I know, another hot button issue, but I am curious what the percentages are. I believe abortion is wrong, and a society that supports or condones it has started the slide towards losing it's moral fabric. If forced to come up with a solution on my own, from all the ideas I have heard and read, here's what I would suggest:
1. Outlaw abortion, except in cases of rape, incest and when it endangers the health of the mother.
2. Keep the "morning after" pill legal.
3. Adoption. I read somewhere recently that there is now a "don't ask, don't tell" policy where a baby can be left at a hospital with no questions asked. Continue this policy.
With those options, along with the fact that you would have to be living in a cave somewhere not to understand that contraception is available, I really see no excuse to continue this practice. I don't see why, with these options available, there would have to "back alley" abortions. If you can counter this logic, go right ahead.
I would also be very curious to see what the percentages of people would be, if you were to ask this question to people who have had children, versus people who have not. As a father, it is hard to imagine that people who have children, could look at those kids, realize that they wouldn't be here if another "choice" had been made, and still support abortion.
