Word just in. Pro-choicers want to reduce abortion too. [View All]

Just because many of us don't see abortion as immoral or something that needs to be justified doesn't mean we don't want to reduce them.

Why do I keep reading things on here that suggest that pro-choicers don't want to reduce abortion?

We're the ones who support programs like Planned Parenthood, which try to make contraceptives better available to women.

We're the ones who advocate that birth control pills be covered by an insurance company.

We're the ones who advocate real sex education instead of that "Just say no" junk. We also don't lie to kids about what causes pregnacy and STDs the way some people teaching abstinence only do. We want to keep kids from getting pregnant, and experts say our way is better than the abstinence only method because most kids taking the virginity pledge will eventually break it.

We also advocate more social programs to help single mothers. We don't do that to reduce abortion, but I bet it helps reduce it.

In short, we're the ones trying to prevent unwanted pregnacies. The anti-abortion movement is the one trying to get in the way of all of these things. Why don't people see that more? Why do I often get ignored whenever I point this stuff out?
