Obama's abortion reduction packaging

How do the Southern Baptists and the Catholic Bishops plan to reduce the need for abortions when they don't want to help make contracption available? Guess everyone is supposed to "abstain". Like that is going to happen! I know the RCC is opposed to anything but the unreliable rhythm method, but somehow I don't think the teenage girl in the back seat of the Chevy is thinking about that...much less what time of the month is when it comes to her fertility.

Unreasonable not to fund not only sex education but contraception as well. All fine and dandy to offer help to pregnant women, but it is cheaper to not have those unwanted pregnant women to begin with.

But Pagansister, the Church says "Just say no" when it comes to condoms. Our bishop has made it clear that under no circumstances are condoms ever to be used. However, some bishops and priests feel that it is valid for married couples to use condoms if one of the partners has HIV/AIDS.

The US government has no business involving itself in the business of pregnant women at all. This is necessary at all is under the business of the various state governments, and that also is doubtful. Abortion is murder and should be punished as any other high crime against children except whenever the mother is at great risk because of it.

RE: Contraception What actually seems strange is that people, (except the handful of couples that were present and whose suggestions were ignored), who are not in the position to procreate are the ones dictating what should go on in everyone elses bedroom. Stranger still is that people are also told to inform thier conscience, yet it can only be within the parameters that have been set. The church needs to back off of its obsession with sex which borders on idolotry. This one topic gets all of the headlines when in fact the RCC does a lot of real good in the world. If the church were really about promoting whole community cathechesis, I believe, many things (including abortion and unintended pregnancy) would lessen considerably.

your name:
So you're against sex education? You just prefer that kids have sex and end up pregnant....thus more abortions due to fear of telling their parents. Somehow whether there is sex education or not,some kids will experiment (after all, it doesn't take long to figure out what goes where and what to do just follows)and sometimes there is a pregnancy or an STD...neither desired. There was a study recently published that said abstinence only education DOESN'T WORK. Ignorance of the facts of life is not the way to go. Providing sex ed explains what a child should know and how to prevent pregnancy & STDS, with the best option being abstinence. Sex ed may not make abortion go away....but it will prevent many abortions, since there will be fewer pregnancies. Does that make sense to you?

There is absolutely no agreement of when life begins. Educate the public? Excuse me, but the "public" in most cases isn't ignorant. Educate them on what? Your version of when life starts? Not all agree with your version. You have a lot of good ideas on the "perfect marriage" with every child wanted is the ideal, but life doesn't work that way...as I'm assuming you know, depending on your age. Yes, help should be given to those who choose to finish a pregnancy and working mothers. IMO, a woman should be able to decide in the first trimester whether to carry a pregnancy to term or not. However that isn't for you or me or the government to decide. It is up to the woman, her circumstances and her doctor. No one else.
