You can't cut off abortion first then do all the stuff that would prevent it later. What happens in the meantime? That's right, kids asking their boyfriend to bash their belly with a baseball bat.

When I was younger, I actually knew a girl who did this (he just used his fist though). I cringed at the thought, and had no idea that such a practice was commn in a society with abortion.
The thing is, although I thought she was a great girl and really cool, she was, well.....a slut. She cheated on her boyfriend allthe time, and bragged openly about having unprotected sex.
I mean, she was 16, a stupid kid. It was her mom's fault really. But if a girl like her gets pregnant because of bad parenting, poor education, and just an overall shitty outlook towards sex, why is it then society's responsibility to provide her with an easy out? Is "she might have her boyfriend punch her in the stomach" a good enough excuse to provide someone like her with an abortion? Does a
state have to accept that???
Maggie, how do
you feel abot banning partial birth abortion? What about parental consent letters? How about the Lacy Peterson legislation, which charges people for double homicide if they kill a pregnant woman...?
Do you support those things, and if not, what would "weening" then consist of???
