Abstinence does not make for happy endings, sorry for the pun.
Bristol palin made a choice. Why do you suppose that just because a family may impart a set of values to their children - that the children will automatically abide by them.

yeah so what? my mother had the choice to abort or not, but seeing that she wanted to get pregnatn (and spent 1 year trying) it wasn't a choice that was on her mind. But the option was there. that's the important thing women haters like you forget.

If you don't want a baby - you can be intimate during a period of the month when a woman is not fertile(billions of people have enjoyed a healthy sex life and not become pregnant by doing this) or use BC. You should not have the option to throw a life away just because it is inconvenient to you. That is the ultimate in selfishness.
Talk about making stuff up - my original post in this thread was, what does a responsible woman do if she gets pregnant despite the IUD? And for 20-odd pages, I have yet to read an appropriate answer.

really, this is the how you're going to argue? Asking for definitions of words that you should already know?
So you acknowledge that the human fetus has characteristics of its own that make it different then other types of fetuses? Thank you. Now answer this question - what will that human fetus become if left alone?

There isn't one. At this point everyone becomes prochoice, they just choose a differnt set of rules for what fetus can be aborted. If the woman wanted to have the sex then that's the deciding factor.

You won't get an answer from the resident women haters; but the regular women haters have made it known in other abortion threads, that if a contraceptive fails, its still the womans' fault.

Yes, she made a choice. She has a right to choose. That is good, and that is all. I'm glad you came around to the pro choice side.

Yep - we were all once a "parasite" or a "clump of cells - similar to cancer".

But if you ask the pro-death people to think about what the fetus will devlelop into if left alone - they usually become rather silent. Easier to not think about that - I presume.

Simple, it becomes another walking, talking pain in the azz. But until it develops an IQ, a personality, and the ability to function on its own without living inside someone else, it is exactly as you described earlier.

Do you know what becomes of it when the woman's body spontaneously expels the embryo on its own? When it gets flushed down the toilet as part of what she only knows to be a heavier-than-normal period? Do tell.
