You're right, that's why I told my son as he was growing up and making decisions about sex, never leave birth control solely up to the girl, it takes two to make a baby. Responsible is the operative word and unfortunately all too often that doesn't come into play.

I agree with your post. My ex had a very late term abortion she was able to get and I had no say in the matter. I was divested she killed our child.

I'm sorry that that had happened to you. There is also a flip side to that coin, my son's friend got a girl pregnant, he didn't want to keep the child, she did - bottom line is that he is paying child support until she is 18. I feel that it should be legal that either parent can sever parental rights and let the parent who wants the child have custody. It is a very convoluted issue and there are not easy answers.

My ex-girlfriend told me she thought about trying to get pregnant,( she was on birth control),
but she changed her mind when my dad said he would not help us if she did. What I'm saying is you can think you've both made the choice not to have children, and your girlfriend can change her mind, not tell you, stop taking her birth control, and there is nothing you can do about it. You're still obligated to pay child support.
Even though she was on birth control, I still used a condom most of the time. Sex feels a lot better without a condom, but it's just not worth it if you don't want to have a child. If you don't want to have a child, always use a condom, always.
Masturbation and abstinence get a bad rap, but if you don't want to have children, I can't think of anything more noble than choosing not to have sex. On another website(know which one I'm talking about?) a favorite insult of a particular group, a group that is exclusively pro-choice, is you never get laid, but if you don't want children I can't think of a better compliment.

Pro-choice bby
Pro-life.... in my opinion, as soon as it's conceived, the baby is human. I used to not know what I believed, but seeing my nieces and nephew grow up has made my perspective. I mean if you think about it, all of us and the people that we love started the same, and I'm glad for all of the people I have in my life and am very glad their parents didn't abort them... but at the same time, everyone has opinions and I don't hold it against anyone that disagrees with me. I don't look at it as a debate, but rather agree to disagree.
I hate these terms given as they're so misleading and ambiguous, but by definition I'm pro-choice.
Pickin' and Grinnin'!
Ether way I dun care much, but the way I see it? If you don't want the kid, why not have the baby and give the child to a family that cannot have children, like me, for example? There are people out there that can't even have children and would be loving families to such. Then everyone's happy because they dont have to have a child they dont want, AND, someone else gets to have a child they cant create!
Agreed, thank you for summing that up!
But I am still pro choice in instances of rape, incest, inbreeding etc.
Adoption isn't that easy.
And I kind of doubt there would be enough people wanting to adopt versus number of kids if abortion was no longer an option.
I refuse to vote with such limited options. I won't be pinned down as "pro-choice" because I am not "FOR" abortions (and really is anyone?). But I won't be labeled a "Pro-Life" either. I don't think they should be illegal and forced into an underground black market. I do support free birth control and sterilizations for those wanting it. The attack on Planned Parenthood not all that long ago by the right was ridiculous as they provide so many other services, including low cost to free birth control, the number one way to PREVENT abortions. I think if people are truly concerned about lowering the abortion rate then perhaps supporting programs that have education, free birth control and such is a better approach then making it illegal. Making something illegal never works. It's been proven over and over and over. If a woman opts to have an abortion, she should have proper medical care and a private matter between her and her physician. This mandatory sonogram crap some states are coming up with is just stupid.
