Are you Pro-life or Pro-choice?

I would rather focus on teaching pre-teens and teens about sex, its dangers, repercussions, and alternatives. This includes descriptively showing what happens to a fetus during an abortions, various STD's, and so on. Education is the key to any social problem

This goes back to my first post in this thread. This argument isn't going away anytime soon. Even if Roe v Wade were overturned, abortion wouldn't be made illegal; it merely would allow states to ban it if they wanted to, something that wouldn't happen in many states. Thus, while from a pro-life standpoint overturning Roe v Wade is important, it hardly is going to stop all or even most abortions from happening. Likewise, for those who are for keeping abortion legal, most of you want to see less abortions taking place because of their cost to society in terms of women's physical and mental health, medical costs, or maybe you dislike abortion personally while feeling it should remain legal.

So bottom line is we should do what we can to make abortion less desired on the part of women - meaning education, contraception, abstinence, morning-after pill, whatever it takes to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Surely the vast majority of us agree on that.

 

Isn't the morning after pill basically a really early abortion?

No.  The morning-after pill prevents any fertilized egg from being implanted, therefore preventing it from starting to grow on its own.  There are plenty of fertilized eggs that never get implanted and are never babies.  Therefore, I am all for this pill and would suggest police offer it to rape and incest victims as standard practice.
