Oklahoma laws on abortion

I don't even care if abortions are used as expensive, dangerous, birth control. Being stupid is not illegal, and messing with these few people would negatively impact the majority that choose it as a traumatic last resort.

I do care, Flyn.

I'd like to debunk the disgusting stereotype that everyone who is pro-choice is pro-killing babies, or that we think any woman can just abort a baby every time she has a one night stand and gets knocked up.

That's just not so. Pro-choice means you believe that a woman should have a choice. It's a very hard choice. I cannot judge a woman in that position, because I've never been in it, and hope I never find myself in that position of an unexpected pregnancy.

Holy crap, I agree! *faints*

Using it as birth control is stupid and horrible, BUT, that's by far the minority, so in order to leave it available to the people who use it as it's intended, we put up with the abuses. Banning abortions to prevent use as birth control would be like getting rid of unemployment benefits because a few people abuse the system. The good it does outweighs the... I was gonna say "evils" but it's not even evil. Just the actions of those using it in a manner other than intended.
