Abortion etc.

The Times comments on the recent plans to "relax" laws on abortion in the UK. Now, in my opinion, anything we can do to support the sensibilities of women is fundamental to our societal success when tackling abortion. As if abortion is not traumatic enough for women anyway, why do the commentors to this article (all men) see this as a keystone in our cultural demise? Making abortion limitations stricter is not going to help tackle rising rates of demand. This, to me, is obvious. Better awareness and education, augmented through a psychological, cultural shift, however, will. We should not, also, forget the preachings of our favorite feminist friend, Amanda, intent on keeping her place within this world firmly four inches higher than males everywhere, who reminds us of the all-too-common hypothetical scenarios involving a drug-addicted, impoverished teenager who is brutally raped by an HIV infected mutant, and, therefore, impregnated. If we all were to listen to the pro-life Christian, fundamentalist bigots, this girl's life would be forever ruined as a result. Interestingly enough, off the topic of abortion, Amanda elaborates on the Californian blaze; not on the tragedy, surprisingly, but on the right-wing reaction calling this God's punishment for San Diego's homosexual community. Repellent.
