I'm a bit bewildered as to why all the "reproductive rights advocates" are all gung ho for the Pill and Norplant and abortion, but aren't in a tizzy about how difficult it is for women who know they don't want children to get tubal ligations. <br /><br />And VASECTOMIES!

Different women have different reasons for embracing or rejecting different pain relief methods. I also embrace lifestyle management to control my asthma, rather than relying on medication, though I still keep an inhaler for emergencies.<br /><br />I also recognize that there are a lot of reasons why women might choose to embrace or forgo motherhood. My only beef is with women who reject motherhood by killing the kid.Christina Duniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785550737493692252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-39548954046424346682010-12-27T23:12:20.728-05:002010-12-27T23:12:20.728-05:00Lilliput, pro-life has nothing to do with requirin...Lilliput, pro-life has nothing to do with requiring women to have kids.

A right of passage for women. This is probably why so many mums want natural births, endure hours of labour then an emergency c-section anyway. And then they feel a failure for not being real women. The same goes for breastfeeding - and I guess for having kids in the first place. Who said we have to have them? If women truly do what they want to do and not imbibe others' ideas, they will be ok.<br /><br />I haven't met any woman with multiple abortions who was heartbroken - unless she had issues which would preclude her from being a good enough parent anyway eg addiction, mental health issues.

Having a baby would be life-altering; getting an abortion is more like life-staying-the-same-ing.OperationCounterstrikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877707857942926743noreply@blogger.com
