[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm vehemently pro-choice but I have always been puzzled as to why so many women in secular societies have so many unwanted pregnancies. I learned about how babies were made and how to prevent it, and literally have never had sex without a condom.[/quote]

Yes, we should be a totally secular society when it comes to sex.  But we are not, are we?  People are taught secrecy and shame about sex from an early age.  Pharmacists may decide not to hand you your BC pills.  Your employer may decide your pills won't be covered under the health care plan (but John in accounting can have his viagra).  You could go for free care at Planned Parenthood - if you still have one, and you're willing to pass the picket lines.  
Maybe your husband is Catholic and doesn't want you to take BC.  Or maybe your abusive and controlling partner sabotages your BC.  Some men won't wear condoms.

Your comment comes from a place of deep ignorance and privilege.

PS Most women having abortions are married mothers who realize that it would be a serious mistake to bring another child into an already difficult situation.  So it's not just on women.
