It's seems to be abortion week for me. I've answered a few questions aksed by pro-lifers.
Usually I point out I'm pro-choice, but that I can understand the pro-life sentiment. I point out that everybody is actually against abortion. Besides the freedom to choose, the whole debate is more about at which point somebody thinks life starts. At conception or later.
Anyway, in those answers I also talk about the high amount of deaths among women caused by unhealthy illegal abortion. I also mention the higher suicide rates among teenage pregnant girls in countries where abortion is illegal.
Now, for the 7th time in a few days I receive an e-mail from pro-lifers that answer me with something like: "those women and girls wouldn't have died had they not had sex in the first place".
I know, 7 pro-lifers doesn't even begin to be a statistic number. But can a few other pro-lifers please restore my faith in humanity a little bit? Death is not a good punishment for pre-marital sex, right?
