"Janet Baraclough.." wrote in message ... The message from "Vox Humana" contains these words: "Janet Baraclough.." wrote in message ... Maybe if people didn't turn a medical procedure into a moralist, judgmental battle it wouldn't be so traumatic. In the UK, contraception and abortion are available from both the National Health Service (free) and private clinics. There's a nationwide educational policy of teaching sex-education including contraception in schools. Abortion isn't a political-party issue at government level.(Though of course, there are many objectors at grass roots level). It might not involve a moralist judgemental battle here to the extent you suggest in the USA, but I suspect to most women abortion is still more of an emotional and personal trauma than other "medical procedures". All women seeking an abortion are supposedly counselled first. I don't think abortion should be used as a contraceptive method, but only because there are far less invasive methods available. Unfortunately, the very same people who have made the prohibition of abortion their raison d'être also want to ban any discussion of birth control methods, particularly if that discussion takes place in a school. Thank to idiots like George Bush, people are being subjected to the ridiculous "abstinence only" approach to sexuality. Is that called the silver-ring pledge or some such? They've been on a mission over here fairly recently but I don't know what reception they got. I don't know about "silver-ring" but I can assure you that it is George Bush's "silver lining" when it comes to generating votes among his fundamentalist base. There are only two issues that concern the religious right - sex, and sex. |
