is there anyone else who is pro-life AND pro-gay rights, or is it just me?

It just seems to me that the issue of abortion is so peppered with legitimate physical health and psychological issues that it's virtually impossible to restrict it legally without causing someone serious injury in one form or another. I think most people would agree with the concern that too many abortions are based on decisions of convenience, so it's probably fair to say that this is largely an issue of educating the public about the potential consequences of irresponsible sex, about what abortion does to a fetus and mother, about what childbirth does to a mother, about contraception, about adoption, etc. No solution I've ever heard will be perfect, but the more we can find ways to guide people towards making responsible, mature decisions about the specific, personal situations they find themselves in, the more long-term positive affects we'll see. Simply legislating things like this just won't cut it in my opinion.
