Waiting six months, and then showing up to have an abortion is idiotic. She should be sterilized.
But if life beings at conception, isn't post-rape sterilization the same as abortion, if she happens to be pregnant?
I suspect that a whole lot of women these days would jump at the chance to be freed from the onerous task of being responsible for utilizing any and all forms of contraception. Instead of going through a quite burdensome process of killing and extracting a dead baby from their body repeatedly, how many would love to have one simple out patient surgery that allows them to have all the worry free sex they could ever want?
Think of the savings in time, and money this would produce, along with the exponential reduction in hundreds of thousands of abortions. Over time, we're talking about millions upon millions of abortions that would never happen; a win/win.
I agree completely. And I think not only that it should be free, it should be
incentivized by the government. Or, at least, the incentives that come with having children should be removed - no tax breaks, no free child care, not even "parent and child" parking spaces.
If you can't afford children off your own back, you don't get to have them, IMO.
