That said I believe strongly that we must eliminate the "need" for abortions by teaching boys and girls, men and women, the importance of respecting our bodies and the bodies of others. There should never be an "unwanted" pregnancy whether from forced and inappropriate sex or from consensual but unprotected sex. Women will manage our reproductive rights better if the men in our lives are fully supportive and invested in healthy respectful way. <br /><br />Secondly - banning abortion and limiting abortion rights impacts primarily the poorest of women who already struggle with limited resources. Middle class and wealthy women will find a way and a means to have abortions if so needed. On this level it is a social justice issue of protecting equally the rights of all women. <br /><br />So - teach respect and dignity to both boys and girls, men and women - limit or rather eliminate the need for abortions - and lastly, keep them legal so that we stand for equality and justice.<br /><br />IF the men who are sponsoring this bill really cared for the women in their lives they would redirect their energy likewise.<br /><br />(climbs off of soapbox)Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17343988.post-43653799741528392202011-01-31T12:05:13.816-06:002011-01-31T12:05:13.816-06:00Are we really going to head back to the days when ...Are we really going to head back to the days when abortion was illegal? I agree that it's not something I could do, but it shouldn't be my decision for someone else. Sigh.The Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509037206264761261noreply@blogger.com
