I feel like I should add my liberal two cents here: Liberals hate abortion, too. I grew up in Oklahoma, which has the highest teen pregnancy rate of any state, and I happened to grow up in Beckham county, which has the highest teen pregnancy rate in Oklahoma. That doesn't necessarily mean it's the worst in the whole country, but... it's pretty horrible. We're talking 11- and 12-year-olds (yes, plural) with kids. Anyway, sex is a completely taboo subject in Beckham county. It has been proposed several times to put condoms in school bathrooms, or have free condoms available somewhere or offer sex education classes or *something,* *anything* to help curb the problem, but some people are so conservative that they just won't have it.
I am assuming you are conservative because you are pro-life (you can slap me if you want). I just wanted you to know that liberals hate abortion, too. But most of us see it as a small tragedy that will prevent thousands of tragies down the road.
