Thread Name: BS: George Monbiot on abortion rates
Subject: RE: BS: George Monbiot on abortion rates
It is a real tough one. One thing that may help is to make abortion a valid option amonst others. The others include better sex education and contraception. If it too late for that the options are to keep the baby, if that is what the woman wants to do, with as much help as she needs. Or adoption, again with as much help as required. Call me cynical, but while private clinics make money out of abortions it is in their best interest to promote that option above the others. While single mothers are vilified by the press and government that option is often the worst choice. Don't get me wrong here, I am not saying any option is better than another as all cases must be treated on their own merits, but when people do have valid choices and are well informed of them they can then make the best decision for them at the time.
