Pregnancy is not being forced. 1% of women report they are seeking abortion because of rape; less than 1% seek abortion because of incest.

The vast vast majority of abortion is sought because of lifestyle choices.

Pregnancy is not being forced. If pregnancy is not being forced, neither is birth. [/quote]
If the state is preventing women from ending a pregnancy, then a woman is being forced to be pregnant.

And the forced birth party is doing a bang up job of making sure that women can’t afford pregnancies. They support business and the “free market,” they will countenance absolutely no meaningful help that would help lift women out of poverty. They hate any kind of food aid. They’re opposed to birth control, they stopped the Colorado program that gave teenagers IUDs and absolutely [i]tanked[/i] the unplanned pregnancy rates (and hence reduced the abortion rates, too). Forced birthers hate sexual education unless it’s “Jesus said never have sex.”

Forced birthers truly just want to punish women for being women, but especially any woman who has sex. [/quote]

Women who have sex and then are shocked they are pregnant sound utterly terrible. Have sex all you want, use birth control to prevent pregnancy. Simple. [/quote]
That’s great in a world in which all birth control methods are 100% effective with typical use. This is not that world.[/quote]
