A random thought on "abortion"
The middle-of-the-road position in the West is
"Abortions should be safe, legal and rare"
But if it is going to be safe and legal, how will you ensure it will remain rare?
It is only religion that can keep it rare despite it being safe and legal

100 years ago it was hard for an unmarried woman to remain "respectable" after giving birth to a child
As the word "bastard" has gone completely out of use, it should ideally have been accompanied by a greater outrage against abortion!
