That's true in the same way that not smoking that cigarette that accidentally burns your house down is better than calling the fire brigade to put out your burning house. No one uses abortions as a casual form of birth control, I think in hindsight everyone who has had to have an abortion would have used protection or not messed up in the using of said protection.

Excuse me Mr Rapist, can you put a condom on.....?

There are a lot of "pro life" people who actually ARE anti-birth control (and amazingly enough, anti-sex ed). Lots of them.

Mikleo, they took away Planned Parenthood which dispensed contraceptives, which Trump just took away yesterday. So with no abortions, no contraceptives, no Planned Parenthood, and no Medicare for single moms, the Republicans seem to hate women. Is this what the New “Republicans” are all about?

And why automatically ‘mother not willing or able to care for said child? Why is it Mom not willing or able, what about Dad? Is the father excused from responsibility? Maybe if all men owned up to the responsibility of the seeds they sew there would be fewer unwanted or accidental pregnancies.

Actually the Catholic Church considers contraception and abortion to be equivalent (masturbation, too). It doesn’t explicitly call contraception “murder” but like abortion (and masturbation) it does go “against God’s plan." It’s easier to be noisy about abortion because “Life begins at ejaculation,” is much more difficult to build a political movement around.

At one time some religions considered condoms offensive to "gods plan". And where banned. Condoms and birth control are not new inventions lol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_and_birth_control

Birth control and human beings are not good partners in an emergency. There will always be unwanted pregnancies despite using birth control.

Nobody calls a condom "murder" because an individual sperm or egg (23 chromosomes each) is not a human being, but only half a human. A fertilized egg (46 chromosomes) is now a human being with a full complement of its own DNA distinct from either parent. <> An abortion IS a "child dying".

How about offering the baby for adoption instead of abortion so it has a chance to add something to the world, it could be the next Albert Einstein if given the chance.

You can't use birth control if you're raped, unless you're like using birth control pills "in case someone rapes me". also accidents happen

No birth control is 100% effective. I've fallen pregnant twice while on birth control, once with the marina inserted, and I'm not the only person I know that its happened to.

People who beat their kids have the option to abort and choose not to. Abortion increases yearly and so does child abuse. Poor argument.

Ahum, how do you tell the rapist that he should put a condom on before the act?

Yes but abortions are also for people who were raped or unwillingly got pregnant as well :)

I agree with you but just keep in mind that some women and girls who are not in any sexual relationship and therefore do not use birth control end up getting pregnant by rape.

we write laws all the time preventing one from infringing upon the right of others. we just have a problem determining to what extent an "other" deserves rights. you argument completely ignores the debate of, in this case, "how do we define the unborn. is it an other or something pre other. if its a human it has rights. if its just a mass of cells it doesnt.

So you are, in fact, pro choice. nice one! It doesnt matter whether I am for or against abortion, what matters is that I dont deny someone else the right to decide what is right for them and their circumstance

Thats fine - Live your life without anyone else's interference.. but that also should mean, Pay for Your Life - Yourself?

Some people want to beat on their kids. Some people want to have kids to increase their welfare check. Some people want to steal rather than work. I don't believe people should beat their kids and will always step out of my own life and interfere. BTW I'm an atheist, so spare me the Christian BS.

Really? Let's try that differently, shall we? "'m again [murder], but I also think that everyone should have a choice of what they want to do, we are all different, nobody should force they're beliefs on others, they should live they're own life and not somebody's else." Except for, you know, the baby murdered. Let's try that yet another way: "I'm again [wife beating], but I also think that everyone should have a choice of what they want to do, we are all different, nobody should force they're beliefs on others, they should live they're own life and not somebody's else." So, if you passed a couple on the street, and the man was beating the woman, you'd just shrug and say "I should just live my own life, not somebody else's?" Your argument presupposes that the right of self determination is so great that it eliminates the higher right: the right to life.
