Okay, so apparently you do believe in abortion -- that it is sometimes necessary and not murder.  That only leaves the question of who gets to make these very personal, life and death decisions -- the government or the woman and her doctor?  

Personally, I trust women to make their own medical decisions.  Circumstantial legislation such as you seem to be advocating does nothing but ensure that women suffer and die needlessly.  It doesn't work.  

Everything you've been saying about abortion being in "vogue" and women going around having them "without remorse" is simply malicious propaganda that is completely beside the point and highly offensive, which is one of the reasons you've gotten the sort of response you have.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

"make their own medical decisions"  - - - only a small percentage of abortions are for reasons affecting the women's health, rape, or incest. Most are for reasons of inconvenience.

"Circumstantial legislation such as you seem to be advocating"  - - - actually I am not advocating any legal changes - only personal responsibility, better education, and better options.
