[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Mr. Beacon may have a somewhat rantish, foaming-at-the-mouth sort of style in expressing it, but the point he brings up is very relevant to at least the religious right's campaigns against abortion in the US. If they were [i]really[/i] interested in reducing the number of abortions, they would be interested in reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies. And, even if it is their belief that abstaining from sex is the only morally proper way to do that, they still know full well that that isn't going to happen. The best way to stop people (particularly teenagers) from getting inadvertently knocked up is to make sure they have contraceptives when (notice I didn't say "if") they have sex. Instead, the religious right has made it part of their mission to take every opportunity to keep contraceptives [i]out[/i] of the hands of those who need it. It's blatantly obvious to anyone giving the subject a moment's thought that such an action will increase the number of undesired pregnancies. And that will increase the number of abortions, whether it's legal or not. Basically, the people running this movement have given no indication that they actually want to solve the problem of unwanted pregnancies which lead to abortions. They've given every indication that they want to tell other people what and what not to do, based upon religious beliefs that the people affected may well think are complete shit. [/QB][/QUOTE]
