Don't women need men to get pregnant???

I am by no stretch of the imagination a feminist, but even I'm not going to put the responsibility solely on women.

Yes they do. Why would you assume I was putting the blame solely on women? It takes two to make a baby. Are you insinuating that the women isn't responsible?

Because you "blamed" women and not men for unwanted pregnancies.

Read my last post.

BC fails. Precautions CAN be taken but those precautions fail.

I would rather jump off a cliff head first into a shallow river than have a child, much less carry one. I am married. We use protection, double to be exact. But if that fails and Plan B doesnt work you can bet your sweet tuckus I would remedy the situation, and quick.I am too young for them to 'fix' me. Ive been trying to convince my doctor since I was 18.

Now what would you suppose I do? Hmm? Tell me your 'enlightened' advice.

NOT screwing my husband is SOOO not an option. I'll keep my marriage healthy, and my sanity thank you.

Men usually aren't the ones advocating for abortion.

You havn't answered my question. Do women have any responisbility for their pregnancies?

Probably because men can't have abortions.

Having sex comes with consequences. One of those potential consequences is that a woman might become pregnant. If you or your husband can't handle the responsibility that comes with being sexually active - then DON'T HAVE SEX!

We're no longer discussing the subject of the thread here, are we? Are you able to form a thought without attacking a fellow poster?

If the internal conditions aren't exactly right, or if the chromosomes didn't line up perfectly, abortion happens anyways. Why is it ok if my body rejects the fetus because I had a cup of coffee or I have a fever that day? But its not ok if I cant financially support a child?
