Once a woman's pregnant, the damage has been done.
Children are "damage" ??? That's a worrisome way of
looking at your fellow human beings.
In the abortion debate, both sides should focus on the use of birth
control, before a pregnancy occurs.
If people use two forms of birth control there is virtually no risk of
pregnancy.
Hormonal & Condoms
Hormonal & Pull-Out
Hormonal & Diaphragm
Condoms & Pull-Out
Condoms & Diaphragm
Diaphragm & Pull-Out
Risk of accidental pregnancy BEST case scenario assuming PERFECT use
Per Year (assuming 100 sex acts) Per Act
No protection 8 in 10 (1 in 1.25) 1 in 125
Condoms 1 in 50 1 in 5,000
Birth Control 1 in 333 1 in 33,300
Condoms & Birth Control 1 in 1,665,000 1 in 166,500,000
Given 100,000,000 women of child bearing age (ages 14-59),
Unplanned pregnancies result: 100,000,000/1,665,000= 60
Most of the 'anti-abortion' fanatics I encounter are just
using "abortion" as a proxy for a more general erotophobic
attitude. They'd rather people (except maybe themselves)
simply NOT HAVE ANY SEX. It's the old definition of a
'puritan' here, someone who lies awake at night worried
that somebody, somewhere, might be having a good time.
They equate pain and self-denial with "superiority" and
"holiness". Some kind of mental illness IMHO ...
In any case, in this light, discussion of effective
contraception with the anti-abortionists will yeild
a response opposite to what you may expect. To them,
contraceptives = "sex for fun" and fun is BAD. Better
to scourge youself with a cat-o-nine-tails whilst
quoting scripture ...
You are obviously young.
