Thread Name: BS: Farewell to an anti-abortionist
Subject: RE: BS: Farewell to an anti-abortionist
Kevin, you said...

"If the only women having abortions were those who are doing so as a genuinely free choice, the number would be far fewer."

Kevin that sounds to me like you are saying women would have far fewer abortions if they had a genuinely free choice. What did you mean if not that?

"Working to help give all women who are pregnant a real choice not to have an abortion should be the priority, and one on which everyone should be able to agree."

I disagree with this statement as well. Working to give all women a real choice "to have an abortion or not to have an abortion", is the real choice. Abortion is not really a choice for most of the pregnant women of the world. (And many of us know that herbal remedies don't always work!)
