What prolifers don't get is that many women are not like them. What arrogance! "I think babies are blessings so everyone else must agree with me." There are all kinds of reasons women want to terminate pregnancies and I dare say that there are one or two you yourself might entertain if you were in the similar circumstances. The fact is that the pro-life position is simply unjustifiable. If there in a conceivable situation that may justify terminating a single pregnancy the pro-life position falls like the house of cards it is.
Women have always had unprotected sex and always will. The rational things to do are to do as much as we can to keep unwanted pregnancies from happening in the first place, to give the women the help they need to deal with the children for whom they can not provide, and allow abortions for those cases where other options are no good. Pro-choice policies have reduced the number of abortions more that pro-life policies could ever hope to do.
