You can get pregnant at any time of the month.
Can, but not likely. Study up on NFP. You might actually learn that abortion is not the only option to not having a baby.

People everywhere have irresponsible sex, and they are none of my business. I'm not gonna say "hey you can't have an abortion because i don't think its right." It's her choice, not mine.

Is there any type of life on this earth that can even begin to compare to the bliss of being in heaven with your loving "God"?

I would actually be really interested in learning more about natural family planning because I don't want to be on birth control pills for decades. My husband is open to having a vasectomy but I'd want to be absolutely certain that's what we want to do before he goes ahead so NFP might be useful to fill in the gap between me going off the pill and him getting the operation. If I got pregnant I'd be thrilled (but terrified!) so it wouldn't be the end of the world or anything. It's just at this point I feel more called to adopt than reproduce if I become a parent at all.

Default Anti Abortion people, Riddle me this...

If you are against abortion are you also against social programs? Do you think it's a bad idea to have a kid without the father around? If so, how do you explain your reasoning?

Poverty sucks. The social class you are born into determines the school quality you get and the safety of your neighborhood, so if someone is poor why would you want them to have more kids (or any)?

Ummm, no, that is NOT just life. Women now have choices in life. Women no longer have to live like they did in the "good old days".

"Changes?".....why don't you spell them all out in detail? Too gruesome?

Put your money where your mouth is, or find a new obsession

If this is the kind of offspring that American women would have produced in total, then you've just described a state of moral decay in this country as at its lowest.

There could have been plenty of healthy happy babies that could have been adopted. Your statement is a typical excuse heard over and over, and it's really old news, and quite frankly pretty lame.

Abortion was never intended to be used as a birth control method.

Well, let's put it this way. Would you like to give up your life? Was it/is it worth living? Most people would say yes. The end doesn't justify the means. Saying that an aborted baby would be better off? Good grief.

The same people that want to deny abortions, seem to not want the social programs that support poor families and single Moms, 55 million more plus their children would surely impact social welfare programs by a large amount. More kids mean more young adults seekiing affordable education, then jobs and homes. We already have major problems as it is, we should not be thinking of adding to it, just look at India and their astounding 1 billion people and Chinas over 1 billion. All forms of birth control and abortion too are a womans business with "her" body and her body alone. I as a man surely would not want someone telling me what I can do with my body.
