Subject: RE: A Different Kind Of Death Chamber
Wow. What a discussion.

My position has always been, we know what causes pregnancy. If YOU don't want to get pregnant, then do something about it. I have known women who complained that "it's not fair that women have to bear most of the responsibility of birth control." No, it ain't fair. Life ain't fair. But the fact is, if pregnancy happens to ME, and if I don't want it to happen to ME, then I'VE got to take that responsibility. And I have, for the last however many years it's been, and I have never been pregnant. (I am one of those people who likes other people's kids.)

Now. That being said, what happens when the birth control doesn't work? I used to work in a shop where about three, maybe four of the straight female employees had had at lease one abortion. I will not begrudge anyone one abortion because everyone's circumstances are different. But more than one? I have a hard time with that. But there again, I don't know the situation.

I think abortion needs to remain legal but I haven't made up my mind what restrictions, if any, that I think should be placed upon it. I am pro-choice, but I wish more people felt like they could choose life.
