Abortion as birth control would be sickening but it's not the norm by any stretch. Do you have any concrete evidence that it is? Of the women I know that have had abortions not a one of them has used it as birth control. None of them have even become pregnant again. One of them went so far as to get her tubes tied in her early twenties so she would never have to go through it again
Aztec, I agree with many of your points. Most people on both sides don't think it's fun . But to say just because you don't know anyone who uses it as birth conrol means that it ain't so is naive & flawed logic. I personally know one woman that has three children. She has also had EIGHT abortions. Her sister has had at least as many. I know another lady that is about to go for her fourth. I work in a group home for severely emotionally disturbed children, & have come across many similar cases. It is far more prevelant than you may know, especially among poor and uneducated women. No offense intended, but you are very articulate, & it seems that you would associate with others like you, intelligent women who may have made a mistake. There is a different attitude out there, & just because you & the women you know don't share it, does'nt make it non-existent. By the way, I'm pretty neutral on this issue, not rabidly pro or anti.
