Dear NY Times, please stop
A NYTimes.comfront page headline reads: ‘Clinton Seeks Middle Ground in Abortion Debate’ with the tag line, ‘Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said that the nation’s focus should be on preventing unwanted pregnancies.’
I’m only going to scream this once. FOCUSING ON UNWANTED PREGNANCIES IS NOT THE ‘MIDDLE GROUND IN THE ABORTION DEBATE.’ IT’S SMART PUBLIC POLICY! IT’S WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING TO REDUCE ABORTIONS! IT’S EDUCATING OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN TO MAKE SMART CHOICES ABOUT THEIR SEXUALITY!

I agree wholeheartedly!
I had a ‘discussion’ about that with one of the other American students at my school in Germany today. He didn’t seem to be able to fathom the following concept:
“If you’re pro-life and you’re really concerned about preventing the destruction of life once it has begun, then you had better get really concerned about providing women like me with 100% effective birth control, because that’s the only way to keep us from getting those abortions.”
It was like it had never occurred to him that abortion is what happens when birth control doesn’t.
His response to this brand new concept: “Well, in the catholic church, we have 100% effective birth control”
