free speech right?
i still don't have a conclusive opinion on the topic... both sides have great arguments. i'd love to see some statistics on adoption waiting list times and such though! my mother is a rather strong pro-lifer based on two items: responsibility/accountability for your actions, and the high demand for kids from parents that can't have some of their own. in this day and age of high tech birth control being readily available, one has to admit that in a lot of cases an unwanted pregnancy is just irresponsible... but then again i personally feel the planet doesn't need any more human beings and in some ways keeping them off the playing field saves thousands of lives [smaller ones, perhaps... non-human, without a doubt..].. . . still - someone makes a mistake - should they not pay the consequences? 4 or 5 months of being bloated and sick is perhaps a healthy reminder that the reproductive act isn't just pure fun - there are biological strings attached if you're messing around immaturely. cause & effect.
it would be a tough sort of item to legislate though... very few things seem reasonable, although i would feel that any woman whose age falls under the voting age should have all options available. a full-term pregnancy is a heavy lesson to pay when a scare is probably enough to right improper and irresponsible behavior.
but back to the license plate - whats so bad about it? people should be able to display whatever ideology they wish to as long as it isn't bloody stupid [and that's for the courts to decide, as they say].
anyhow, just some thoughts... as i said, i really don't have a concrete stance on the topic... but i do feel that women should be accountable with such a heavy matter.
