Many Muslim nations have criminalized abortion and their abortion rates are still very high. Of course the religionist governments feel good because they’ve swept it all under the rug and don’t have to actually deal with it. But Westernized countries like Belgium have programs and efforts that have allowed them to achieve one of the lowest abortion rates on earth….and yes….abortion is still legal in Belgium. Eastern European countries discovered that when faced with high abortion rates (based on maternal morbidity) after legalizing the procedure and provided education the abortion rates dropped significantly. Legalizing it allowed them to closely monitor its actual occurrence and the reasons behind women having abortion. In Belgium this allowed the government to find out what measures might be necessary to help more women choose life.
Same lies with no recognition of the facts posted above.

sadly you are right.... I just wonder if she recognizes the error of her rants as well?

for the record, i agree with your error.

The abortion issue is just a weapon they use to brow beat Christians into voting the way they want them too.
No, odds are that she was involved in an abortion and is having to deal with it all now.

I agree that it's still wrong. But at the end of the day my question isn't how can we make it look wrong on paper...but rather how can we reduce the abortion rate 30%, 40%, or even 50% in this country? At the end of the day how many lives can we save with comprehensive social policies aimed at helping and encouraging women to choose life?

No, not at all. She's a very opinionated young (21) lady. She is ALWAYS right and she was MAD that the others in the room were holding her feet to the fire about her rant.

That's quite a leap, but it's possible.

Not a leap at all. I had a conversation with her yesterday when I apologized.
