MSNBC had a rare news story about abortion today.  It was a pretty long article, and a first glance would make it look unbiased.  But the whole gist of it was that the women who are having abortions in America today are actually women who are making the most prudent decision they can, because they already have 1 or more children to take care of, and they are economically disadvantaged.  Over and over they make this point. 

What the text of the article completely ignores is the statistic on their own chart which reads that 82.2% of these women are unmarried.  Unmarried, and they already have at least 1 child.  So the author of this article is trying to convince all of us that women are “prudent” when they choose to have an abortion, while neglecting to mention the complete imprudence of an unmarried woman trying to get her life together so she can raise a child having extramarital intercourse.

If our society really wants to help raise the bar for women, we need to help our young women have the knowledge & courage to remain chaste while they are pursuing their dreams.  OBVIOUSLY the vast majority of men who get them pregnant are not choosing to do their part in the raising of their illegitimate offspring.
