I don't think that abortion should be a talking point at all with politicians or even a concern to the government. No matter how you feel, if someone wants to end their pregnancy they will try to find a way. I'd rather they have a safe medical alternative than to try jamming a coat hanger into their uterus. Policing morals can lead you down a very slippery path.
I live in a predominantly catholic area of the US. Here...
...Women who get pregnant out of wedlock are not publicly shunned, but it's definitely frowned upon. No sympathy whatsoever - she's a slut.
...Men are not held accountable and can usually blow off support payments. Promiscuous men are not looked down upon as a rule.
...The men tend to oppose adoption because admitting that you can't father a child is too emasculating.
...Abortion is not talked about.
...Parents ignore the sexuality of their children, never bother to educate them.
We really need to take a broader look at this issue. As a guy, pregnancy has little affect on my life. A single mother is going to have a hard time both providing for that new life and also making ends meet while carrying the child to term. Perhaps if our society didn't make them feel like whores and be more supportive, more women would carry a child to term and then give it up for adoption. How about creating an internet registry to pair up women who wish to give their child up for adoption with prospective adoptees, with provisions from the future parents to cover the medical costs of the birth mother. Lastly, parents need to take responsibility for teaching their children about sex and birth control. My parents never even came close to talking to me about it. Maybe they figured growing up on a farm I would learn from observation.
Ann Coulter is just an attention whore. She'd participate in a televised donkey show if she thought it would get her on the bestseller's book list.
