do pro-choice people need abortions to be legal because they are not responsible when it comes to having sex & like to have it as an option to use as birth control? why do you applaud people who use protection when it's not 100% effective? the risk of pregnancy or getting an STD is always there.

Yes, I believe that as well. I have a cousin who's had 4 abortions, and she is proud of it! Abortion is for women who are too selfish to make thier mistake of having unprotected sex right by carrying the baby to term and giving it up for adoption to a family that would cherish it. The arguments for abortion are always, " What about a girl who gets pregnant because she's been raped by her father?", yeah, right! The majority of abortions have absloutely nothing to do with rape or incest, that is just a very small percentage. And, " Aborting a child is better than having mothers that beat and neglect thier unwanted children", but what people fail to realize is, if there weren't available abortions, they would have to give up thier unwanted child. After welfare reform, there is no welfare check incentive for them to keep an unwanted child, and the myth of the 'Welfare Queen' was very rarely true even before welfare reform, anyway. In short, it is good to see such an intelligent pro-life argument like yours, thank you.

You are lumping all in the abortion should be legal into package that does not fit all. This person was against Wade when the ruling came down, but has soften his position after some experiences. First volunteered in adult day care center for mentally handicapped. Saw some profoundly MR in less than perfect situation. Would you criticize responsible parents that got genetic testing and got 50 50 chance for health child, who found out they lost the bet and terminated pregnancy as soon as possible. Second experience know of very young children, talking 7 or 8 grade who may have been goofing around and learned the facts of life the hardest way; who after taking advice from parents and school counselor terminate pregancy.All some pro choicers are saying is there not tidy package that fits all. They are saying all should act as reponsibilely as possible

Pro- choicers cover a wise variety of opinions. Some belive it is the woman's choice to do whatever she wants. Others believe it is medically necessary sometimes. Lumping people into one stereotype of any kind is dangerous.
Pro-choicers are not generally rampant prostitutes (although some are). Responsibility comes from BOTH parties, men and women alike. If the woman isn't responsible enough to ask for/ wear protection, then the man should be responsible enough to consider it.
I seriously hope you do not believe pro-choicers think of abortion as birth control. My goodness! Not only is it a very dangerous medical procedure, teeming with uncertanties and complications, it is also a good way to make sure you are barren for the rest of your life. People who have had multiple abortions risk many things later in life besides sterility: scar tissue overgrowth, infections, irreparible damage to the uterus...
Anyone who uses some sort of protection is making a responsible decision in their life. It may not be 100% effective, but the only thing that is, is abstinence. Unfortunately, since our primal human function is to eat, sleep and procreate, most do not asbinate from sex. It is a part fo life that almost everyone experiences.
You are correct that the risk of pregnancy and STD's are always there...but making sure it is only 89-99% risky, makes you WAY more responsible than using nothing at all.

Years ago I answered a man who was braging about winning a court case againts an abortion.... As I told him...: Isn't forcing a young woman into having a baby againts her will a bit like a indirect or even direct torture? I certainly would not be so proud about it.... And, if the young lady is FORCED by law into having her baby... then why isn't the father FORCED into getting a vasectomy? As I tried to explain to this older man.... a woman only can have one child a year or so... no more than 30-40 children at most... The big problem is that some men have also the way with some young girls... and one man alone can produce over 40 pregnancies A MONTH!!! So, I told him that I VOTE FOR CASTRATION...lol... for any guy that gets a young lady pregnant.... especially if that young lady HAS TO, and FORCED by law, in having her baby.... I still VOTE for CASTRATION.... 20 years after that answer I gave him....
And I am nt sorry to say that women have been always been taken as the RESPONSIBLE PARTY, while some men are only looking for new women everyday...as many as they can have...
As I also mentioned to him...if he is looking to save a life, how about saving all the ABUSED children that are ALREADY suffering in this world...
I can just imagine an abused girl being FORCED into giving birth... What an illogical image.... and while the guy is perhaps far gone making his number 40th one moth later...
I will always be pro-choice...
Also, having a soul at conception makes no more difference than having a soul and going to WAR at 18 of age...
Some men are simply like cats... They don't stay around to save the kids when in need...
CASTRATION should be forced on men if birth are forced on women...
Pro-choice I remain...lol......

It is true - nothing is fool proof so there is always a risk and that is great that you know that. I see sooo many questions and people just don't realize that most STDs can be transmitted even with use of a condom, orally, etc - so good question.
Pro choice people want people to have a right to an abortion. They don't believe it is a method of birth control - but they feel it is the right of every women to choose since it is her body. Pro choice people know that women who get raped can become pregnant and believe that they should have a RIGHT to not have that child. There are people that abuse this - as a form of birth control which is sickening but those people are not the entire "Pro- Choice" support group - these are individuals with sexual addictions who just don't care and will use it as a BC method though I think it is a very expensive method so many people do not use it as such.
Now that Plan B is available as an ER contraceptive that you take within 72 hours of unprotected sex, we will see less of that abuse which is good. But you can't classify pro-choice as all irresponsible people who use it that way - you can't classify anything like that - that is wayyy too overgeneralized.
I practice safe sex and use birth control and have one partner, But I was raped when I was younger and if that was you - and you got pregnant from a rapist or incest or abuse - would you then be pro-choice - would you then not want that child?? What would you do?
Just like all beliefs, every person who has them has their own version or take on them - not all Catholics believe the same way. I am Catholic and feel that much of the religion is hypocritical and questionable. We don't allow priests to marry since it was a problem financially with their families when the priest died - so now we deal with tons and tons of these men that molest little boys and girls - I don't believe in religion the same way that you may or think that I have to go to church every Sunday to show that I believe - but I know that I believe in my own way and that is what is important.
It is the same with pro-choice. Everyone has their own reasons behind that belief. So while you may, correctly, feel that abortion should not be used as a form of birth control, that does not mean that you can't be pro-choice - pro choice means that it is a choice and while some may abuse that choice - it does not mean that you support them - just the right for every woman to decide for herself. And I think all women should support that. We have a world of millions and millions of children who aren't cared for - so, some women abuse birth - giving birth to children that they can't care for. People also vary on when an abortion crosses the line - at what stage is it murder and at what stage is that fetus not a human life yet - some believe it never is.
But your beliefs are your own - and you have your reasoning behind them. No belief is the same for every person - even when it is the same general belief - ie) religion, atheism, abortion beliefs, gay rights etc
There is always a reasoning or lack of reasoning behind that belief and it is that which is more substantial - the reason they believe.

People make choices, both good and bad. Pro-choice and pro-abortion does not mean the same thing. It means that the woman should decide if she will carry a pregnancy into full term based upon her body and her situation at the time. I don't believe the gov't, especially men, should interfere with that decision. Also, pro-choice keeps women safer from "back street" predator doctors who may injure or kill women in a compromising situation for the money and with little regard to doing healthy and professional work.

Where have you been? Abortion is there, LEGALLY, for women who have been raped, whether by a stranger, or more likely, a family member, or they may not be physically able to come to term, due to medical reasons. Aside from your narrow version of poor or liberal women using abortion as a tool for birth control, do you really think YOU or the Government have the right to interfere with another Woman's personal decision of that magnitude ? No one, especially the women you are alluding to, are applauding such a heart-wrenching decision. That is between themselves and their own personal and religious beliefs. My advise to you is, live your life, and don't have sex until you get married. Then, don't worry about what anyone else does with their life, unless they burgle your home, or somehow interfere with your own personal doings in life. Grow up!!!!!

I am Pro-LIFE, and thanks to a few who have used violence, my reasonable voice has been silenced because now everyone thinks Pro-Lifers are violent..........while against abortion, I can understand it in certain cases, but NEVER EVER as a means of birth control, there are far too many other options to use abortion as an escape just because a woman doesn't want too look at the other options. (Adoption being my favorite of ALL options, you are right, no other form is 100% safe)

Well, I'm pro-choice. I believe people should have the right to choose whether or not they made a mistake. Like someone said up here earlier, most of the people getting abortions are people who shouldn't be reproducing to begin with. And no, I'm not worried about a safety net.. Girls wont even have sex with me to begin with! :'(

Sometimes there's more than one right answer to any given question. I'm pro-choice because people often make bad ones. I applaud people who use protection because it lessens the chances of one bad choice ruining a person's life. I'm also pro-choice because women can be raped, molested, lied to, and drugged. I'm pro-choice because most people that have children that they don't want make bad parents. I'm pro-choice because I don't like to see children raising children. I'm not pro-choice because I think people should be irresponsible, callous, or just plain stupid, but because I know some people are.
