No. abortions are going to happen whether it's legal or not, and if it's made illegal then these abortions will become incredibly unsafe and possibly fatal for the mothers. we can't go back to the era of back alley abortions.
You are exactly right on. I had an abortion when I was 18, but because it was illegal in the United States I had to go to Mexico. I was alone in a foreign country, at age 18, having this procedure. It was through a religious organization so I felt confident that I would be safe, but nevertheless...WHY should any female have to go through this?
I know that most of the posters here are males, so I will say that you don't really know what you're talking about, in my opinion, unless you are pro-choice. It's easy to say anything you want about how females should not have abortions, but you guys need to get out of our wombs and STOP the moralizing.
It's none of your business.
Do you want society in your pants, legislating what you do with your private body parts?
Thank you for offering your personal experience in this matter, hermit. Although men, including pro-choicers like myself, have a right to be heard, like Joe Republic pointed out earlier it is very very telling, not to mention Peak Atlas, how very very few women if any have commented in this thread. Let alone someone who actually dealt with the risks and horrors of having to get an abortion in the pre Roe v Wade era.
Thank you again for bringing back some real world perspective to this debate.
