Let's talk statistics for a minute. I have collected mine from the Guttmacher Institute.

What do they have to say about why women have abortions???

Only 6% of women have abortions for risks to either the maternal health or fetal health, 1% have abortions because of rape, and <0.5% have abortions because of incest. That means that 92.5% of all abortions are done because of convenience. Whether it be because the mother wants to postpone childbearing, doesn't want any more children, cannot afford a child, having the child will disrupt their job or education, or they feel they are too young.

The thing that gets me the most about the prochoice argument is that when you look at it at face value it is truly bankrupt. It's a womens body and it is her right to choose, hmmmm. Let's see

The woman choose to spread open her legs.
Choice 1

She choose to have sex without using contraceptives.
Choice 2

If using contraceptives she choose to have sex with a man not using contraceptives.
Choice 3

If both were using contraceptives, still knowing that the only 100% safe method of not conceiving is abstinance.
Choice 4

Where do the choices stop??

Part of being an adult is accepting responsibility for your actions. Correct me if I am wrong, but is not a man and a woman having sexual intercourse the biological means that humans use to procreate? Although having sex may feel good, help to relieve stress, be fun and exciting, ultimately its main purpose for procreation. Everytime you have sexual intercourse, you risk getting pregnant. That is the simple fact of the matter.

If you are not ready to have children, you are not ready to have sex,

If you do not want any more children, then you should have the appropriate surgery performed or you are not ready to have sex.

If you cannot afford to have a child, then you cannot afford to have sex.

If having a child will disrupt you life, then having sex will disrupt your life.

If you are too young to have a child, then you are too young to have sex.

Don't be fooled by the pro choice argument, it has nothing to do with making choices, it only has to do with having access to eliminating responsibility.

Two of the founding women's right advocates opposed abortion. Susan B Anthony, a hero to all feminist referred to abortion as "child murder". And Elizabeth Caddie Stanton, said this about abortion:

The Women's Rights movement says that abortion liberates women, does it really?? Consider this abortion liberates men who want sex without strings, promises, or responsibility. What it really does, is allows women to be guilty of the same thing that men were once guilty of, that of treating another being as property.
