I'm not here to be nasty or start a flame war with anyone. I made sure that you knew that I wasn't attacking you, as I don't want to get ugly in a friend's journal. As DV has stated below, friendly debate is fine, and that's what I am engaging in.
I definately think that women should look for alternate forms to prevent pregnancy, but some women are more fertile than others. Really, though, what is the percentage of women who get multiple abortions in comparison to women who only get one abortion? I wish I had the time to find the actual study, but someone once found a study that more women only get one abortion in a lifetime than multiple ones.
And let's give the female populace some credit here. Speaking on general terms, I'm sure many use a form of birth control in order to prevent pregnancy in the first place.
As DV pointed out below, though, it's a slippery slope. Once you let them start telling a woman how many abortions she can have, what else are they going to restrict? My reproductive system is my business and no one elses. I don't want the government telling me what I can and can't do with my body. My own mother can't do it, so why should anyone else if she of all people cannot? My body, my choice.
It's just been my belief for a very long time that I need to worry about myself, my body, and my life, more than other people's. (Not to say I don't care about other people and what happens to them.) They have their lives and they can deal with them. I got my own stress to worry about, you know? Why let what a woman who knows where is doing with her body get to me? It's her body, and her uterus, how is her having an abortion or X amount of abortions affecting my life?
That's just the way I personally feel. Although, I am also a firm believer in honest sex education, as well. I think it's important for people to know about STDs, pregnancy, and how to prevent both properly. As well as other methods of self pleasure.
