There is no spin.

The point I make is not really directed at you than at the jackass at Bellevue Baptist (and the like) who really do think they will get an all or nothing ruling on this as per Biblical scripture. The complications that arise as per the issue of 'procreation' are many and saying every fetus is sacred just does not cut it.

I am not one for wholesale abortion or it used as 'birth control.' This is even written into the briefs and decision made in 1973. Right to life groups do a horrible disservice to our Supreme Court and system when they manipulate the information that is the actual truth about Roe v. Wade.
  • The majority of Americans want Roe v. Wade to stay.
  • The majority of Americans do not want the procedure used as contraceptive.
  • The majority of Americans know the procedure needs to be done ASAP after a woman finds she is pregnant and she is in a very difficult circumstance to raise a child. Second and third trimester abortions should not be performed unless under very extreme and life threatening circumstances to baby and or mother.
I would say I sit right in the middle of the majority on this one, it is all pretty darn reasonable really.
