Do you think continuing to repeat the same false premise is going to trick someone into thinking you are right LOL.
"Pulling out" is not a reliable method of birth control, and it's disappointing to see anyone promote it as such.

I do, however, agree with you that a large part of the reduction in abortions can be attributed to using BC methods that actually work. I see this as good news, but I suspect the OP is opposed to birth control in all forms other than sulfa denial and no acetol.

***Credit to Dear Abby for the aforementioned medical terminology.

Facts are your friends. Learn some.
Then post some of these facts that you and OP are claiming.

Which they most likely do. Conservatives. ie prolife, contribute more cash to charity as well as more volunteer hours.

More facts.

Did you not read the thread? I already did. Gallup polls year over year show increase in prolife and decrease in prochoice.

Then they should get to work instead of wasting time singing.

Coventry Carol is indeed beautiful. Not sure what it has to do with abortion, but it's a nice piece. Lots of singers have recorded it. I'm particularly fond of a performance by Sting.

Do you think women who claim they are proudly pro-abortion and have had one tell their little keepers that mommy did away with their potential brothers and sisters?

All of my children know that I've had an abortion, and they all know why. My pregnancy was diagnosed with a profound fetal defect at a twenty-week ultrasound, one that was incompatible with long-term survival. Their father and I told them when the eldest was in late middle school. It was never a secret.
