I think everyone -- on both sides of the abortion debate -- can agree that the practice itself is distasteful. Unfortunately, legal abortions are a necessary evil in society. Just like the narcotics and prostitution trades, demand for pregnancy termination services will always exist. Better those services be provided in a safe and sanitary environment by trained medical professionals than by shady characters with coat hangers in the proverbial back alley.

This is how I feel too...but I have a real problem when people throw their support behind partial birth abortion simply because it is still abortion. When is partial birth abortion necessary? Serious question.

Abortion, to me, is not a black and white issue. There are degrees at which I find it acceptable and necessary. There are degrees at which I think it's a very lazy and irresponsible form of birth control. I don't see why there shouldn't be restrictions on those kinds of abortions. Can someone explain why other than the normal "It's my body my choice" garbage that gets spewed?
