1. Fetal heart beats can be dectected at five weeks, Many PCO women with irregular periods won't even know they are pregnant yet.

2. Show me a society where women are not allowed abortions and look at the status of 50% of that population. It is part of a societal evolution. When women shed the yolk of reproductive tyranny, she is allowed to be an equal partner in contributions to society. When we are not defined by our reproduction, we are people, not vassals for offsprings. In addition, once abortion is not allowed, you allow many other forms of birth control to slide into the "abortion" catagory eg. IUDS which don't allow fetuses to implant.

3. Abortions will happen anyway. It is why WHO promotes legalized abortion. It is a public health imperative that abortions be legal and safe.

4.. I take care of lots of women who get pregnant missing one pill or on the pill or a IUD that migrated out of position.

4. If you are against abortion, you better be willing to pay for more medicaid and for the health insurance of that child till they are 18. No-one I know who opposes abortion can offer a solution to the 17 yr old on how to pay for child care and health care of her child while she trys to finish her education and find a job. You also better be willing to adopt minority children. In georgia, there are 3 white babies available for adoption every month vs. 100s of black babies. My twin sister put her action with her ideals, she adopted a black baby.

5. I notice everyone who opposes abortion is not Pro-life, the are pro-fetus. Once they are born, they think nothing of sending the child off to a war. They don't care about helping the mom take care of that child since welfare is not a popular remedy. Only when we subsidize child care and health care for every child , once white couples other than gay couples or progressive ones like my sister adopts minority children, can we eliminate abortion since a mother no longer has to agonize about that.
