Kourtney's statement*****she still has control over *her* body.********

we really don't have control over our bodies...Noone has total control over their body.

Why should she get to *control* her body when it's taking away the right for another to control theirs? The baby won't be able to control it's body because it's dead...How is that right?....The little girl that is aborted will not have *reproductive rights*.

Well then why even bother telling us to do it if you don't expect us to? Do you like wasting your time making pointless commands that you know no one will do or what?

right....Rare that it fails, but yes..It does. And woman are aware of this right? Therefore, going into the situation the woman should realize "hey, this could fail and I could get pregnant"! It' just something that should be made note of and accepted if it happens. Otherwise, refrain from sex. People always love when I or someone says this but the statement really is black and white.


rare? So rare that I know about 20 people who've gotten pregnant while on some form of birth control. The one and only 100% contraceptive, is abstinence. And if there are middle aged woman out there using contraceptives, to prevent a pregnancy they don't want, and they happen to get pregnant, i'll march there asses right down to the abortion clinic. So jilee, let me give you this scenario, a 34 year old woman, and her husband don't want kids, ever. So they're using birth control, and condoms, she happens to get pregnant. So that 34 year old woman should never have sex with her husband because bc fails? I think thats absolutley ridiculous. But ok.

The statement is really an opinion.

Sorry, I could careless what you think. You're proving your immaturity everyday.

You're 27 years old fighting with a 19 year old, whos tried ending it many many times but you come back with more immature, and rude comments.

As I told you before, im not going to read your looooong, pathetic, drawn out posts trying to prove something, I don't know what.

I don't get it. I'd never write such a looong post to someone I didn't care for. But whatever, cool for you I guess. ;)

Jilee- I apologize. I thought this was a different board, and this was a different post. I thought this was a post about me, not abortion. I apologize again. I just don't read such long posts so I didn't even look at it until it popped back up and I glanced at it.

I'll respond to it after I read it through now..

that's very unfortunate for those 20. I hear more and more about bc failing these days and it's hard to believe! It's actually shocking if you ask me. I was on the pill for 12 years and never got pregnant, thank god. So my opinion of the bc pill was that it was always a god-sent! Well, I would hope you wouldn't march their a.Ss to the abortion clinic if they didn't want to abort!!! (joke to lighten the mood).
The answer to your question about the 34 year old is yes and no, and i'll explain:
good that she is using 2 forms of bc and chances are, she won't get pregnant. I still believe the pill is a god-sent. Call it personal experience. If she does become pregnant....Than I feel she should do everything in her power to accept it and work her life around it. She isn't 15 w/a crush that's going to scream "oh no" and run away. This is a m.A.N and a w.O.M.A.N. People have to do things to adjust to life all the time. I do not think a child should be aborted because it was "preferred" not to have been created. It's not fair at all. The baby/fetus has no way to defend him/herself. So if that woman were to ask me what you did and told me flat out i'm on bc pill and using a condom and I know it could fail but if it does, i'm aborting. I would tell her that in my o.P.I.N.I.O.N she should refrain from sex but obviously in no way could I make her do so. Of course, it's her choice and she has a right to her choice.


no, I would never tell someone to get an abortion if they didn't want to! Lol.

I agree that a man, and woman who don't want to get pregnant, and acidentally do should think it through first. If they know they're not ready for a baby, then atleast they have that choice, and they were doing everything to prevent it.

I was on the pill but woke up in the middle of the night with hot sweats, shaking, and throwing up. I literally freaked out in the middle of the night, it made me go crazy! So I got on the depo shot, was on that for 3 years..That worked wonders. I got off the shot in february 2002, and I got pregnant february 2003. Now I have a beautiful little girl, and im back on the depo shot.. It seems to be working differently for me then it did before. I guess it could be because my body changed after having kylie.

so what about the woman that did us bc? Do you think its okay for them to get one since they weren't lazy and were taking precautions? Probably not. But see, bc fails, everyday, and everyday those woman are faced with an unplanned, unwanted pregnancy, and if they were doing everything they could to prevent it, then they shouldn't have to go through a pregnancy they didn't want, didn't plan, and was doing everything to prevent.

Whether or not a woman uses birth control or not, she still has control over *her* body. Its not like "oh well woman who don't use birth control don't get to decide what happens to their bodies." thats ridiculous.
all i'm saying is that I simply do not believe that so many of these unplanned pregnancies were the result of contraceptive failure. Sure, accidents happen, and contraception can fail, but if the rate of failure was that high, honestly, why would it be on the market if it didn't work? And if a woman does take precautions and happens to get pregnant, why should the baby suffer by being aborted? It still isn't the baby's fault that the contraceptive failed. You women who are prochoice treat the "fetus", "thing", "mass of cells" whatever you want to call it like a piece of trash that doesn't have any rights. Just because the pregnancy was considered an inconvenience to you doesn't give you the right to take the baby's life. The whole thing with abortion is selfish. You women are only thinking of yourselves when you do it and all you are trying to do is get rid of something that isn't convenient for you.

of course you don't buy it. You are a prolifer, and as such, your wishful thinking is seen as fact regardless of the evidenec. Evidence that I have posted before. But specially for you, i'll repost it:

how silly of you. Rate of failure is around 1-10% in a year, it just happens that so many of thos who abort do so because of contraceptive failure. Any other silly claims you want to make?

as I just showed, that is outright false.

that could be, or they didn't use it correctly.

another unsubstantiated "because I say so" prolife postulation. The data reports that the use may be inconsistent. It doesn't support your wild fantasy about it being whenever they felt like it, so your silly and unwarranted attempt at demonizing them is thus exposed in all its dishonesty.

So again, what is it you claim about contraceptive use that is actually true? None of it?

oh, crap. I can't believe we have to go over that again. Even jlee had to admit how silly that argument is. But let me help you. Lots of kids wait to be adopted, yet you selfishly insist on having your own kid instead of giving a home to those already waiting for one.

That is selfish, shame on you.... Etc.....

why should the woman suffer through a 40 week pregnancy that she doesn't want to go through? The woman has been alive for years, and years. This baby pops up and gets more rights to her body then she does? I think not.

[quote]just because the pregnancy was considered an inconvenience to you doesn't give you the right to take the baby's life. [quote]

actually, as it is my body, it certainly does give me the right to abort, if I so happen to choose that.

You don't know about every womans situation, and why they got an abortion, so I don't know why you're sitting here saying "all you woman are selfish"..Please, get a grip.

i was right about one thing that you can't argue, steen, and that is in your "evidence" it states that some women admitted to being inconsistent about using birth control, hence my statement about women using contraception whenever they feel like it. And how can you prove that these women were actually telling the truth when they said that they were using contraception? Some of them may have lied about it just because they are ashamed that they are so irresponsible and want to cover up their irresponsibility by disguising it as contraceptive failure, particularly if they are at an age where they are old enough to know better. So your 58% means nothing if you can't prove that these women were definately honest about their contraceptive use or lack of use thereof.

i'm all for adoption as opposed to abortion. That is one of the main arguments for prolifers:adoption vs. Abortion.

kourtney, does that "thing" or baby whatever you choose to call it have a voice to stop the mother from aborting it? No! It is at the mercy of what the mother and abortion doctors do to it. Doesn't that make you feel the least bit guilty? Knowing that you are aborting an innocent life that has no say so in what you do to it? I think it is so inhumane that you think that just because you have been around for years and this baby is a new "thing" that it doesn't have the same rights as you do. It is still a human life for heavens sake! I don't care if it was conceived a month ago and you are 46, it still has the same rights. Just because you say it doesn't because you want to rid yourself of the guilt of aborting doesn't mean you are right. It's just a convenient justification for you to abort.
