The problem with the pro-life ideal are its principals. RU-486 should be standard everywhere. But to pro-life, RU-486 only promotes promiscutity. RU-486 could not be obtained in America.
Don't teach about sex in schools. Kids are less promiscuous when they are ignorant. Right.
Abortion is then the inevitable alternative especially when religion (and quotes from the bible) rather than logic are more important. The pro-life movement, in particular its underlying philosphies, are a significant reason for the problems. It is a problem so often traced to religion that worship false idols - as the Greek and Roman religions did previously.
