Most people who are pro choice are not pro abortion. Pro abortion, to me anyway, means every pregnancy should end in abortion. I do not like abortion BUT I have said it before but I firmly believe that abortion should be safe, legal, and
RARE!!!! Do you honestly think this morning as I watched my 15 month old have a major tantrum (with real tears and everything) because I would not let him dump the dogs water bowl over I thought to myself 'gosh I should just abort him?' Of course not.

Legal restrictions on abortion do not affect its incidence. For example, the abortion rate is 29 in Africa, where abortion is illegal in many circumstances in most countries, and it is 28 in Europe, where abortion is generally permitted on broad grounds. The lowest rates in the world are in Western and Northern Europe, where abortion is accessible with few restrictions

This is defiantly a supply-demand issue. I think instead of spending all this time, money, and energy on making abortion illegal (supply) we should ask ourselves WHY is there such a demand?
We as a society have to be doing something wrong if so many woman are getting pregnant only to terminate the pregnancy. The problem is I do not think there is one right answer that will work for every child, kwim?
