Imagine his shock when he learns that this involvement generally extends to a comprehensive sexual education designed to prevent ever getting to the stage where an abortion is necessary. It's no coincidence that the rate of abortions among populations that teach abstinence only education is so high, nor that a similar correlation can be drawn between religious conservatism and higher rates of abortions and teen pregnancy too. GC can point out his perceived inconsistencies all he likes, but there's the real inconsistency; the chances of ever being in an underage abortion situation, as a parent, is reduced if that parent is an atheist simply by dint of atheists being more inclined to proper sex education.
Indeed. And I'm convinced that American Christians are so dead-set against sex ed precisely because once a woman controls her body, she has declared independence. And they detest that.
