Yes-- abortions safe legal and rare, sounds good.

I'd even go along w/ making abortions virtually illegal IN THE CONTEXT OF a more sane culture which 1) embraces human sexuality wholeheartedly, 2) has developed contraception which is safe, ethical, easy to use & available (weve sent people to the moon and STILL don't have decent contraception?? what gives??)

and 3) truly embraces and loves cares for women and children such that a women could be more supported in her choosing to give birth to the child.

It really is NOT good to have to abort or feel one has to abort. Hey, what can I say I'm someone who's cried buckets at the animal shelter over sick kittens being euthanized. I cant help but think a woman who chooses to abort her fetus aka "baby" must be in a very sad desparate situation indeed.

I'd be very excited if we could frame the debate like this--- the idea of a "pro-life" stance which unabashedly embraces sexuality and taking responsibility for ones sexuality. I actually think its the f***ed up cultural weirdness about sex/sexuality which is creating most of these abortions in the first place... people not taking responsibility for their actions bc they're so psychologically divided about sex...

Yeah,lets get visionary!!!
