Mistakes happen. A condom breaks, you forget to take your Pill. Obviously people getting abortions weren't aiming to get pregnant in the first place.Rudinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630556584547798739.post-11737268931420190142009-06-15T18:50:48.913-04:002009-06-15T18:50:48.913-04:00It's true.

For most pro-lifers (though they won't admit it), this whole thing isn't about abortion rates, but rather about controlling women and their sexuality.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867294546208139768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630556584547798739.post-38469547318685230042009-06-15T18:36:13.478-04:002009-06-15T18:36:13.478-04:00Many anti-choice conservatives are also against co...Many anti-choice conservatives are also against contraception, so that's pretty much out the window there. Also, many anti-choice conservatives don't think it's a man's responsibility to be thinking about pregnancy prevention, while at the same time thinking that we silly dumb women can't be trusted to take care of it ourselves either. We are either too dumb, or too whorish. A lot of the anti-choice debate is based on wanting to punish liberal women for their sexual practices (having sex out of wedlock, or not wanting to be pregnant every 9 months like "God intended" after one is married). If we have pregnancy prevention, they won't be able to blame liberals or dumb women anymore! Who will be their scapegoat? They secretly want us to have unwanted pregnancies so they can whine about us. Besides - conservatives are so against progress or agreement of any kind - no matter what kind of good it will do - just for the sake of argument and the sake of being against liberals no matter what.Jennoreply@blogger.com
