Im a dead man for this post...I see it coming.I agree. And if a woman can not afford contraception, then have the man pay for it. And if he cant, then find a wealthier man. And if you cant? Then go on a fucking diet you fat fuck.Yeah...that premise really annoys me...."why should a woman be a slave to her body if she doesn't want to be?"It's not just conservatives. It is after all ending a life. Everyone should be uncomfortable with that. With all the forms of birth control why does it so often come to an abortion?
I don't know anyone who likes abortion. In a perfect world, there would be no need for it. We don't live in a perfect world.
We now live in a world where some states teach abstinence only. Which works great up until the person has sex. Studies show that kids who are taught abstinence only are more likely to have sex without any sort of birth control.
These same states have waged a war on Planned Parenthood and women's health clinics. Using abortion as an excuse to hate them and close them down. They're managed to close down a lot of those clinics to the point that there's only one in some states and very few in others.
Those same states didn't expand medicare and join the exchange. So many women who would qualify for help to pay for insurance don't and remain without it.
When you close down the clinic that makes birth control available and cheap or free, women will get pregnant and some of those women will have abortions. In too many cases those clinics are the only option for women because they don't have insurance. Since they don't have insurance, they can't go to a doctor's office for a prescription for birth control.
It's well documented that abortion is 3% of Planned Parenthood's business. It's also well documented that most of what they do is PREVENT abortion by making reliable birth control available to women who can't afford it or even to go to a doctor's office. So since abortion is only 3% of what Planned Parenthood does, the real reason I can see for the anti freedom people to close the clinics is to prevent women from having reliable birth control.
We see it in their personhood legislation. It makes some forms of birth control illegal. We see conservatives having a total conniption fit that the ACA covers birth control. One conservative business went to court to have the right to deny their employees some forms of birth control.
If a person was honestly against abortion they would want to do anything and everything to prevent unplanned pregnancies. They should be applauding the ACA for making birth control free to women. They should be arguing for the pill to be without a required prescription and available over the counter. They should be on the front lines of making sure all women and men had reliable birth control.
Yet they do the exact opposite.
So personal responsibility plays no part huh?
We should just accept the fact that women are stupid and can't help but get themselves pregnant without some entity giving them free birth control. That's insane.
Obviously it didn't matter to her when she was attempting to have an orgasm!
I hate it when I hear that crap.
We are all slaves to our bodies. If we do things that harm our bodies then we suffer the consequences don't we?
We control what our bodies do, what our body ingests, etc....
If a woman doesn't want to be burdened with a baby, then she should abstain from activities that causes pregnancy. I know it's a archaic idea, but it works.
