It's been my experience that conservative parents, like the Catholic Education System, are absolutely wonderful at creating irreligious liberal adults.

Despite the mainstream acceptance that the morning after pill prevents implantation, and the looney-tunes antichoicer belief that it's an abortion pill, the morning after pill doesn't prevent implantation of a fertilized egg, it prevents ovulation. There's no evidence to suggest that it prevents implantation better than the woman's uterus, whether or not she's on the pill.

@26,

Given the way adoption worked in the days before Roe, I find it easy to be against adoption. Single mothers had their children taken away from them, often with the argument that simply having sex outside of marriage was enough evidence to prove that they were deficient mothers. Then there were the institutions where girls and women were sent to give birth; they were, more often than not, not allowed to so much as see their babies before those babies were handed off to a nice rich couple. That kind of treatment didn't just happen in Ireland in the Magdalene laundries; it happened here in the U.S. too and is a direct result of women's choices not being respected or honored.

Then there's the fact that such antichoice douchebags as Randall Terry became antichoice activists because there was a lack of healthy white babies for them to adopt. Plenty of prospective adoptive parents see themselves as entitled to someone else's child, to the point that the adoption industry in the Third World can be extremely ugly, with children being taken away from their mothers, against the mothers' wishes, to give to rich white Americans.

So, in other words, fuck adoption.

Nothing makes you pro-choice faster than an inconvenient, unplanned pregnancy, amiright? Or a malformed, non-viable fetus (because sometimes shit happens).
I see a crowd of young people who are *more*-likely to have an abortion in the next few years than "damn educated liberals" like myself who know how to use birth control. Like someone said above, it's not about reducing the number of abortions, otherwise idiots such as these would embrace blue-state policies of comprehensive sex education, easy access to birth control (and the morning-after pill*), prenatal care for mothers who want to carry the baby to term, post-natal daycare for young mothers who want to stay in school and comprehensive health care for all families.

*Personally, I'd prefer that an abortion happen as early after fertilization as possible.
