I agree with the Vatican on this one; if you're going to prevent women from accessing abortion services, you'd either better be ready to provide post-birth services for them or stop calling yourself pro-life....

 
Oh no! Women don’t spontaneously become pregnant because a law is changed. You have to be a willing to pick a partner, take off your clothes, spread those legs open and proceed with actions that get you pregnant! The only ones responsible after making all those decisions is you and your partner.

Now if charities or individuals think they should help with the money they earned more power to you.
 
And has the Vatican seen who is the most generous group of people in America. It’s Christian conservatives/republicans.

This is true; churches are some of the generous places around in terms of assisting others.

Now does that eliminate the need for government to step in? Not in every circumstance but its lessens what they do have to support, which is a good thing.

We just opened the door to Unsafe Abortions and other alternative methods. They legalized Abortion in 1973 for the reason alone that women fought tooth and nail for their right to choose whether or not they wanted to have children. They didn't let these laws stop them. History is going to repeat itself. It didn't work than and it certainly won't work now. If a woman wants an abortion bad enough, they will go out of their way to make that happen.

Even after abortions became illegal, women continued to have them; they just weren’t advertised the same way. Practitioners did their work behind closed doors or in private homes. Or women without means resorted to desperate – and often dangerous or deadly – measures.

At times, abortion rates increased in the face of the law. The Depression was a perfect example.

Specialists passed out business cards and opened up clinics, Reagan explained, and nobody bothered them. In that era, abortion wasn’t seen as a women’s issue, it was an economic issue.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the estimated number of illegal abortions ranged from 200,000 to 1.2 million per year, according to the Guttmacher Institute.

Inspired by the civil rights and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement gained steam in the 1960s – and reproductive rights took center stage.
In the late 1960s, before abortion was legalized again in the United States, concerned pastors and rabbis set up the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion to help women find safe illegal abortions.

An underground abortion service also was established by feminists in Chicago. The Abortion Counseling Service of the Chicago Women’s Liberation Union, better known by the code name Jane, helped provide safe, supportive and affordable illegal abortions – at first just through referrals. But then trained members began performing procedures themselves. Between 1969 and 1973, the members of the group provided more than 11,000 safe abortions, according to Laura Kaplan, author of “The Story of Jane.”
