Re: Agency in the Story

The idea of having society work together to keep abortions "safe, legal, and rare" is in the platform of the DNC; I assumed that since it represents a sizeable percentage of pro-abortion-choice Americans, it would not be associated with me personally.

As for the agency & moral choice part, I will attempt to re-phrase previous statements to be clearer: if people are in a situation where they feel that if they don't get an abortion, then they will suffer tremendously, we ought to do something as a society to help (i.e. I think we should be concerned that such apparently violent brothers are free to exercise such control over the sister and her boyfriend). As evidenced by earlier posts here, I would certainly agree that social justice dictates that alleviating poverty is a concern, and add that this is a top priority and most other issues will be difficult, if not impossible, to resolve until such is done.
