"Instead of trying to make abortion illegal for instance, how about work to make abortion unnecessary and every child cared for and loved?"

This is a wonderful goal but is idealistic and naive.

How exactly do you "Make abortion unnecessary"? The only way I can think of is abstinence.

And how do you "Make every child cared for and loved"? I know how I did this with my kids but every child will never be cared for and loved. To care for and love children is not in the nature of every human. Never has been and never will be. We will always have uncared for and unloved kids.

And your comments dance around one of the central issues: is it murder?

There is a huge support network out there for unwed mothers now. And if more women would chose not to abort, this network would grow in proportion to the need. There is a huge network to support adoption and it too would grow. (My kids are adopted)

Until the central issue of murder is settled, by concensus and not judicial fiat, it is my opinion that no real progress will be made in curbing the slaughter in the womb.
