re: Why is abortion such a huge deal?

Right there with ya. In a sane world abortions don't even exist outside of rare circumstances.

Even at the height of my teenage dumbassery hook ups, I never dropped the boys off in the pool because I knew my future would be over. Birth control and condoms are so accessible now that it is even more dumb to think people are just raw dogging and relying on abortions to take care of the consequences.

I also think abortion is far down on the list of priorities facing life. Let's focus on improving the living conditions of the children already born first.

Go take a drive through trailerhouse rural America or the inner city ghettos and see how kids are living there. Now imagine injecting more unwanted kids into these living situations that are already untenable, not to mention the added burden on the state and us, the taxpayers, in a futile attempt to take care of them.

Just a shitty situation all around. There's no legislating the problem away.
