Is the US govt capable of solving social issues like Abortion?
The real issue is how to deal with an "unplanned/unwanted pregnancy". Should a man be allowed to force a woman to carry his child to term against her will? Should the woman have all the power to determine if a man becomes a father?
I'm not sure if abortion is a social issue or if it's more of a personal issue. The government can only legalize it or make it illegal.
The choice is up to that individual woman. Abortion is only one option. Some men would welcome a birth control pill for men.
Unplanned and unwanted pregnancies have probably been around since the dawn of mankind. I doubt the government can do anything about it. Better and more effective birth control methods would help.
According to the World Health Organization the number of abortions worldwide is {declining} due to increased access to contraception. Almost two thirds of the world's women currently reside in countries where abortion may be obtained on request.
Maybe free birth control medicines and condoms would reduce abortions.

Do you believe in your opinion that in the topic of abortion, the US Government should regulate the procedure or should it be a left to the discretion of the individuals involved? (Please keep it civil and clean guys.)
