PS: I forgot to reply to your conclusion jumping in relation to my personal sexual behaviour.
I'm 68 and have been sexually active since the age of 13, at which period in history contraception was virtually non-existent.
I've had two false alarm pregnancy scares in my life when I considered abortion, once when I was 15 and the adult male concerned assured me he wouldn't get me pregnant and much later when I thought I was pregnant to the husband I was about to leave.
I plead guilty to being "irresponsible" as a teenager, that's what teenagers are like, but I regard it as far more irresponsible these days for contraception to not be freely available to anyone who's sexually active or planning to be.
The alternative, as I keep saying, is compulsory motherhood!
Oh but it wasn't compulsory sex either. The child deserves to live regardless of what people of your opinion say or do. You have done abortions, you should be feeling sorry for it not encouraging it. No one is forcing you to take care of the child either.
I have never "done abortions" or had an abortion, but I have campaigned for women's right to control our own bodies and will continue to do so. What "it" should I be feeling sorry?
Some pregnancies do result from compulsory sex - ie rape - or from failed contraception.
I repeat, the alternative is COMPULSORY MOTHERHOOD
No one told u to decide either whether the child should be born or not. That is it's right! There are lots of people who have unwanted pregnancies who later appreciate their children. Basically it's wrong for the mother or father to decide whether the child should live or not.
It's not a child and a woman is definitely a human being with the right to decide whether or not to continue an unwanted pregnancy. It's wrong to force women to carry and give birth to children they don't want: wrong for the woman, wrong for the resulting child and wrong for society
Pro-choicers are silly?
