[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why birth control should be part of every, every person's life once they are of reproductive age and/or sexually active.

As a culture, we need to instill the importance of birth control - reliable birth control - in our kids.   Every teenage girl should take the pill, get an IUD, get depo shots, whatever, take your pick.  AND every sex act should involve a condom.  Since I have been single and dating I am on the pill AND insist on a condom every time.

It is abhorrent and irresponsible that there is still a single abortion taking place in this country.

And I am rabidly pro choice, FYI.

The thing that makes me angriest, furious, is the same people who want to outlaw abortion want to restrict birth control.  It is utterly, utterly illogical.  It creates so much human suffering and contributes to the death of these unwanted babies.  [/quote]

Well, I agree with you about contraception, but I also believes that there are indeed circumstances where abortion is not a tragedy.  See the pp's posts about stillbirthing babies, etc.[/quote]

Agreed PPs.

What SHOULD happen is that women who do not want to have children, or men who do not want children, should have sterilization covered by insurance. That would drastically reduce the number of birth control failures. And by sterilization, I mean, hysterectomy; like, making sure there isn't a chance of failure.

In addition, churches should not be allowed to teach the 'rhythm method' as birth control. It is NOT a form of birth control, period (no pun intended).

We need to stop this 'abstinence only' crap and talk to teens like the almost-adults they are. They're doing it, so educate them, don't deny it.

We need strong, consistent public education and even standard guidance from doctors/nurses to tell you that the pill is only 95% effective, that condoms are only 80% effective, and to present dual-barrier method options that would provide the most protection against unwanted pregnancy. And even tell you that hey, even if you have your tubes tied or the snip-snip, there is a chance you could still get pregnant. And this education needs to begin BEFORE puberty.

And then, if there is an issue, there should be no stigma for a woman to abort a 6-week-old cluster of cells once she realizes that her birth control failed.  It should be easy, affordable, legal through the woman's OB, and there should also be mandatory education and counseling provided both before AND after without any sort of 'agenda' like 'making sure the woman sees the ultrasound' (as if all of us who are prochoice think it's any easier dealing with an abortion than those who are prolife; we are, after all, human too, and it is never an easy decision). Because part of the problem is that the way things are now, it can easily be 2-3 weeks between realizing you're pregnant and having the procedure. If anyone is uncertain about when a fetus starts to 'feel pain', etc., then it would be in everyone's best interest to stop development before the end of the first trimester by making first trimester abortions more readily available.

Anyone who sees life through rose-colored glasses and envisions the majority of would-be-aborted babies as having happy, stable lives should be glad that they are privileged enough to have that outlook.[/quote]

You do realize that the church goers who don't use contraceptives and the rhythm method are not going to abort. 
Also there are communities that are very religious and practice abstianance. Abstiance would work if all the horny teeangers followed but they don't. The problem I have is the schools teaching them about contraceptives and making students feel like it's ok and have a green light to go have sex. If we are insistent on sex education through schools, they should also teach that it is wrong to have sex and risky.[/quote]
