What the SD rejection of an abortion ban means
Barone balances the people voting against an absolute ban on abortions in S.D. and the election of Bob Casey Jr, whose father bucked the Democrats openly against abortion.
Most people are pro life, but recognize that there are severe reasons where abortion might be the lesser of two evils.
Or as one pious Catholic doctor said: I am against abortion, but if my teenaged daughter was raped, I want the option open.
The problem is that most abortions are merely convenient, often done due to careless women not using birth control, promiscuity, or that the child is inconvenient for the boyfriend.
The prolife movement has to offer the mother alternatives (and many people involved in the movement do).
We also need to start talking about sex: That sex is a good thing, but that waiting for sex with the right person is what makes it good, and why God established marriage as a way for spouses to help each other in life and in salvation.
