I mean, or you could sterilize men. That's much easier and takes less of a toll on their bodies.

Nobody is in favor of abortion. What I am in favor of is making the best of a bad situation. Do I wish that we had GATTACA levels of technology, and anyone could have their bad genes corrected so that their baby doesn't get Tay-Sachs or Harlequin ichthyosis, and we don't have to have this discussion. But we're not there yet.

I'm not saying it's a sunshine and rainbows solution. I am trying to say it reduces suffering that's inflicted upon hours old infants.
