What if a lady gets pregnant, but doesn’t want the baby? And doesn’t want to go through 9 months of pregnancy?
Why do we live in a society that has such a total disconnect between sex and pregnancy?
If you don't want to get pregnant, there are ways to avoid that you know...

Margaret Sanger did a wonderful service for women - all women. Period. She was even put in jail because she refused to shut down her birth control education clinics - back when birth control was considered illegal.
She was ahead of her time. We have easier access to birth control because of her. I guess you think birth control is a terrible thing?

Yeah birth control is terrible.
Hell the only reason this thread was created, and so many 'wonderful' people have posted is because our mothers didn't find us inconvenient.

You think birth control is terrible don’t you. You don’t want women to have access to it, apparently.

Starting simple with comprehensive reproductive health education (aka SEX ED) as a regular yearly class from middle school onward would go a long way in dropping unwed/unwanted pregnancy numbers, but the conservatives keep bucking the idea like it's Kryptonite. Ask yourself why they want to continue the status quo. The status quo leads to what they bitch relentlessly about anyway.

Hilarious.
Would you like a Mirror?
But it's not about that. If a mother truly wants a child, great! Would you want to be raised by a mother that truly didn't?
And the right to have the choice doesn't immediately equate to all babies being aborted

What sort of deformed bubble must he/they/you be living into think the newer generations are becoming anything but more progressive towards a woman’s right to choose?
How come I and 300 million other Americans don't have the right to choose?
Why does everyone get special treatment but gun owners,would be gun owners?

Somehow it doesn’t surprise me that you would say that. It also wouldn’t surprise me that you’d say you refuse to pay for other people’s kids.

Because a large part of the problem is parental unwillingness to teach our horny kids about their hormones and changing crotches when they hit puberty. Instead of being told why things are suddenly working different and why we're having sudden new urges at puberty, we're told not to screw or else. That's not helpful.
My parents may have been totally squeamish about talking genitalia health growing up, but my brothers and I were among the first to be signed up for our sex ed classes in school as early as we could. For my older brother, it was in 6th grade. For me and my younger brother, when each of us reached 5th. And it worked, we were much more knowledgeable about our respective bits than our peers who didn't take those classes, we understood the scientific basis for why those urges existed and what happens if we gave in, and none of us "put out" early. But oh boy, did those bible thumper girls not allowed to take sex ed because it was "immoral" and "ungodly" ever spread 'em.
