At this point I would have to ask your age. I would guess you were born well after the beginning of the *Great Society*. That is when out of wedlock birthrates began do increase, when the government told the masses, we will take care of your babies, women began to feel there was no need for a man in the house, a bread winner. Children started growing up without a male role model and authority figure in the house and crime started ramping up. Out of wedlock birth rates in the black community today near 80% and about 40 % in white homes, the last I read. This was unheard of before the beginning of the *Great Society*. That's funny because I was going to ask your age as well based on some of your comments (BTW, I like discussing things with you because no matter how much we might disagree you are alway pleasant and civil. I think this is one of the things I like most about FFL now - everyone can speak their mind without the peanut gallery inciting dissension by misrepresenting every viewpoint and consequently skewing discussions until hey resemble nothing but juvenile pie throwing contests). I was born in 1956 so that makes me much older than you think. In addition, I have never had an abortion nor do I have any children (by definite choice). When my husband and I were married he had already been married before and had had a vasectomy (he is 7 years older than I am) and if we were going to have children together he was going to have to have the vasectomy reversed but much to his relief I told him I had no desire for children. But before that I would have had many opportunities to have gotten pregnant but I was pretty careful. Would I have had an abortion if I had gotten pregnant? I'm not absolutely sure but it seems likely that I would have.
