Ah, the favourite tactical move of anti-abortionists: pushing emotional buttons. Newsflash: a bunch of cells doesn't get to voice an opinion because it doesn't have enough brain to have one.

I think that life begins at conception. Abortion has become a form of birthcontrol in this country.

Correction: you don't
think in this case. You simply
parrot, obediently reciting someone else's self-serving propaganda, having never bothered to verify its accuracy. Would you care to submit some statistical data that would support your unsubstantiated claims?

Top that with them fighting the teaching of abstinence and you can see why this problem is only getting worse.

Yes, because only the pro-lifers with their abstinence drivel should have the right to engage in propaganda among the young. See the double standard yet, or should I find you a flashlight?

You want to solve that problem, teach them self respect, educate them, and make them responsible for their actions.

Smartest thing you've said so far. What I don't understand is why you insist on spewing hateful "ACLU = evil" rhetoric of those delusional right-wingers who don't even understand the necessity of educating others? You know, the uptight, self-proclaimed "moral majority" who wouldn't mind turning this country into a Christian equivalent of Taliban state with Biblical "sharia" laws.

Planned Parenthood lobbies our school system to teach kids how to have sex, how to experiment with it, but doesn't push the consequences of their actions. And the try to prevent abstinence instruction. They even got the ACLU to try and take it to the supreme court on the basis that it's religious based teaching so it doesn't belong in public school.

That's because it
is religion-based, pal. You disagree? I challenge you to come up with a purely secular argument for abstinence. It's time to put up or shut up, 'cause, to tell you the truth, so far the overwhelming majority of your rather feeble attempts at argumentation have been less than convincing to anyone capable of separating emotional appeals and rhetorical trumpeting from logically valid argumentation.
