If abortion is such a bad thing they they should do whatever they can to reduce them. Which includes education, promoting other preventive methods of birth control (actually conception control), and promoting adoption more.
Abortion is a disgusting thing and I agree with you. But here's the problem:
Education - There can't possibly be a person alive that doesn't realize that sex is how babies get made. And if you engage in sexual practices, you run the risk of pregnancy.
Promoting other preventive methods of birth control - We have so many choices with regard to contraception. The pill, the condom, IUD, that stick you insert under your skin, diaphragms, etc, etc, etc. EVERYone has access to birth control - they just refuse to use it. And there's nothing we can do to make them.
It's like those durhards over in Africa - we GAVE them condoms and they refused to use them because it threatened their masculinity somehow. Fine, then die of AIDS, moron.
Promoting adoption - For one thing, most women who don't want to deal with a kid CERTAINLY don't want to carry it for 9 months, then give it away. Cramps their style. And who wants to adopt the offspring of some drug addicted slut and her God-knows-what boyfriend? There are only a handful of people who are kind enough to raise a kid that has the genetic odds stacked against them.
I think it's our over-sexualized pop culture that's the problem. And I have a conspiracy theory that says our government wants it that way. Part of the Communist plan to destroy America.
