[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having children young isn't a problem exclusive to the poor. Well, I guess the having the children part is. The wealthier groups just get abortions. Let's not pretend that wealthy children don't make mistakes/poor decisions. They are just lucky enough to have parents who can help clean up the mess. That is the main difference between the poor and the rich. The rich can afford some mistakes and bounce back. The poor cannot. So, since it is unlikely we will ever succeed in eliminating mistakes/poor decisions, I think we should focus on how to help the poor overcome those things. [/quote]

Can't you get an abortion on a sliding scale fee at Planned Parenthood? Or you could, you know, just use BC correctly each time. It's extremely rare to get KU if you take your pill correctly or use a condom every single time.[/quote]

Well, given the large numbers of highly educated and rich women who I know that have had an oops pregnancy, I think it is actually harder than you believe. Or maybe everyone isn't as perfect as you. Who knows. Anything is possible. [/quote]

They had an oops because they secretly, deep down, wanted one. If you don't want a child, it's really really easy to take a pill at the same time every day or use a condom correctly each time. Or get an IUD or a Depo shot (again not fool proof but very very rare to get pg. on one). The latter aren't exactly cheap but they're certainly less expensive than a child and you can get one for less at PP.[/quote]

I got pregnant while on birth control, and I ASSURE you that I did not want to be pregnant, deep down or otherwise. I took the same pill I'd been not getting pregnant while taking for several years. I took it at the same time every day (5 minutes after my alarm went off, before getting in the shower). And I got pregnant. Not because I was poor/unable to use birth control correctly, but because IT IS NOT 100% EFFECTIVE.

[b]Your comments are completely offensive.[/quote][/b]

I have never had an unwanted pregnancy, yet I totally agree. People who think this way are ignorant. There is a failure rate for BC for a VARIETY of reasons.[/quote]
