Domestic Issues - Abortion

Make abortion undesirable by providing healthcare, family planning services, well-managed adoption programs, education and child care, a living wage, and justice. Offer your hand, and people will choose life. As for moral edge-cases like the doctor saving the mother's life, we support the right of human beings to make difficult decisions in service of life to the best of their abilities when those decisions are presented by the face of death. Outside of these cases, regardless of our individual views on personal rights, we maintain that abortion is never a good choice in the wealthiest country in the world. We believe it is possible to construct a society in which abortion is not absolutely prohibited by law, but no one wants one. We seek to resolve real-world problems to decrease demand for abortion, and not to divide people with our religious views.

As sad and difficult as such cases are, I personally think that women should hold their anger at bay in decisions about abortion after rape or incest, because if the baby were born, it would not be the baby's fault. As a society, what we need to do is work toward openness, equal rights and justice so that rape and incest don't happen.
