Thread Name: BS: George Monbiot on abortion rates
Subject: RE: BS: George Monbiot on abortion rates
A very odd thing happened then with my iPad which I won't regale y'all with but a "'saved" version of my post got posted instead of what I was working on. It wasn't much different but I'll post it again with the additions I intended. Ahem:   

Well I suppose we have to believe your examples. But, even if true, they are just that, a couple of examples out of millions, plucked out to support your misguided and uninformed standpoint. Needless to say, the formula suggested in the last two lines of your post not only makes Victorian family values look like an illegal rave, but also is completely useless. No mention of education for relationships, the nurturing of respect for self and others, free availability of contraception, a fight against poverty. No mention of real support and advice for young people free of moralising. In fact, not a single practical suggestion as to how we can treat people with non-authoritarian respect and still reduce unwanted pregnancies. Just cod-moralising same-old. Abject in the extreme. You should be embarrassed.
