I simply don’t understand why people are so stupid and fail to use simple birth control methods.
Possibly because the costs of birth control vs. abortion are screwed up by the Universal Healthcare system, or this woman has the money to spend on multiple abortions. Either way, this woman is pretty messed up. It’s also what I like about the U.S., it’s rediculously cheap for someone to buy some condoms than it is for someone to have an abortion done. Last time I heard, condoms were cheap. Not even that, but even birth control is better than aborting a 22-week old fetus?!!
What do you mean "even"? Obviously it's better -- there is nothing wrong with using birth control. It's true that in rare cases (and maybe 1 in 1,000 couples a year will have this happen) an egg can fertilize and fail to implant in the uterus due to birth control. I see this as a far preferable outcome to a first-trimester abortion (or heaven forbid a late-term one). Are we dealing with life at that point? Yes. But it's a trade-off. In this case, the pill is acting like the morning-after pill, and the morning-after pill is undoubtedly preferable to a first-trimester abortion, in my opinion. RU 486, in contrast to the morning after pill, works AFTER implantation and development has begun, and is unquestionably an abortofacient.
There are plenty of places to get free condoms in most cities. You can have imperfect use with birth control methods, but condom breakage is a biggie. So is forgetting to use it (obviously), but breakage is a big deal. The pill and the shot and the patch (internal methods) are much more effective at preventing pregnancy than condoms. Obviously using both is preferred, but if a couple is only willing to use one, the hormones are the better choice.
