I grew up in high school with abstinence-only sex ed, rare access to birth control and a bunch of rumors about "pulling out" and period sex preventing pregnancy. No condom lessons at all, just scare videos on STIs. A number of teen pregnancies happened in that school, though I only knew the ones carrying to term.
I am not sure what they has to do with Safe, Legal and Rare.
This motto that was the foundation of the Pro-Choice movement has nothing to do with abstinence-only sex ed.
One of the things that has been losing support and making the issue more polarizing is the fact that many in the Pro-Choice movement have moved to a Pro-Abortion movement wanting to celebrate abortion, and to use abortion as a primary means of birth control instead of a rare occurrence when other methods failed or were not an options.
Also the raise in support for 2nd and 3rd trimester abortions has not helped the Pro-Choice movement, the public when surveyed have an almost (something like 80%) distaste for 3rd trimester and only a slightly more favorable view of 2nd trimester abortions. While they are medically rare, extremely rare, politics is about optics and perception, the Pro-Choice movement is not winning any hearts and minds by supporting those.
//For the record I am very much in the "Safe, Legal and Rare" camp, I oppose celebrating abortion or making it something that should be viewed as a primarily birth control method, I also define life as starting "when the fetus could medically survive outside the womb with normal feeding and care" at which point only medically necessarily abortions should be legal as decided by a medical professional
My wife had to abort due to an etopic pregnancy. Nothing to due about it, would have killed them both. Still bothers us.
My daughter was supposed to be a twin, the other didn’t make it. That really hurts.
I can understand arguments about first few weeks.
People that support giving birth to the baby then killing it. Well, they are the worst sort of killer imaginable.
The "rare" part. Due to bad sex ed and hurdles to get birth control, there were a lot of teen pregnancies. It's not Clinton's fault, it was bad state policy.
