How about not evading the questions I've asked you?

It's hardly the right answer to the question as to whether Republican
policies have led to certain states having a higher teen pregnancy
rate.

It was just a page that makes a nonsense of Doc's assertation that it's
good logic to abort babies and have immigrants, the birth rate of
immigrants in the UK is much higher than the British birth rates.

That is beside the point, the point I'm making to Dave is that it's ironic
that the Democrats support increasing the population by immigration
and support decreasing the population by the destruction of unborn
children.

As for women having the right to choose abortion, they also have the
right to choose to use their commonsense and choose the pill, the
coil, condoms, IUS, contraceptive injection ect. It's called being
responsible for oneself, a strange concept to many people these days.

As for rape victims, have you never heard of the morning after pill,
it can be used up to 3 days after sex.

Quite correct, that's what I'm explaining to Dave, differing teen pregnancy
in blue and red states is caused by various factors (one of the most
prominent seems to be race) and not so much by the fact that they happen to
be Rep. or Dem.

You have more commonsense than most people, Les.

I don't think population growth enters into the Democrats' position on
these issues.
