There are 100% proof contraception methods. If you or your partner arn't willing to go down that path (i.e. Vascectemy)
The fact that you can't even spell it is a problem. And no, having an vasectomy is not a 100% guarantee against pregnancy.
I am very passionate about this issue and could go on for 300 posts pointing out every single flaw in the pro lifer's debate, so Im going to stay quite reserved from here on in in this thread because it could turn nasty. However I will re-iterate what Ive said before.
As humans, we have primal urges. Basic urges that we have instinctively, that we are BORN with. Sex is one of these basic human instincts.
The fundamental flaw in the preaching of abstinence (or "keeping your fucking pants on" as I believe someone here called it) is that you can't supress a basic human instinct. It's like eating and breathing, we do out of instinct to ensure we survive. You can tell a 16 year old girl to "keep her fucking pants on" as much as you like (a' la Catholic Schools) but at the end of the day her body is telling her to have sex, a very hard thing to abstain from.
In light of this, it is obvious the Ms 12 is against abstinence-only sex ed. I am very much for educating both girls and boys on the options out there should they choose to have sex in order to protect them from pregnancy and nasty diseases.
However, all the knowledge in the world will not 100% protect you from a condom breaking, a pill failing to supress ovulation, or a sterilisation procedure which for some reason or another does not prevent a pregnancy from occuring.
So where does that leave a girl? She has taken all the necessary precautions, and acted responsibly in order to satisfy a BASIC HUMAN URGE. What kind of life is a child going to have if its mother is kicked out of home because her parents are disgusted by her decision to have a child....this my friend is how the poverty cycle begins.
I am all for a woman's right to choose. As a male, you can never fully understand the gravity of pregnancy. As such, I don't think males have any right to a say in the abortion debate. Of course they will have opinions, but ultimately, you don't have (and never will) that knowledge so you don't have the right to make the decision. I guess its the same as circumcision if you want an example....I don't believe women have the right to an opinion about male circumcision because as women its not something we can ever fully understand.
Despite popular belief no one takes the decision to abort lightly. No one. It is a physically and emotionally painful decision that is made with every consideration given to the consequences of the decision.
Without the right to choice this country would be in a welfare crisis.
