X% (some high number) of people use contraceptives, and<br /><br />2.) the best way to reduce the abortion rate is via promoting contraceptive use.<br /><br />Pick one. It's possible that neither one is true, but they certainly BOTH can't be true.bmmg39@aol.comhttp://www.benevolentgrammarian.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737469.post-21324462989736288502010-03-08T11:40:42.619-08:002010-03-08T11:40:42.619-08:00Why is that a much better analogy?

As well as making sure women who decide to keep their babies get ample assistance if they can't afford diapers or formula, can complete their education (putting day cares in high schools and colleges), and can have a career when they graduate (putting day cares in offices and subsidizing day care for women who don't make enough to afford it).<br /><br />That's a much better analogy.random acts of violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194079068680480908noreply@blogger.com
