No, boys/men are 50% of the cause, and girls/women are the other 50%.

"Just don't have sex" is a naive strategy that does not work. Everywhere that abstinence programs have been tried, it's been a dismal failure, and unplanned pregnancies actually ended up going up, not down.

One proven best way to significantly reduce abortions is through birth control, and making it easily and ubiquitously available to women. Yet the pro-life movement opposes helping people get access to birth control because most of them are religiously motivated and think birth control is a sin.

Many young women and women living in poverty have a hard time getting access to birth control and thus end up having unplanned, unwanted pregnancies - this is why the "pro life" movement is not only not helping, it is counterproductive. If you really want to help, then get behind initiatives to make birth control more widely and freely available to those who need it.

That's something that will actually help women and children during those hours, unlike a parade of selfish pride.

Many of us do. And you? What do you do to help these women? Anything at all?

I continue to support PP through donations and social media to continue to allow these woman to be able to make their own choices in terms of what is best for them rather then trying to limit those choices because I feel that's best for me.

Why? Because OP opposes abortion? That is not disgusting. It is actually more humane than those who support abortion.

And? That doesn't negate the fact that these protests are a complete waste of time, and only serve as a form of narcissistic self-righteousness. It's not innovative and doesn't do anything or provide new information. That "protest" time could be better spent doing much more helpful, real viable things to benefit women and children.

If you want to parade around to show people how much you care about babies and kids, then go for it. Knock yourself out. But it's more about you, than it is about people in need.

Nope. Two women having sex results in 0 abortions. Teenage boys are the least likely people to use condoms properly and often.

Not that poster, but the disgust at the pro life position is that it reduces women to mere incubators instead of a human being who has legitimate concerns about being pregnant. Especially OP's stance that says a woman loses all her rights the second she's impregnated.

Oh, dear. Not sure where you get your news. There's been widespread reporting on this.

Take Colorado's program, for example, where they improved access to birth control and saw a 42% drop in abortions. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/06/science/colorados-push-against-teenage-pregnancies-is-a-startling-success.html?_r=0

Nothing the "pro life" movement has ever come close.

Similarly, there are numerous reports and studies that show that in states where they promoted abstinence, their teen pregnancy rates were significantly higher than those which primarily promoted birth control. http://www.siecus.org/document/docWindow.cfm?fuseaction=document.viewDocument&documentid=201&documentFormatId=257

Seriously. It's only "more humane" if you don't consider women to be humans.

Guess the baby isn’t human either. I suppose it would simply grow into a chicken or something else worth sacrificing.

Too cold for you to go out to harass and intimidate some young women at PP today?

Then if a women must go through physical punishment of birth, the boys/men must also have physical punishment. Otherwise the law would be unjust, it would be gender based. Men should have to have vasectomies so their careless acts cause no future torment to women and, provide a more equal physical punishment. Will there be a department/tax established to pay for prenatal care and the birth?

The difference is that the pro choice stance allows a woman to consider BOTH her rights and the fetus' rights, and make a decision (choice). The pro life side gives no rights to the woman at all.
