As opposed to abortions based on abstinence?

Aren't all abortions predicated on sex?

I don't agree that abortions should be granted just because you don't want that child to be that sex. 
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

How do you avoid it though, when the woman could just lie and say it's for another reason?

Through draconian laws that restrict it severely would be the only way other than that there is no way.   I find it wrong that people would do this but there is nothing short of what I initially stated that would prevent it
"Eat it up.  Wear it out.  Make it do or do without."

Yeah that's how i see it too. They're making a big thing about it, but I don't see how legally they have any way of preventing it

They will probably try and pass a law preventing it and then crucify some poor woman who slipped up in her answers and could not afford a good lawyer all the while feeling morally superior and satisfied they solved the problem :thumbdn:

You're probably right.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

i swear i remember reading this same exact thread a year ago or so. someone said something about abortions due to sex, then someone joked that abortions have to be due to sex, and then on and on.

all abortions are basically pointless, so im not going to argue why one reason is more pointless than the other. i think it's all pretty horrible.

No, I'll have to disagree. Some abortions may be necessary as horrible as abortion can be to many of us.

i think the only time an abortion is necessary is if it will medically hurt the mother.
