some may argue that a foetus is a potential body and aborting it means killing it without its consent. I don't really have a stance on abortion but I'm all for sexual education and protection to cut down on it. yet, a foetus is incapable of giving consent, considering it has no functional brain to think with, so any decisions regarding it transfer to its nearest relative, i.e. the woman who's body it is inhabiting. much the same as sending an animal to slaughter. an animal is incapable of giving consent for its own killing, so that transfers to its owner. i agree with you on the education thing, the amount of ignorance out there about sex and contraception is astounding. i personally believe that contraception should be free at point of use for everyone.
