There is another aspect of public health that "right to lifers" never
talk about.
Before abortions were legal about 1/3 of pregnancies were unwanted.
These unwanted pregnancies resulted in children that were abused
mentally and physically throughout their childhood.
Many of these children resorted to crime to get away from these hostile
homes. This resulted in many deaths of other people, lifelong injuries
to other people and numerous people in jail for crimes that were a
result of being unwanted pregnancies. Well, with abortions now legal,
crime related deaths are way down and so are unwanted births.
Bet, those "right to lifers" don't talk about these additional death
either. ?
Those "other countries", legalized abortion, just for these societal
reasons. They have a societies that are interested in the overall
public health. Not religious extremism. They study society problems
and then devise EFFECTIVE ways to fix them. Not just pass laws!!
Remember, the religious extremists in Europe came to America to practice
there puritanical extremism. This religious extremism extends 'til
today with american legal and judicial system that incorrectly
"believes" that they can legislate correct behavior, rather than
motivate it. There is so much research on the disfunctionality of the
american judicial system compared to other countries it is a disgrace.
NO ISSUE IS JUST BLACK AND WHITE as the right wing religious
conservatives would have you believe.
