Or at least, that is acceptable logic now for the youth, who want to be “responsible” by using birth control, but don’t want to be responsible enough to pay for it:

Not only does this rhetoric contradict the idea that a baby is “just a tissue or blob of cells” as is regularly stated (why would it be a moral choice if it is just a tissue? Is having your tonsils removed a moral choice?), but it simply isn’t true. People want more abortion in the name of sexual “freedom”:
