There is a "100% error free birth control"--it is called Abstinence.

Pregnancies due to rape could be very difficult to accept. (I cannot speak from personal experience, but had a close friend who was in that situation.) I can (almost) understand keeping abortion available for cases of rape and incest...but more strongly I believe all children are a blessing...whether healthy or severely handicapped, from rape or incest--it takes faith to see the blessing sometimes. But that is getting off the topic. I can't imagine the guilt some (many?) women have later on when they are haunted by that child they aborted...my friend went through a rough time trying to cope with her decision.

I sometimes think there is more protection/concern for animals than unborn children.

LOL--if men got pregnant, I think it would mean the end of the human race--don't think they could handle the nausea, discomfort, and pain. LOL

But anyway--the debates about all this stuff is what makes the USA so interesting. Once the president is elected, all the "feuding" vanishes and we try to support the president and hope he does a good job.
