disregard for the "common sense" of birth control and modern prophylactics. Should she lose the rights to control what goes on in her uterus because she is up for her fourth abortion in 2 years?

Because if your overriding concern is for the health of the woman, then the answer to all of my queries must be no. First trimester abortions must be safe and legal, regardless of the prior life choices made the woman. Otherwise it's illegal. I don't believe you disagree with that.

I saw nobody on this thread "promoting" abortion as an alternative. Pointing out that it in-fact occurs at clinics is not the same as promoting it. Ethically a surgeon can not compel a woman to take birth control, and thus the alternative is to not turn her away.

Surely Planned Parenhood staff counsel the women to use birth control, as you have pointed out birth control is a vastly safer alternative to all forms of medical abortion.
