Trade-offs

Paul:
I oppose abortion because it is MURDER.

By that logic, an abortion prevented is a murder prevented and, thus, a worthy moral goal, correct?

If handing out condoms or birth control pills to teenagers prevented an unwanted pregnancy from being terminated, would you do it?

If it prevented the murder of even one unborn child, would pro-lifers demand that sex education include an honest assessment of the advantages and drawbacks of the full range of contraceptive methods?

Preventing even one murder is worthwhile, right?
