"I do n't think pro-choicers in general care whether or not abortion is truly rare . If they did they would put more effort into making sure it is rare , and not just legal ."
"I know you 're talking to Jessica , so I will only comment on this . It would be easier to make it rare if pro-life people were n't intent on making it illegal . Pro-choice people have to make it as available as possible to counter pro-life attempts to shut it down entirely . If pro-life people did n't exist , then the reasonable people could work towards making abortion rare . Take the current debates for example . My entire point is that it should not be illegal . That abortion should be available as a safe and legal choice ( it can only be really safe if it 's legal ) . We spend all our time and effort debating the legality that we spend no time on creating programs to help women choose to continue their pregnancies instead of having an abortion , legal or not ."
