Doug Bandow on "selective reduction

Yet abortion really is not about choice. It is about consequence. The consequences of choices freely made.

Consider Richards. She chose to have sex with someone. She chose to go off the pill. Choices appropriately left to her, unregulated by government.

But having enjoyed the freedom to make those choices, she wanted to avoid responsibility for the results: becoming pregnant with triplets.

If you want the right to choose to have sex with whomever you want whenever you want, you can't act surprised when a child (or children) shows up. Especially if you knowingly dropped birth control.

...But accountability is fundamental, especially for a society that claims to be both free and good."
