“It is vital that all people who can become pregnant have that choice,” she wrote.”

How about the choice to not have sex without contraception, if you don’t want to get pregnant. It’s not an issue of feminism or sexism. Males and females have personal responsibilities when engaging in consensual sex. If you had the baby, the man involved would be responsible for child support, with no legal choice in the matter. Those would be the consequences and responsibilities of his actions. The choice part comes before the pregnancy, not after.

Evem contraception doesn't cover it. About half the women who get abortions, used contraception at the time of fertile intercourse.

With the exception of the permanent or long-term methods (sterilization, hormone implant, etc.) most contraceptives reduce the statistical risk that any one act of intercourse will result in pregnancy, but increase intercourse frequency, meaning decreased risk is countered by increased exposure.

In other words, with the rubbers, jams, jellies, foams, etc. the increased # of sexual encounters statistically negates the reduced risk of the act.

It's more infrequent, but women even get pregnant when they're on the Pill.

Strange that women (and men) don't think of how powerfully and intricately woman is designed to ovulate, or conceptualize 300 million spermotazoa swimming up the woman's inner waterways like salmon swarming upstream. It's actually hard to shut the entire system down. Life finds a way.

Bottom like: if you don't want a baby, don't do the baby-making thing.
