Should abortion be legal in Australia?

On the one hand, there are plenty of contraceptive measures, including the implanon rod which is a minor proceedure performed by a GP and lasts for three years. There's condom's. There's the pill. And if you have a slip up? There's the morning after pill (despite being labelled "morning after" the woman actually has up to 48 hours, or 2 days, to take it).

Given all these things, an unplanned pregnancy is easy to avoid.

The cons of course are that the women who are so stupid, despite the plethora of options open to them, to have an unplanned pregnancy, are precisely the type of women we don't want breeding. Mum and bub's will cost us more in the long term, both monetarily, and likely socially (jails, child protection, welfare, youth justice, etc).

But should your taxes fund this? How do you feel about funding McDrive Through Abortions?

It should be complexity for certain groups

Especially those without jobs living on welfare

Yes but for the slow learner at the back of the class...should it be?

Not sure about Qld but in NSW it's legal status is no impediment to having the procedure done.

So your vote is “yes but only in certain circumstances.”

Thanks for playing, Greg.

No.

Shouldn't this be in the Womens Issues Forum?

Agreed. We should pay them to have abortions.
