However, in the case of abortion, both the states and feds have gone too far in making it as easy as picking up a bottle of aspirin. For example, there is no reason in hell for having late term abortions as those are truly a barbaric practice, (maybe and I mean maybe, 1 in 100000 cases would justify that procedure to save the mom and even that is iffy at best) nor is there any thing wrong with a 24 or 48 hour waiting period. And I "pity the fool" who says my minor daughter/children can have any medical procedure without my consent. Emergency contraception should be available for anyone over 18, regardless of whether the pharmacist likes it or not. If the looney lefties and the rabid righties would step back and look at themselves and what they have degraded in to, (multi-billion dollar business ventures) they would realize that they could virtually eliminate abortion by working together to educate folks, help women and girls who are "in trouble", and prevent unwanted pregnancy in the first place. There are far too many absolutists on either side of the debate who refuse to budge an inch on the issue. In the meantime, far too many babies (not wads of protoplasm, babies) are lost and far too many unwanted children are born in to a cycle of poverty, abuse and eventual failure and far too many girls/women are left in shambles because of these left and right absolutist assholes.

You described word for word exactly how I feel about abortion. Its nice to hear someone else that feels that way.:thumbsup:
