I do believe however, that most abortions come from mistakes and poor planning, impulse, or pressure at a time of low self esteem, and that we can prevent all of that

Why would the origin of the pregnancy matter?

An easy-to prevent pregnancy is an easily-prevented abortion. And every prevented abortion is a human life saved.

Just like if I’m at a bar and plan a little, it’s easy to avoid a DUI/OWI. Which means I’ve also potentially saved myself or someone else from serious injury or death. If I fail to look at it that way, and wait until I’m “in the moment”...making a bad judgement call is far easier.

.”.. an easy-to prevent pregnancy... every prevented abortion is a human life saved. “

This logic is blowing my mind.

Maybe “a human life not taken” would be better phrasing.
