I will be honest, the more you go on, the more your position sounds like the pro-abortion position.

I’ve never seen a woman have an abortion because of contraceptive failure. Yet there you are, advocating the idea that abortion is a back-up for contraceptive failure just as avidly as anyone who has a financial stake in committing as many abortions as possible, or who has emotional reasons for rabidly advocating abortion. You strongly advocate using a method with a known high failure rate and discourage using more reliable methods—pretty much like I would expect from someone who has a strong financial or emotional interest in the matter.

I’ve also never seen a woman who had a true unexpected pregnancy have an abortion. I seriously question the existence of a poll that supports the idea that women who are pro-life suddenly become okay with murder when they have an unexpected pregnancy. I have seen that claim before, but it didn’t come from any fictional poll. It’s a meme frequently repeated on pro-abortion forums by pro-aborts trying to convince themselves that pro-life women don’t *really* have principles. Portraying pro-life women as hypocrites who are even quicker to have abortions than those who are openly pro-abortion serves another purpose, as well: it helps to spread the fiction that a majority of women have abortions.

Of course Planned Parenthood has a strong financial stake in discouraging the use of contraceptives. Yes, they do it in such a way that it superficially appears they are promoting their use. Saying one thing and doing another is such a basic characteristic of leftists that it’s rather puzzling that you would question the concept.

Although I’ve brought up, over and over, that killing a living child is infinitely different than preventing its existence, I haven’t seen you really address that issue. Instead, you keep equating the two—again, a position I expect from someone who is pro-abortion. Because the last thing a pro-abort wants is to admit that the unborn baby actually is a living, breathing human being with rights of his/her own. Instead, you keep bringing up vague references to bishops conferences, which looks a lot like you’re trying to portray the pro-life position as merely a religious position—which is exactly the tactic pro-aborts use to try to discredit the pro-life position.

I suspect you are, in the current terminology of the internet, a troll.

If you really are pro-life, then maybe it’s time for you to do some deep soul-searching and ask yourself why your supposed pro-life position sounds so much like a mixture of pro-abortion caricatures of pro-lifers, and outright pro-abortion propaganda.

Otherwise... well, it won’t be the first time I’ve run across someone trying to pretend to be pro-life, who really isn’t.
