I've learned one thing about this topic: you have to recognize ppl disagree, lend your thoughts, and leave it at that.
Regardless of any opinions I still want the option to be there for women, and I'll tell you why. Most pro-lifers say either you shouldn't have sex unless you wanna deal with the consequence or you should use birth control, and then there are the Catholics who don't even allow that so their followers can propagate their congregation.
1:We are human beings...our thoughts are consumed by sex and our sex drives...at least men's minds are. This is why many ads are saturated with sex of some sort. We are sexual animals and being "intelligent" we have learned to have sex as a recreational event as well as a satisfaction of our animal drive. You can't just tell ppl to stop something more ancient and powerful than our brains. Sex is hardwired into us...it's stronger in us than violence yet we are encouraged to view and participate in violent acts of various sorts and discouraged to engage our primal sexual urges. It's moronic to me.
2: Using birth control? That doesn't always work. Rubbers break, humans make errors, and even chemistry is to blame sometimes. A little personal story:
My roommate several years prior used to take her birth control every day religiously...I watched her take it with her coffee in the mornings. I never remember her missing a day. She had no problems for months with her bf. Then she got a yeast infection and used Diflucan as an easy way to cure the infection without creams and whatnot. A single pill cleared up the infection but also nulled her birth control at just the right time. She got pregnant and had to abort since she had taken responsibility to avoid children she didn't want and it happened anyway. Now if abortion was no longer an option she'd be forced to take on a major responsibility she wasn't ready for and wouldn't be able to meet the challenge adequately? I think that's ridiculous myself, and a disservice to the child.
So in closing I am saying each person has their opinion on this...but don't infringe on other's right to make their own decisions because of your opinion. You may just destroy someone's life with a simple opinion one day.
