Of course abortion is a birth control method. It is what it is. It is not the only birth control method, nor is it the only one used by most people.
Try reading the links I submitted if you want a more realistic view of what it really is and the lies and deceptions used by the anti-choice people.
I have to wonder what any of those corner protesters are doing in the way of adoption or fostering unwanted albeit born kids.
Don't want an abortion, very simple, don't have one.

Reason: clarity
Today I went out to run some errands, and a religious anti-abortion group was holding up graphic signs of dismembered fetuses on the side of a major road. There was absolutely no way to avoid seeing them.
Probably the best thing to do is pay attention to the road, if the signs offend you just ignore them.
If a graphic display is potentially traumatizing to innocent by standers it should not be allowed to stay. Someone's right to mental peace outweighs others right to show the truth, which why we don't see naked people on Ads having sex.
As I said, I don't agree with springing them on people. I would be upset if my children were forced to look at them, but I do believe in using them appropriately. I believe if people wish to support this practice they need to know exactly what they are supporting.

Most of the descriptions they use with the photos are lies.

What lies are you referring to? Specifics please.
So if I applied your logic to domestic abuse, are only those willing to take in a battered woman and her childen allowed to protest domestic abuse?
As to your final comment, that same logic was used to defend slavery- "don't like slavery, don't own a slave."

A clinic in Michigan was just recently fined for throwing out fetal remains. It's not hard to believe that one could easily find an aborted baby in a dumpster of which are being displayed in these pictures.
dont wana be causing wreaks. however i think it is healthy to examine our perception of abortion. abortion was never intended to be a birth control method.
the later you wait on the abortion the more it begins to look like killing a child.
All the more reason abortion should be available in communities where it isn't presently despite the population to support it. Good point.

Touche'. I can't rep you again but I owe you big time for "don't like slavery, don't own a slave". Cut's right to the chase.

Reason: add
This isn't about whether you are pro-choice or pro-life, its about what is appropriate to hold up on a major road that many people, children included, are forced to see. How would you feel if you had to explain those disturbing images to your young child?
Excuse me, but the Truth is always appropriate, no matter how ugly it is.

The truth is sometimes hard to face. It's sad that children have to see what could have happened to them--"there by the grace of God, go I". Protests like this should make us determined to work for better protection of the unborn. What a tragity, that so few speak out for their right to exist.
