The abortion rate is at an all-time low — and better birth control is largely to thank. Use of contraception, especially the most effective methods like IUDs and implants, did much more to reduce abortion rates than restrictive laws.

It's using science to abuse nature and that shit is just weird to me.

I think you're getting the kind of downvotes you are because of statements like that one. A dam could also be seen as an abuse of nature (the river) by science (engineering), but the odds that you've ever once thought of a river dam as weird or an abuse of nature are pretty slim.

When you're having a debate about people's very personal choices, a debate that in different rooms full of different people could result in a drastic changes to the choices you are legally able to make, you need to have an educated view, and you should examine your ideas to see if they are sound.

That's the case for any strongly held belief or opinion you have, anywhere, any day, about any thing: Try and dig down, be honest with yourself, learn what you don't already know, examine yourself for hypocrisy, and see how sound your ideas really are under that kind of internal scrutiny.

It's not just that your opinion is unpopular, it's also unexamined by you. Clothes are unnatural, chess is unnatural, vaccines are unnatural. Must they all have their negative effects?
