Yet you go ballistic at the idea that men should bear some of the responsibility!

Good. People with an agenda that goes beyond a nonprofit's mission do not belong on that nonprofit's board or staff.

Well, apparently she herself has a better assessment of her value to the organization, because she's just retired. With the requisite hilarious resignation letter where she states that while she takes full responsibility, it was in fact everybody else's fault.

Nothing worse than a reformed 'sinner' - they assume that because they did it, everyone did, and then go on a mission to prohibit their former 'sinful' behavior.
I always find it interesting that people who are not pro-choice have so many friends who use abortion as birth control.

I am pro-choice and have never met anyone who has had multiple abortions, and I only know 2 people who have had even one.

Having a prejudice not knowing what it is to be on the receiving end of dent in the head males, you'd need to get an education about intimate violence and sexual coercion. hat some of you think is romance, exactly is NOT.

The morning after pill is an abortion. It's chemical, as opposed to more invasive procedures.

He already had his choice to opt out of fatherhood when he failed to get his 100% effective vasectomy. Then he had a choice to refrain from having sex with women who do not remotely resemble the mother of his would be children.

Demanding all of womankind be his personal prostitute isn't working for the rest of us. It's way past time RTL and Pro choice declare open season on Letharios. Don't make it our problem and we'll be happy to live and let live. Don't put your irresponsibility on the heads of children, and I have no grounds to excuse you from legitimate consideration in public policy. Live in your brothel forever, but don't dare dump your crap on the rest of us handing children the bills for your nasty habits.

.
Actually, it's not. Unless you also consider an IUD an abortion. The morning-after pill changes the lining of the uterus so the fertilized egg cannot implant.
The RU-486 is a chemical abortion that actually empties the contents of the uterus and terminates a pregnancy.

But I agree that the responsibility of contraception should not be the sole burden of the woman's. It would be an awesome thing if they would develop a Norplant or Depo type thing for males.
