Reply #18: This is an extremely flawed argument-- [View All]

Just because a woman might not want a baby at a certain point in her life, does not mean that she will never want one. Suggesting a permanent solution is not the answer, as many younger women do not want, or cannot afford to have, children at this point, but most will eventually decide to have children.

The laws that are springing up regarding OUR reproductive rights are the equivalent of forcing women to birth children--we should have every right to decide when we want to reproduce, if at all. Especially in cases where the pregnancy is the result of a forced sexual act (i.e., rape and incest).

The best birth control (other than abstinence or tubal ligation) carries a 1 or 2% possibility of failure--this means that even the most conscientious woman has a chance of becoming pregnant regardless of her best efforts once or twice in 100 sexual encounters.
