Supports
Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court Decision that
legalized Abortion in the United States, because the History
of ILLEGAL
Abortion clearly shows us that it didn't stop desperate determined
women from having an abortion but it did make abortion
more
dangerous to women's health and life. Most women who died
when
abortion was illegal - died from self-induced abortion.
|
|
|
Supports
reducing the number of abortion performed in the United
States by reducing the number of unintended pregnancies through:
|
|
|
1.
Abstinence-based age-appropriate comprehensive
sex education in schools
2. More birth control research
3. Better birth control availability - including health insurance
coverage
of prescription female birth control
4. Men and Condoms - IF used correctly and consistently
(100% of the
time) LATEX Condoms are 98% effective in preventing pregnancy,
HIV, Bacterial STD's and offers some protection against viral
STD's.
