I would have had one years ago, but at the time, I had Japanese insurance that didn't cover it, so it's been more economical for me to use contraception. <br /><br />Abstinence -- not my cup of tea. I don't think that consenting to sex is consenting to a baby, but that it's consenting to the possibility of a pregnancy that can be terminated. Abortion is my back-up birth control (but I've never had one, fortunately).<br /><br />53 million babies dead? 53 million pregnancies that might have been prevented in the first place. Barring the ones for fetal anomolies/risks to the mother's health, and even if you factor in that contraception does fail sometimes (though rarely, when multiple methods are used together), abortions should have been a fraction of that.<br /><br />I realize that some people won't be happy until the number is zero, but I would be happy with "rare," myself.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13437332749627332216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-81086988999188859982011-01-29T17:45:31.484-05:002011-01-29T17:45:31.484-05:00One of the things that really ticks me off is how ...One of the things that really ticks me off is how the defenders of "bodily autonomy" and "reproductive choices" never get their knickers in a twist over how hard it is to get a tubal ligation. Why is the medical establishment allowed to refuse THIS to women with patronizing regularity, without any scoldings from the same people who insist that it's degrading to even bother with informed consent for women on the grounds that if the woman asks for it, then she KNOWS what she wants.Christina Duniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785550737493692252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-75011995827247754172011-01-29T10:11:29.859-05:002011-01-29T10:11:29.859-05:00"People who are absolutely closed to life owe..."People who are absolutely closed to life owe it ourselves to do all we can to avoid conception."<br /><br />Exactly! Abstinence. Or sterilization. Our bodies are geared to reproduce; we shouldn't be surprised when reproduction happens from intercourse, even with contraception use.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118292622669944944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-12538246223939800442011-01-29T09:30:17.944-05:002011-01-29T09:30:17.944-05:00Nah, I don't like it -- if I liked it, wouldn&...Nah, I don't like it -- if I liked it, wouldn't I be out there trying to get pregnant over and over, and having as many of them as I possibly could, just to celebrate my "rights?" Reading about it reinforces how icky it is.<br /><br />I repeat: I am becoming more and more of a contracption enthusiast.

Maybe it's because my daughter is turning 14, and is probably going to be sexually active soon?<br /><br />The Gosnell case is turning me into a shrill contraception enthusiast -- those women shouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place.<br /><br />People who are absolutely closed to life owe it ourselves to do all we can to avoid conception.<br /><br />[Wow, my Blogger verification word is "cysts!"]L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13437332749627332216noreply@blogger.com
