Why the emphasis on banning the rare late term abortion? Why not help poor young women?
Abortion is 4.5 times more common among poor women as it is among middle class.

Cut all this PC crap! Poverty is a choice. People are poor because other people are superior to them. Stop abortions, but kill the adults if they grow up poor!!

this is something I never could understand, I think if anyone did 5 minutes research they would see it was a republican Supreme Court Justice who wrote the opinion for Roe VS Wade in the Supreme Court, It was also a republican Supreme Court Chief Justice at the time also, Mrs Bush has even said on national TV (The Today Show) she does not believe the Roe VS Wade should be over turned and thought here husband agreed with her. The Roe VS Wade ruling was about not letting the Government control to make the decision for whats right for a individual, the same with gun control, when the biggest gun control bill in recent history has been the Brady bill,( a Conservative backed bill) yes, both issues had allot of liberal support, but as in both things, but there is allot of gray area, that they misinform people with

Because the chances of banning late term abortions are more probable, Most Republican politicians could not care less about poor women.They just want them to keep their legs closed.

Being in financial stress is no excuse for being easy. You can still be poor and smart about things. How about preventing poor innocent babies from having their skull crushed and their brain sucked out becuase the woman (and yes obviously the man contributes) was horny at the time.

Yes, this is called "compassionate conservatism". But it never took off and poor women are more likely to get an abortion. If she goes on welfare or WIC, the conservatives condemn her. If she gets an abortion, they abhor her. She can't win.

Those third trimester babies are 4.5 times more likely to be viable
Don't know if that statistic is true or not, but seeing as its the new trend, and it sounds good, I'll follow suit

That late term abortion isn't as rare as you obviously believe it is.
And how do you propose 'helping' poor young women? Is it based on any historical empirical data that is shown to work?

Maybe i'm confused, but it seems to me that prevention is very accessible today. Go to any health dept. They will give you rubbers, and exams, and birth control pills.
We pay taxes to support this. What more can we do to help them not get pg?

Or maybe people should just keep their legs shut?
Just a suggestion.
