I don't see how the contraceptive mentality leads to abortion. I think that's a huge leap that makes little if any sense. Of course one of the big reasons I think that is the women I know in my age group. I've known 5 that got pregnant, 3 were on the pill when it happened and kept the babies, the one that got an abortion didn't use any form of contraceptive (the 5th was no pill and kept baby). To me this boils down to thinking everybody thinks like you. Maybe how you approach it if you were to use contraceptives that would be such a far leap from your moral beliefs that abortion would be a given. For most folks it's not. A lot of the women I know that are on the pill use it more for regularity than to stop pregnancy (as well as it being nice to schedule pregnancies scheduling "that time of the month" has also proven very liberating to women); actually if you know what you're doing the pill can be a tool to help a woman get pregnant, because it forces ovulation to happen at a known time (roughly known anyway). Most of the arbotificient data on the pill is really old, the modern day of the pill uses MUCH less of the hormones than the older ones and the body is much more capable of routing around the pill.

BTW, even though I am basically pro-choice (I have to qualify that because the chearleaders of pro-choice are SO whacky that I can't support them, they take it WAY too far) I am in full agreement on RvW, hands down one of the worst decisions ever written by SCOTUS. The whole penumbra right concept is heinous, and worse doesn't make sense in relation to the issue (I'm not convinced that something involving two potential parents (I am with the crowd that says both should be involved in the descision) a doctor and at least one nurse is "private"; if these same people were discussing bank robery we'd call it "conspiracy"). I actually would like to see the decision overturned and let's start this over from scratch, even if my side loses in the end, anything is better than having penumbras in the constitution. But you'll never be able to touch contraception and you shouldn't.

I don't believe in gateway drugs (not even back when I was a doper) and I sure don't believe in gateway birthcontrol. And people like you and the author can rattle on all day if you wish but my position will continue to be that you're wrong. Your position is both nonsensicle and unprovable.

Two parents.

I'm having a little trouble understanding what you mean here. How is it possible for cheerleaders of abortion to "take it way too far"? Are there degrees of death?
