I don't think I ever said people shouldn't be more responsible. I'm well aware that there are pretty disgusting people out there that use a last resort as a way out of a preventable problem. HOWEVER, if we were to outlaw abortion with rape as an exception, how many of those disgusting people would get desperate and start fingering the guy they fucked to get the abortion they need. Not to mention, who is going to decide that? How can you be sure they decide without bias? It takes a year to get a court date for some punk kid breaking your car window, what do you think will happen here?

And I think it bears mentioning that Republicans vote down EVERY piece of non-abstinence only sex ed funding that comes across their face. How the fuck does it make sense to REFUSE to fund programs that teach about condoms, birth control, teen pregnancy, and STDs...vote down legislature that forces ALL pharmacies to carry the morning after pill (which has no effect on an already implanted egg, thus "aborts" nothing) but then try to blanket-ban abortion.

People are going to fuck. They're going to make bad choices. Instead of playing big brother to them and making laws that reach into a woman's fucking vagina, how about we expand efforts to teach kids not to be fucking stupid? Bring teen moms into classrooms to talk about what they went through. Make birth control available to girls without parental permission at 16 years of age or something. You can drive but you can't be on the pill? Make insurance companies cover the pill. Make it free. That's how you reduce the need for abortion, not by making laws sprung out of the "moral christian" agenda.

And Mitt Romney is a fucking moron.

Complete agreement with you there. Sex ed is no longer funded? I remember in middle school even my last year in elementary we had it, definitely a good idea.

Also, it doesnt help with pope saying condoms and any birthcontrol is akin to abortion, which is why no one in south america who is catholic uses it.
