No, you don't "got me". However, it is women who are claiming that they have complete control over their reproductive rights, yet you want to claim otherwise and push the blame onto men. How disingenuous can you get?

If women have complete control over their reproductive rights and there are a plethora of readily accessible and cheap contraceptives available, then why are they still having so many abortions?

Perhaps they are not making the smartest choices regarding their reproductive rights.

People make mistakes of course in life, but like anything sometimes contraceptives fail. Sometimes because of antibiotics, or because their body just doesn't work with them, or the condom rips.

I realize this, but these mistakes do not explain all the abortions that women are having.

Probably not.

Probably not since men seem in no rush to wrap it up.

54% of women having abortions used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant. Birth control isn't 100%.

Where to begin with you?

- contraception fails sometimes.
- women are not required to use contraception to qualify for an abortion.
- some women become pregnant on purpose, then have a change of heart.
- some women become pregnant on purpose, then discover the embryo has severe defects.
- some women become pregnant on purpose, then discover that carrying the pregnancy to term will endanger their health.

I trust women to make smart choices where there bodies are concerned. You apparently have your doubts.

But whether their decisons are smart or not, ultimately, IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

This is very simple.
Don't have unprotected sex and you cut down on the chance you get pregnant,if by some chance you end up pregnant be responsible enough to give it up for adoption or take the responsibility to raise the child since you decided to have sex and pregnancy can be an outcome of that. So don't want to see the baby you are about to kill then don't have sex. Get yourself sterilized.Oh and murdering a child IS EVERYONE'S BUSINESS. Be responsible and things like this don't happen. Now I understand there are situations where its uncontrollable like rape. I would make exceptions in cases of Rape,Incest,Mental or Physical defect of child or danger to the mother.
