Reply #19: I would support the legalisation of RU-486 [View All]

[ludwigb]

and other "morning after" techniques--I don't think supporting that would hurt us. But legalisation of RU-486 will not end abortion altogether.

This rings up another point--clinical abortion may soon become technologically obsolete. It may soon be possible for women to put together a "home abortion kit". This sounds scary, but it may well become totally safe.

Given this, how many more electoral defeats are we willing to suffer because of this issue? And more importantly, how many unpoliticized voters might become politized if we experiment with or publically consider criminalization?
