The Cost of Illegal Abortions

Aquaria over at Rampaging PMS posts a very eloquent rant on the consequences of making abortion illegal. She says it all so much better than I could, that I have little to add to it. I will echo the warning she has at the top of the post -- it contains a disturbing, graphic image that illustrates what one of those consequences can be.

A return to those days won't even stop abortions -- it will just mean a return to a time when only the rich could get them safely, and when those least able to care for an unwanted child were also those least able to avoid having them. Combine that with the "abstinance-only" sex education that doesn't reduce teen sex while failing to teach them effective birth control, and you have a real recipe for disaster.

But hey, I guess they'll need plenty of peons around to help usher back in the age of indentured servitude that seems to be the goal of the so-called "Consumer Protection Act".
