You are absolutely correct. I repent in sackcloth and ashes. Kind of a relief, actually.This logic doesn't make any sense. If I die, and the child cannot live apart from me, the child dies too. I'm sacrificing my life for nothing. And if the child can live apart from me, just induce labor and give birth to the child if it's a health hazard to my existence. Get the child out of my body and try to save both of us.
Modern medical technology rarely makes it so women have to sacrifice their lives for their babies. We will live and die together.
Comedic interlude...I voted for the mother's life and saving the life/babies option. I'm not sure what I would do in the "kill one twin to save the other" scenario, but I'm not going to judge people who had to make that decision. Obviously I would want to save them both, but if it's not possible, yeah.

I really think that these comments underestimate the dangers of bears. Men can be reasoned with and strategized around, while bears will just maul you and kill you. The fact that women will choose certain death over trying to build a relationship with a man really shows how much society has deteriorated.

I think I know enough martial arts to say that I like my odds of beating a man in a fight than a beating a bear in one.
Ummm, what's this got to do with abortion?Comedic interlude...
And... resume.
The theme of the article is irrelevant.The overarching theme in that article is still about reducing the need for abortion through by addressing why women seek them.
Look who knows how to use Google. It only took you a few decades.Yes, "safe, legal, rare" was a phrase that came along Bill Clinton around 1992. It was long after abortion was made legal in the US due to Roe v. Wade. The phrase was part of a goal by Democrats at the time to make abortions less commonplace. Increase sex education, make standard birth control methods more accessible, etc, to reduce unwanted pregnancies in the first place. The phrase wasn't meant to say that abortion wasn't being used as a form of birth control.
I’ve been aware for a very long time.The theme of the article is irrelevant.
You are now aware of the "Safe, Legal and Rare" slogan - correct?
That was the point of sharing the article.
Contraception is the term specifically for preventing conception. Birth control is a much wider umbrella concerning the ability of women to control when and how often she gives birth. Abortion, where it is legal, falls under that umbrella.Look who knows how to use Google. It only took you a few decades.
Yet - you still don't understand that the term "birth control" refers to methods of preventing pregnancy - not terminating pregnancies that already exist.
You have already admitted that you weren't paying attention for 30+ years - its time to throw in the towel.
Really? After you claimed to miss all the abortion marketing over the past fifty years.I’ve been aware for a very long time.
Contraception and birth control are synonymous.Contraception is the term specifically for preventing conception. Birth control is a much wider umbrella concerning the ability of women to control when and how often she gives birth. Abortion, where it is legal, falls under that umbrella.
I don’t see that as marketing. Was the intention of that slogan to sell more abortions? No.Really? After you claimed to miss all the abortion marketing over the past fifty years.
You agree then that abortion is a form of birth control.Contraception and birth control are synonymous.
Thank you for proving my point though.
No need to Google that stuff. And insults are inappropriate.Look who knows how to use Google. It only took you a few decades.
Yes, I still don't understand your personal definition of the term. Terminating a pregnancy is unfortunately often used as a form of birth control.Yet - you still don't understand that the term "birth control" refers to methods of preventing pregnancy - not terminating pregnancies that already exist.
Intentionally misrepresenting what others say doesn't help your arguments.You have already admitted that you weren't paying attention for 30+ years - its time to throw in the towel.
Any attempt to preserve or lift restrictions is selling abortion.I don’t see that as marketing. Was the intention of that slogan to sell more abortions? No.
Are you claiming that abortion is a form of contraception?You agree then that abortion is a form of birth control.
You claimed to not know that pro-abortion advocates argued that abortion was not birth control and that one of their slogans was, "Safe, Legal and Rare".No need to Google that stuff.
What insult?And insults are inappropriate.
It is not my personal definition.Yes, I still don't understand your personal definition of the term.
Within this context - that would murder - not birth control.Terminating a pregnancy is unfortunately often used as a form of birth control.
I don't believe that I have done that.Intentionally misrepresenting what others say doesn't help your arguments.
Per the definition of contraception, no. It is a form of birth control though.Are you claiming that abortion is a form of contraception?
