very very few women use abortion "instead of" birth control...
surely you are aware that no birth control is considered 100% effective...
chemical birth control is subject to failure based on hormonal changes, or certain other medications taken at the same time.... doctors fail to properly warn patients, or the patient simply doesn't listen
barrier methods are often not used properly, if at all... many men refuse to use them, who will then insist on abortion, when confronted with an unplanned pregnancy...
people aren't perfect, and sometimes a pill is missed... accidents happen...
but the biggest reason for unplanned pregnancy is lack of education
when people don't understand the biology of their own species, they are unable to make healthy choices for themselves, and their potential offspring.
BOTH sexes require this education.
but I suspect that your reason for asking this question in the first place is that you are anti-choice and wish to see abortion outlawed again.
making abortion illegal again will not stop women from having abortions
making abortion illegal again will only stop women from having SAFE abortions

A few things I MUST say now...I am staunchly pro-choice. It is not for me to FORCE by power of government, whatever my morals may be, on to you. I have no desire to control your body or your mind. I DO however,expect you to exercise personal responsibility in all aspects of your life. I can't FORCE you to, but I CAN and WILL expect you to, just as I do for my own life. You can dislike what I have said so far, I don't give a fig if you do or don't. What you are NOT allowed to do is take my words and say there is anymore to them than what is right here on the screen. If we are going to discuss this, if you must weigh in, be honest about it. That's all I ask.
For those who have said " I don't THINK anybody does this, well maybe a few...etc", I have a few questions/something I would like to point out. Have any of you who say this, or things similar to it, ever actually looked up the statistics on the effectiveness of various methods of birth control? I have, and the results just don't support that line of thought. Of course abstinence is 10...

For those who have said " I don't THINK anybody does this, well maybe a few...etc", I have a few questions/something I would like to point out. Have any of you who say this, or things similar to it, ever actually looked up the statistics on the effectiveness of various methods of birth control? I have, and the results just don't support that line of thought. Of course abstinence is 100% effective, the only method that is. Zero percent failure rate provided you don't buy into the notion of immaculate conception. Then there are a very few extremely rarely used chemical methods with failure rates as high as 60 to 70 percent, the so called "rhythm" and a few other "natural" methods with surprisingly high failure rates, and then there are the rest. Statistically they average out to a less than 10% failure rate, especially when two or more are used in conjunction with each other. Some of these are indeed as high as 25% when used alone or improperly. This implies a congregate failure rate of 25% or less. Considering the nature of statistics we can be cautious and call it a 30% failure rate. Now we can add in the horrible things like the life of the mother in danger, rape and incest. Again we'll be generous and call that at 10%, even though we know pregnancies that are a result of such vile circumstances are much lower( I admit I am too lazy to look it up again). Now we are at around 40% of all pregnancies caused by failure of the methodology, life of the mother, or viscous criminal acts of violence. We can even add in another 10% for circumstances where the father splits, divorce, or whatever other circumstance you want to lump in there where it may be undesirable and impractical to have a child. That's 50% of all pregnancies we can, I think generously, consider as accidents. This leaves 50% or better where abortion is indeed being used as birth control. That is pure irresponsibility, Selfishness. I have no problems telling you I find it disgusting that we as a people can be that cold. Are the statistics wrong? Am I missing something here? I'm just looking for HONEST discussion on it. I will not waiver on being pro-choice, so it doesn't matter what either side says about that. That is tied into my beliefs as to what true freedom is, no matter how disturbing I may personally find the idea of abortion as birth control.
Am I the only one who is disturbed and deeply saddened by this other 50% of pregnancies? If I'm mistaken factually in anything I have said please enlighten me. I want us all to talk to about it honestly if we are going to bother at all. I think the subject matter deserves...REQUIRES...that we do just that.
You Cons. are so against Abortion but what did your GOP Congress, President and SCOTUS do from 1995 to 2007 to stop or curb Abortion?
Nothing!
