In a recent conversation with a fellow pro-lifer, we were discussing Clinton’s "Safe, Legal, and Rare" position on abortion. He said (and is welcome to correct me if I am misquoting him) he thinks abortion should be "safe, illegal, and very rare". Now, the point of this post is "is that possible"? I would say that it would be very difficult for that to happen, if not impossible. Before you comment, though, here’s what this post is not about. It’s not about whether abortion should be legal or if it’s right. It’s not about whether abortion can ever be safe for the baby. My point is that, while it is legal, abortion is not very well regulated. How could it ever be safe (let’s ignore the post-abortion trauma for a minute) for the mother if it is even less regulated (aka if it was illegal)? I’m not advocating legal abortion, but proposing that the position of "safe, illegal, and very rare" is not practical.
