After abortion
"We should be looking at other measures to decide whether the grand utopian experiment of abortion has yielded a positive dividend.
Are marriages stronger? Have suicide rates declined? Do fewer people suffer from depression and anxiety disorders? Has substance abuse declined? Are women expressing high rates of satisfaction with their careers and family life? Has sexual harrassment declined? Domestic violence? Stalking?
With a whole generation of wanted children--have the rates of emotional, physical and sexual abuse of children declined? Are these children receiving superb educations--better than the educations available in the 60s and 70s? Do their parents stay together, protect them, and provide for their mental, emotional and physical needs?"
Don't diss the people who've been there.
