Hi, I just saw this post via the Rocksoc friends site. I think this article is unbelievable (and I am speaking here as a pregnant woman) - abortion doctors do not 'kill babies for a living', sex education does not sexualize children, and the idea that anyone hands out bad condoms to enhance their abortion business is laughable. I got a box of condoms from a (British) sex education project and one burst. I have never had this happen with brand name condoms, but poorly-funded sex ed projects can't afford to hand out Durex or Mates. I agree with the article in that I think far too many abortions are carried out each year, although I do not think this is a problem in any moral/religious sense, rather I think we underestimate the possible medical and psychological consquences for the women and girls who have these abortions. However, surely then governments should be funding MORE sex education for children, and MORE provision of free (better quality) contraception so that we hopefully end up with FEWER abortions. Grrr. Rant over.
