Has anyone stopped to think about the number of people added to the population if abortion were prohibited and how many of them would not be able to support a life?

I don't disagree with this post at all, but it seems like a 180 degree turn from your post on abortion I read yesterday.

Did I misunderstand the post I read yesterday? Am I misunderstanding this post? You're obviously not obligated, but if you wouldn't mind explaining, I would be appreciative.
