- Less common than they are now. I can think of a few great
- ways to make abortion rare, without persecuting women by
- making it illegal:
-
- 1. Better access to better birth control.
- 2. Better sex education.
- 3. Improved pre-natal care for poor women.
- 4. Improved access to day care for women with children.
- 5. Job training for women with small children.
-
- The approach is simple: prevent unwanted pregnancies, and
- remove the circumstances that make women decide to choose
- abortion. Prevention is by far the most cost-effective method.
- The others are more expensive, but I'm sure you won't mind
- paying for them.
