I am under the impression that the "topical discussion topic" area is still for topics have somewhat of an evolution/creation connection.On this topic, I'm not going to rush into making my grand statement. Once that statement is made, I intend to make none futher on the topic.Moose------------------

I think that Joz and others have pretty well covered my pro-choice stance on abortion.I add a few comments:Abortion should not be a preferred method of birth control. And if abortion is to be done, the earlier in the pregnancy, the better.I question the wisdom of those (most prominently, the Catholic Church), who are effective in suppressing less offensive birth control methods, and as a result, in a sense, promote abortion.I often wonder how much the "pro-life" perspective cares about the qualities of the lives of the mother and new child, who were somehow persuaded away from abortion.Lastly, is the "pro-life" perspective, in part, promoting more later term abortions, by effectivly suppressing early term abortions?Moose
