Leaving a mother with no options has just added another abortion. Rightwing extremist policies strike again
Maybe Little Miss Sunshine should have thought about that before she slid her underwear off and spread her legs. In a proper society where abortion on demand is not an option, Little Miss Sunshine would need to take that into consideration before saying "Yes" to Lover Boy.
Leave an unmarried scared pregnant girl with no other options and she will choose abortion
Why is that so hard for the rightwing to figure out?
Maybe because we're not necessarily interested in giving her the option to choose what the outcome is. Maybe because we believe she CHOSE the potential of being a parent (as did the man she was with) when she agreed to engage in sexual relations.
You need to understand that abortion is legal in this country, so is sex
Until you can reduce the reasons a young woman seeks an abortion, you will not reduce the numbers. Preaching and "consequences" will not work
If the proper consequences are used, it will most definitely make a difference. I give you the example of my mother's best friend growing up in a small Minnesota town.... When my mother returned after her freshman year in college, her best friend was nowhere to be found. It turns out she'd gotten pregnant out of wedlock. Her parents had thrown her out on her butt. Both of this girl's younger sisters stayed chaiste until their wedding days after having seen their older sibling thrown out into a Minnesota winter because of her poor CHOICE.
Condoms fail 80% of the time. The use of spermicide cream with a condom raises the success rate to nearly as good as the Pill, but few people seem to know this and fewer still and willing to "deal with the mess".
Ignorance is not an excuse, Madeline. Never has been and never will be. It's a form of Survival of the Fittest. If they're not willing to "deal with the mess" then they need to be forced to, for the betterment of society as a whole.
So, a married couple with two kids who don't want more should practice abstinence?
How Victorian of you, thereisnospoon. Any other medical discoveries of the past 100 years you feel should be reserved only for the rich?
No, they should seek medical options to remove the potential of having another child; with the knowledge that it may not be a 100% perfect option. I say that as someone who has a friend who had her tubes tied back in 2002. She went to her doctor complaining of tiredness issues last Friday. It turns out she's three and a half months PREGNANT. Fate will be what it will be; and it is something no Man nor God can change.
