The dark side of the abortion battle

the women I know dont have any unwanted pregnancies...what is it you think you are doing wrong?

Despite your assumptions, I have never been pregnant.

I'm not doing anything "wrong".

😂😂😂...oh my

Do you have a clue about what it takes for a woman to become pregnant? And no, it is not others place to pay for her sex!

How did you get that from what I said?

Jesus, the country has gone to the idiots. No wonder Trump is president.

That's ridiculous.

No, of course not.

Maybe in some kind of dystopian "Handmaid's Tale"-type society.

Yes but are you saying it cannot be an answer if it suits the individual woman, no it cannot be the answer but then no single strategy could or should be. Obviously contraception as a way of avoiding pregnancy in the first place is the optimum strategy for the vast majority of women but stuff definitely happens.

And when "stuff" does happen, it is the woman's decision what to do about it.

Plenty of men here seem completely unwilling to give women the last word on decisions about their own bodies. Of course, adoption is an option, it always has been. But no woman should feel coerced to decide in a certain way.

Yes, the operative word here is choice. The woman's choice.

maybe keep the knees together a little more often. Everyone keeps saying it is the woman's body...who's body is the babies?

when “stuff” happens? you mean when a woman has unprotected sex knowing full well she will probably get pregnant? Its not stuff...its a dumb decision and liberals expect the innocent baby to pay for it with their life!

So is your denial of the woman’s right to terminate a pregnancy by abortion dependent on your disapproval of her freely choosing to have unprotected sex? That is, if she had sex unwillingly (raped, or drugged to unconsciousness, or a young, overly sheltered pubescent girl not aware of how babies happen, for example) would you still deny her the right to terminate the pregnancy?

What I mean by "stuff", moron, is in the off-chance that the contraception fails.

Maybe you fools could keep your fly zipped? Your comment is offensive in the extreme.

So you think the women you know only have wanted pregnancies.
How do you know that ?
Because they don't abort them ?

Yeah that’s exactly what I’m advocating the individual woman given her autonomous decision making process, it’s not a collective decision, I do not have the right to delineate those choices and neither does anyone else.

contraceptives failing is not the reason for the thousands of pregnancies, and you know it. I will keep my pants zipped when there becomes a chance I will get pregnant! What is it with people like you, you just cant control your body?
