If you are supporting abstinence based love education and being against abortion then it appears to me that you are supporting two mutually exclusive positions. If you believe that abortion is wrong, then you would probably be in favor of reducing the abortion rate. Simply banning abortion doesn't fix the problem. It's like putting a bucket under a leaky pipe. Abortion has been around for thousands of years and making it illegal will just move it into underground clinics or alleys, or force people to try home remedies to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, all of which are potentially quite dangerous. Reducing the frequency of unwanted pregnancies will consequently reduce the rate of abortions. If something is shown to reduce the rate of unwanted pregnancies then you should be in favor of it then on the grounds of it being consistent with your goal of reducing abortions. It has been documented in the real world that communities with love education covering safe love and contraceptives have fewer unwanted teenage pregnancies than communities using solely abstinence only based love education. Therefore you should not support abstinence based love education if you also do not think people should be able to get abortions.

There's a name for this effect which I forget. You know, banning something causes it to be more prevalent/dangerous. *bolts to Google*

considering i am a dude who likes boning other dudes it would be very weird for me to be homophobic

Also hiding behind "WHAT IF SHE GOT RAPED????" is a terrible excuse for an argument and is a pathetic scenario to use in any argument, lol.


Also, according to the Alan-Gutmacher institution, only 1% of abortions are due to rape.

Alot of articles say that little to no abortions are caused by rape.

You can't attack it because insulting family men is just as dumb as being one.

complete this sentence: discrimination against people simply because of who they want to bone or be boned by is just as bad as discriminating against people who seek to limit the rights of people based on who they want to bone or be boned by is bad because ________________
