Re: Misinformed then

Wow. Having a baby when you don't want to, whatever the reason, is a mere "inconvenience". Only a man could say something like that.

I, a woman, who was raped at 19 (did not get pregnant, but easily could have), becomes totally bed ridden by the 5th-6th week and stays that way, and has NEVER had a man who would stand behind her...or support himself, let alone me, while I was down, see it very differently....

As I am sure you are aware, the VAST majority of abortions are done in under 3 months. I feel reasonably justified to point out that any done after that are almost always done for health reasons, either the mothers or the babys. I can't speak for all, but I know my gender well enought to also feel justified in saying it is rarely a casual decision...unless the psychological make up of the indivudal involved has that sort of attitude about life in general. (It happens)

How can you be so trusting of RP's health care attitudes, when he wants to deny reproductive rights (health care) to women, who make up 1/2 of the human race?

You, as a man, cannot imagine what it is like when everytime you have sex, you feel as if you are playing Russian Roulette with your life. The terror you feel when your period is late. Aside from how strong the sex drive is when we are young and lacking in wisdom and impluse control, sex is essential for any woman who wants to maintain a bonded relationship. It is expected of us, x times a week. Most of us, both men or women, do want bonded relationships. Most don't want to live our entire lives alone. Most forms of birth control are dangerous...and sometimes they don't work. The less danagerous they are, the more likely they are not to work.

So I guess that leave us girls between a rock and a hard place, which is where many in society like us to be...as women must be punished for having sex. It that Eve syndrome thingy. What better punishment is there then being forced to have a baby you don't want or you are not ready for, emotionally, physically, financially or in any other way? When I was young, I watched many of my girlfriends struggle to raise babys...whent the father was who knows where? Their entire lives were put on hold indefinately for one misguided night while their boyfriends ran off and played their guitar...
