It is disappointing that evil truly has become perceived as good to some people, but I'm not surprised. Steve, you make a really good (and depressing) point.

During the '60s, it was very true that a woman had few options if she were pregnant, and even fewer options to not get pregnant in the first place. Now, we recognise not only that abortion doesn't solve any problem for her, but we give woman real choices. This is not 1958. There is contraception galore, equality statutes which prohibit discrimination against pregnant women, WIC, Medicaid... heck, my fingers would fall off my hands before I finished typing up everything we do for pregnant women now. ...and it hasn't made a dent in the abortion rate. I think that the younger generation sees this and acknowledges that there comes a time when you just have to say, "Take responsibility for yourself; you have the tools to do so." In many ways, the current teenagers are really seeing the fallout from the 1970s free love theory. Divorce, unwed motherhood, the feminisation of poverty, rampant STDs despite condoms everywhere, destruction of young people's psyches from early intercourse - again, fingers would fall off if typed it all up - and they are shifting to the right. Apparently, we really did need to test civilisation to see if it was really worthwhile. Sigh.
