An insightful article...
Sorry for all the posts, but I love StumbleUpon XD I came across this article on abortion, so I decided to post it because I thought it was very informative and powerful. Pro-forced-birth is perhaps the best term I've ever heard.

I also recommend reading the comments. This one was my favorite:
"When I was in Thailand, (where abortion is illegal, but 'the pill' and other contraceptives are over the counter and readily available) I read an article in the paper from an anonymous abortion doctor. S/He said that over half of the abortions s/he performs are from Muslim women who have been raped and fear for their physical safety if anyone finds out they are no longer virginal. (Apparently being knocked up is a good indication of such.) After that, the second highest group of women were again Muslim and married, but couldn't keep birth control in the house because their husband forbids it.
So yeah, this shows me that abortion is the only lifeline some women have in deciding their reproductive future. Without it, they are just incubators with legs."
