Dwindling resources and all.

If it comes to that, I promise you I'll look the other way.

In all seriousness, though, I get what you're saying. I think the most difficult time I have with anyone advocating making abortion illegal is that is all they advocate for. I would be closer (though not entirely there) to accepting the idea of making "abortions of convenience" illegal if the people advocating to do so were also advocating for better sex education, access to reproductive healthcare (including, but not limited to, contraceptives), increased monetary support for families, and better fiscal support for our foster/adoption services. Without those things making abortion illegal will do nothing but increase the number of "back alley abortions," impoverished families, and put additional burden on an already overwhelmed foster system.

Actually, it's more like 2nd Amendment opponents would disagree with my logic since they're the ones that think more gun control and less guns will equal less gun deaths. But, anyway ...

I do agree that there is certainly more that can be done in preventing unwanted pregnancies.
