    I'm pretty sure that if the guy uses a condom, and the girl is on some sort of hormone birth control method (pill/patch/nuva ring), and the guy withdraws before ejaculation, then on top of that the girl takes an emergency contraceptive pill after having sex, you can pretty much bet that you're not gonna get pregnant. If someone does manage to get pregnant after using all those methods in one go, that person was more likely visited by some sort of holy ghost.

    Pro-choice, with reservations. Basically, I agree with fire_of_avalon.
    I think that unnecessary partial birth abortion (ie, healthy baby, health mommy who just doesn't want it) is pretty much the most awful thing ever.
    If by "partial birth", you mean late-term abortions, I'm pretty sure most states ban unnecessary ones.

    I fail to see how abortion could ever be justified unless the mothers life was in danger.

    Abortion is wrong. Period. If you have one, you're a [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]ty human being. Period.

    With that said, I'm not so sure it should be illegal.

    Since starting midwifery I've found I've fallen from pro-life into the grey area. I still think abortion is wrong, but I can understand why women choose to terminate. Although I disagree and would never participate in the actual procedure, it isn't my place to judge them. This is especially as most of the women I come in contact with are terminating for fetal abnormality and are probably aborting a very much wanted baby, but they can't cope with the abnormaility/feel the baby would be better off dead/the baby won't survive once born. I guess I feel that abortion is too complex a subject to be black and white on as there are so many factors to consider.

    The only thing I really can't stand is people who have abortions for contreception. At work I booked a 17 year old girl wanting her 3rd abortion who was on no contraception! But then again I suppose you could argue if she was being educated correctly.

    Generally though either side of the arguement I don't like people who force their opinons on others. They are both as bad as each other.

    A lot of women suffer bad side effects taking hormonal treatment, so for them taking it is a bad idea. An some of them can't take it without very serious complications, the most serious being death. So that obviously greatly lowers their options for contraception.

    This topic proves my theory that nobody reads the opening post.

    I would link to that particular maddox article but the last time I posted Leeza bitched about how it goes off on a tangent of "smurf Vampires".

    More people should reference Maddox in this thread

    Because that is cool.

    Abortion doesn't concern me in the slightest, so I don't really care. I'm sorry to not be empathetic here, but that's how it is. It doesn't affect my life in any way so I have no reason to waste my time thinking about it. It's going to happen anyway.

    You forgot to add in some misinformation and a liberal use of google searching. And ah, don't be sore.

    ???

    Anyway, what's your stance on abortion, if you even have one? Discuss.
    I clearly stated my stance, and that is all. But I am no one - good point.

    You read the end of my post, as did everyone else in this topic, it seems. I always figured people never bothered reading posts properly, and now I've finally got proof of it.

    You have proof that I did not read your whole post simply because I participated in answering the one question that was asked of the reader. Welcome to emoEOEO!

    Instead of whinging and moaning like a whiny baby 'Oooh, I have proof, nobody reads my posts, ooooh!' why don't you try and stop waffling and make your writing more interesting? That way, some people might pay more attention instead of being bored to death and going off on a tangent.

    Just a helpful suggestion.

    *facepalm*

    I don't care if people read MY posts, it's just been pretty clear that before in most any people don't bother reading most of the posts, and now this is proof of it, because you've all missed something hilariously obvious.

    P.S. Devil Boy, vendetta more plz, the more I see you swing and miss, the more I laugh <3
