The irony is that DOD's pregnancy anti-pregnancy policy will probably lead to more abortions

I've been fascinated by this story that the Pentagon was planning on considering a court martial for women who got pregnant, and the men who helped. At first it sounded outrageous. Then I thought, well it's no different than the what the administration does to gay men and lesbians (two are kicked out every day), even if they don't have sex at all. Then today I realized that by cracking down on pregnancy, you're really providing an incentive for anyone who gets pregnant to get an abortion. Now, I don't have a problem with that, it's up to the woman and her partner to figure that one out. But it is interesting that an administration that is clearly jittery about abortion, as it's one of those "controversial" issues, has a "morals" policy that actually could promote something the right-wing considers immoral.
