Livre d'Or

In general, I don't think it's a good idea to impose one's views on other people (beyond the absolute minimum necessary for civilized society). But I also have the impression that in the fervour of the pro choice movement to insist that only the particular pregnant woman can decide whether to keep the pregnancy is getting in the way of creating a framework in which the need for abortion can be reduced. This is because avoiding abortion is seen as the province of the evil pro life movement, not because most choicers actually think abortion is a good thing.

If abortion should be illegal, which I'm really not sure about, there certainly needs to be a better reason than "because I think it's wrong". A major reason I'm not a fervent supporter of legal compulsion is that it patently doesn't work to prevent abortions, mind you.
