Contraception

Guest- I am college educated, and work in healthcare. Nursing is a very lucrative career, no matter where you work.

My husband also owns his business, so he brings home a large income as well.

I am paid as any other nursing professional is paid, well, because I worked hard to get where I am.

I've been pregnant twice while using birth control exactly as prescribed, some women do get unwanted pregnancies multiple times and it has nothing to do with not using contraception

I have a wonderful life, I have the ultimate freedom to travel, volunteer, and do as I please.(well, we please, because I am married)

Having children requires certain sacrifices, and certain life changes, these changes are unacceptable to me.

I would not find out at 7 months, I knew I was pregnant before the test said +.

I would have a later term aboriton if necessary, but I would find out before hand.

I have had a tubal, had it when I was 25, fortunately my doctor was in full agreement that I should have it done. I wish it was a elective option for everyone who wanted one no matter how old they are or how many children they do / do not have.

"Contraception takes away responibility, not taking responsiblity for the resulting child leads to abortion "

Huh? Excuse you did not just type that for real did you? Contraception is taking responsibility for your own reproductive systems. Are you one of those people who thinks contraceptives encourage 'promiscuity'? I'll bet you are.. do you at least acknowlege pregnancy requires two participants? Are they both equally wrong in your eyes or does the girl/woman involved get more 'blame' for the pregnancy?

So those of you who are saying "any woman who doesn't want kids should just have a tubal" are advocating that a woman should have one form of surgery performed on her versus another-abortion. Tubal ligation does have negative health drawbacks. It is also an invasive process, just like abortion. This surgery is just not as simple as you would like to believe. Some patients have no side effects and some do. You cannot dictate what A.N.Y. woman should or should not do with her body, simply becuase of the fact that she happens to be a vessel for the unborn. If Men could get pregnant, do you honestly think they would allow the government to have control over their bodies? I don't think so. I love my children with all my heart and i had them on purpose. But, I do not want any more, and I would most certainly 100% have an abortion if I did become pregnant again. To have another baby would not only destroy my body, but my mind as well. Not to mention my financial security. Would you call me an inhumane murderer of children?

"any woman who doesn't want kids should just have a tubal"

Huh? I believe the point was that any woman who WISHED to would have access to having a tubal done. I distinctly do not recall saying every women who doesn't want kids should have a tubal.
Please use what was actually posted and not adlib it.

No one is dictating what any woman does with her body. I am saying it SHOULD be an option IF the a woman wants it regarless of age or reproductive status. Again.. lets not adlib please.

I am aware, as a voluntary recipient of a tubal what the risks involved in the proceedure were; and IMO it was well worth it. Why should I take pills, slap on patches, get shots, insert foreign objects into my body to make anyone happy?

Again.. I simply wish all women who w-a-n-t-e-d one could get a tubal.

pro-life believes that only murderers have abortion. You know why I mention teens? I'm trying to gain pro-life sympathy. I need pro-life to see the face of the woman they are condemning.
