Very trueNope, not buying that answer.
I'm Pro-life, but the key thing is... I'm also not telling people that have babies they can get fucked and die because they made the mistake of getting pregnant. Understand the difference?
Making a mistake is taking a hammer to hit a nail and hitting your hand instead. When you jump in bed with somebody unprotected and end up pregnant, that's not a mistake, that's irresponsibility.
Not all pregnancies are from unprotected sex...
Not to mention a lot of unwanted pregnancies come from teenage kids whose brains are not fully developed including the part of their brain that helps them make informed decisions... thus why certain laws require certain ages to make important decisions.
Correct, not all pregnancies are from unprotected sex, but I'd bet my dime to your dollar most of them are.
And you are incorrect about teen unwanted pregnancies:
- In 2011, there were 45 unintended pregnancies for every 1,000 women aged 15–44. In other words, nearly 5% of reproductive-age women have an unintended pregnancy each year.[8]
Unintended Pregnancy in the United States
- Unintended pregnancy rates are highest among poor and low-income women, women aged 18–24, cohabiting women and minority women.[8] Rates tend to be lowest among higher-income women, white women, college graduates and married women. For example, in 2011, the rate of unintended pregnancy among higher-income white women was less than half the national rate (18 vs. 45 unintended pregnancies per 1,000 women aged 15–44).[8]
Uh yeah. I never said there were more pregnancies from protected sex gone wrong compared to unprotected sex. Pat yourself on the back for creating a serious strawman argument...
Now how about you argue against teen pregnancies?
I just did. Teen unwanted pregnancies are not the majority of unwanted pregnancies.
Many are married women who do not want more kids
