[quote user="Clonnie Yearout"]I am not advocating that abortion be outlawed completely. I just honestly wish it occurred with less frequency. I'm not against age appropriate sex education or making birth control available to minors. I wish our society would not treat sex so casually and...

[quote user="Clonnie Yearout"] Dave : "I respectfully challenge you to drop your rhetorical sword... and provide a straight answer to this simple question. In your opinion, are their any circumstances under which it is not only legal but also medically and morally appropriate for a woman...
