im guessing they get better sex ed in singapore than her, which is pretty fucked up.
im not blaming bush, im blaming cultural conservatives who feel the best sex ed is the kind that pretends contraception doesn't exist, or if it does it doesn't work and then tells kids the ONLY option is abstinence. that's fucking ridiculous.
im disturbed that she just lets this guy do it. im more disturbed that he just stopped using condoms. why? my guess... it doesn't feel as good and he knows he can abandon her if she gets knocked up and she's fucked. you give me a comperhensive plan for holding every male accountable for every child he produces, and ill bend on abortion. as it is, you're placing all the consequences on the women and giving men a total free pass when it comes to sex. but that's the way we like it in america... boys will be boys and girls will stay in the kitchen so they dont become whores.
How am I giving anyone a free pass? I'm putting the responsiblity of BOTH people. What I'm saying is that I find it hard to believe that women today aren't exposed to any information about condoms or birth control and are "unaware" of the steps necessary to prevent pregnancy. Men either for that matter.
With all the terrible things that this current civilization has caused...wars mainly, but extreme greed, etc as well...
I truly think that when we are gone and the next civilization is reading about us on the walls of their museums, they will look back in shock (and awe) about the mass murder of our children.
it's a sad, sad legacy...and it's all of ours...I'm in a bad mood.
With all that will shock them, I don't think abortion will stand out.
Anyone who claims there is no way that people don't know about necessary steps for birth control is kidding themselves and has obviously never seen how some people live. In my job as a prosecutor, I have seen many children act in incredibly sexually irresponsible ways. I question how they can act this way and why they don't realize the consequences of their actions, but when I meet their parents, see their peer groups and their level of education, it becomes much easier to understand. Many people in our society grow up with parents who are barely there, and some grow up with parents who set an example of sexual irresponsibility. The public schools they attend struggle to maintain accrediteded and so they focus on SOL scores, not on practical sexual education. So yes, I do blame any politician who keeps sex education programs out of schools for part of the problem.
Sexual irresponsibility isn't the same as being uninformed. My mother didn't believe in sex before marriage.. taught me abstinence only and I was aware of birth control from other areas of my life..school, friends, tv, etc. You know what though.. I still got pregnant when I was a teenager and you want to know why.. because I was IRRESPONSIBLE.

What? Someone taking responsibility for their actions and admitting they were wrong? Don't you know that's not allowed in today's society?

assuming they've agreed on what counts as a baby. Which I doubt they will
They'll be more evolved than we are...I believe they will have agreed...and will look back in horror and disgust. Unless of course will comepltely wipe out life through a nice combination of abortion, murder, and war....is that redundant?
Damn, you did it again. It's not your bad...it's society's bad, or maybe your mom's bad, or your dad's bad, or the president's bad...but never your bad.
I'm pretty sure the systematic killing of babies will be what stands out.
Nah... even if it were "systematic" it would pale to our destruction of ourselves.
Look at the turtles.. there are millions of babies with the likelihood of only a handfull surviving.
There is a great inconsistency in our thinking - and our beliefs. We have no respect for truth and we deal with survival issues based upon prioritys driven by an economy we believe should grow unedited and uncontrolled.
We are really an ignorant society, and surely the aliens will laugh when they learn about us.

CONTRACEPTIVE USE
Fifty-four percent of women having abortions used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant. Among those women, 76% of pill users and 49% of condom users reported using their method inconsistently, while 13% of pill users and 14% of condom users reported correct use.[13]
Forty-six percent of women having abortions did not use a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant. Of these women, 33% perceived themselves to be at low risk, 32% had concerns about contraceptive methods, 26% had unexpected sex and 1% were forced to have sex.[14]
Eight percent of women having abortions have never used a method of birth control; nonuse is greatest among those who are young, poor, black, Hispanic or less educated.[15]
About half of unintended pregnancies occur among the 11% of women at risk of unintended pregnancy who did not use contraceptives in the month they became pregnant. Most of these women had practiced contraception in the past.[17]
WHO HAS ABORTIONS
Fifty-two percent of U.S. women obtaining abortions are younger than 25: Women aged 20–24 obtain 33% of all abortions, and teenagers obtain 19%.[6]
Black women are almost four times as likely as white women to have an abortion, and Hispanic women are 2.5 times as likely.[7]
Forty-three percent of women obtaining abortions identify themselves as Protestant, and 27% as Catholic.[8]
Two-thirds of all abortions are among never-married women.[9]
Over 60% of abortions are among women who have had one or more children.[10]
The abortion rate among women living below the federal poverty level ($9,570 for a single woman with no children) is more than four times that of women above 300% of the poverty level (44 vs. 10 abortions per 1,000 women).[11]*
On average, women give four reasons for choosing abortion. Three-fourths of women cite concern for or responsibility to other individuals; three-fourths say they cannot afford a child; three-fourths say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or the ability to care for dependents; and half say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner.[12]
About six million women become pregnant annually. Nearly two-thirds of these pregnancies result in live births and about one-fifth in abortions; the remainder end in miscarriage. (3)
3. What proportion of pregnancies are unplanned?
In the United States, about half of all pregnancies are unintended, and about half of unintended pregnancies are terminated by abortion. Worldwide, almost two in five women who become pregnant have either an abortion or an unplanned birth. (4)
4. How high are teenage pregnancy rates in the United States?
Teenage pregnancy, birth and abortion rates in the United States have been declining for a decade. Nevertheless, the United States continues to have a substantially higher teenage pregnancy rate than most other developed countries—for example, nearly twice the rate in Australia or Canada and more than four times the rate in France. (6)
5. Why has the teenage pregnancy rate in the United States declined?
Between 1988 and 1995, 75% of the decline in teenage pregnancy was due to improved contraceptive use. The remaining 25% was due to reduced sexual activity. (7)

About half of unintended pregnancies occur among the 11% of women at risk of unintended pregnancy who did not use contraceptives in the month they became pregnant. Most of these women had practiced contraception in the past.[17]
So the significant majority of the women having abortions are essentially admitting they weren't using contraception (other than abortion) during the act which created the child. That's about what I expected.

76% of pill users used inconsistantly? Doesn't work that way. almost 50% of condom users said it was inconsistant?
If this is yor reasoning please tell me why the teenage pregnancy rate has hit a new low.
look at the guttmacher stats i posted. also, it's not hard to think about teenage pregnancy rates. look at the society we live in--more women go to college than in the 50s when it was more common to get pregnant as a teen. people have been getting pregnant later as the years go by.

it's not 76% of all pill users. read it again.
also, it's disturbing that 13% of that 54% used it correctly. looks like we could use some better contraceptive methods. not just more effective, but easier to use as well.

54% admitted to using contraception that month - BUT NOT NECESSARILY IN THAT INSTANCE. Furthermore, a very high percentage of those that used contraception indicated they weren't using it properly.
To me, that translates to a large majority that were not using contraception.

what a shock. more than half of people dont know how to properly use contraception. i knew a lot of women in college who didnt realize that missing one day on the pill meant it was no longer effective. why this lack of information?

Just how hard is it to swallow a pill or put on a condom correctly? It's not.

Not sure because you need a prescription so I'm pretty sure the doctor has advised the patient properly. I think it;s because girls aren't good at math.

you know, for someone who is anti-abortion, i'd think you'd want to try to prevent them. why not develop a contraceptive that is highly effective and something you don't have to take at the same time every day?
