[quote=Anonymous]If someone were really using abortion as birth control they would have something like 6 a year. The chances for a normal fertility couple of getting pregnant range from 20-75% per cycle. A woman is also more fertile right after she gets pregnant. Even if a woman has three abortions over her lifetime of sexual activity, that still means that it is not being used as birth control, nor is it necessarily been done casually. For example, said woman may have substance abuse issues or serious health issues. And as for the suggestion that such women give their babies up for adoption, there is a glut of babies born with addictions and problems, caused, yes, by in utero exposures, that don't get adopted easily. Nor is a woman who can't better her life for herself necessarily going to do so for an unwanted child, and there is no regulations that the government could put in place that could force her to do so. So, what would you suggest in those circumstances? Forced nine months of regulated prenatal care and restrictions? We can't stop people from eating meat, though, despite how unhealthy constant beef consumption is. We can't stop teens from popping addreall their parents get them prescriptions for. Why? Because there is a concept of bodily autonomy, and although I hate slippery slope arguments, regulating a woman's decisions regarding family planning is indeed a slippery slope. No abortion allowed, forced prenatal care and screening for drugs and alcohol, forced vitamin consumption, forced nutrition testing --seriously, where does that end? [/quote]
