focus on the family wants abortion rights advocates to make abortion less common

[niyad]

(focus, aka fungus, sounds oh-so-sweet and civil, don't they? let's see--trying to eliminate sex education, restrict contraception, but, we want to make abortions less common. by the way, daly, exactly WHAT are you doing for all the babies that ARE born? nothing)

Focus' Daly wants abortion-rights advocates to help make abortion less common


Focus on the Family president Jim Daly on Friday said he will bridge a great divide by asking abortion-rights advocates to work with his conservative Christian ministry to make abortion less common.

Reproductive-rights supporters say they want abortion to be legal, safe and rare, Daly said, and so his Colorado Springs-based media powerhouse will try to walk that common ground with them — lessening demand for abortion.

The “let’s talk” offer to reproductive-rights groups signals a sea change in Focus’ uncompromising approach to the abortion issue. It is bound to engender controversy about whether detente advances or hinders Daly’s ultimate goal of making abortion illegal.

. . . . . .

In the meantime, Daly said, he wants to work with people who may disagree with Focus but with whom “we can eliminate 10,000, 20,000 or 30,000 of 1.2 million babies lost every year.”

The 1.2 million figure, reported in 2008 by the Guttmacher Institute, originally a division of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, is widely accepted by both abortion-rights advocates and abortion foes.

1. Here's how.

Support Planned Parenthood.

Make sure every woman has access to free and affordable birth control,
morning after pills, and reproductive healthcare as needed.

Then make sure that every woman has the opportunity to gain financial
independence through education, job opportunities, and equal and fair pay.

that needs to be addressed. won't help to support pp if they manage to destroy it, restrict contraception, and basically reduce women to chattel again.

Good response. Too bad Focus on the Family won't take any heed of it (probably not even if Jesus Christ made the same recommendation). :eyes:
