Women who use birth control are sluts

[The Kizzy]

Even after you form your own opinion, and posted it here, Finawin tells you that you are wrong. So it's useless.

My personal belief and opinion (Yes, gasp, someone admitting something is just an opinion, and on NT. Someone alert Ripley) is that it achieves "human-ness" at the point at which it is capable of being an independent entity. I realize that is an extremely nebulous point, which is why there's so much debate on the issue. Also, I do not personally feel that abortion should be treated as just another form of birth control, in general. It's a huge decision, and should be much more of a last resort than anything else. HOWEVER, it should be entirely up to the woman involved to decide; it is her body, no one else's. If you don't own your own body, what DO you own?

If you truly want to reduce the number of abortions happening, put in some serious education on birth control, and at a young age. No, it's not promoting sex, it's being realistic, assuming the message is something like, "In an ideal world, you shouldn't have sex until you are an adult, and only then after careful consideration, etc. However, since we know the real world doesn't work that way, IF you choose to have sex, here is some stuff you absolutely need to know." Make condoms, the "Pill", etc. freely and readily available. Also, make sure that the Morning After Pill is readily available as well. For those who don't know, the MAP basically (if I am rememebring right) prevents the fertilized egg, should there be one, from binding on to the uterine wall, meaning it will be flushed out before it has a chance to start growing. No fetus ever develops. The egg has barely become a xygote, and hasn't even started dividing yet.

As per statistics I got from a Princeton website, the best of the MAPs causes an 89% reduction in pregnancy rate. The way this is figured is the following: If 100 women had unprotected intercourse once during the second or third week of their cycle, about 8 would become pregnant; following treatment with the MAP, only 1 would become pregnant: a 89% reduction. Obviously, if these people took the MAP, they didn't want a kid. That's 7 pregnancies and potential abortions stopped before they ever happen. How is that not a win-win?

Hey you know what Ralph? If you don't want a kid... don't have sex. It's pretty simple.
