Regardless of where you stand on abortion, making it outright illegal or heavily regulated is not really a realistic option. It will still happen, it will just be unregulated, dangerous, etc., etc.

I wish people put as much energy towards foster care, adoption, etc. as they do towards abortion. People tend to not care what happens to the kid as long as it has to be born, which is the issue.

I'd prefer if abortion didn't need to be an option, and if people were just more responsible, but we have to be realistic about it.

The much better route is to encourage contraceptives, make people aware of the financial burdens, provide better tax credits and maternity leave, and a whole slew of things that would be infinitely more legislatively popular and reasonable when enforced.

I'll probably get downvoted for this here, but its the truth.
