"Mongo?"

I've been snipped. My wife (at the time) and I decided that we did not want any more kids, so we made a choice. Getting snipped carries an awful lot less risk, less recovery time, and fewer negative side effects, which is why that was our choice. Now that I'm no longer married, I still don't have to worry about getting a woman pregnant. See how that works? We didn't want any more kids, so we took a course of action that lowered our risk of getting pregnant while still allowing us to have sex.

A woman has to decide which is more important: not getting pregnant or having sex. Obviously, you can minimize the amount of risk of pregnancy while still having sex, but there will always be a slight risk. Proper use of birth control is correlated with fewer pregnancies, too.

You forget I'm in favor of allowing a woman to choose an abortion.

I just oppose taxpayers having to foot the bill for her decision. I oppose having to foot the bill for what is most likely the result of a choice she made (most likely, because the majority of abortions are the result of consensual sex).

No sex = no babies. No sex is the most effective way to prevent unwanted pregnancies without having a negative effect on a couple's future ability to have children.

Of course, there are other options at a couple's disposal, too.

46% percent of women who have abortion had not used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant. Of these women, 33% had perceived themselves to be at low risk for pregnancy, 32% had concerns about contraceptive methods, 26% had unexpected sex and 1% had been forced to have sex.

46% of all abortions are from unprotected sex.
0.46% of all abortions are from forced unprotected sex (1% of 46%)

So, the majority of abortions are being chosen by women who are having consensual sex, and, roughly, 4 in 9 are being chosen by women who were not using contraceptives (which is yet, another choice that was made).

If they never want to have kids, there are pretty effective solutions for that, too. If they are going to be with only one man the rest of their sexually active years, they can be with a guy that has been snipped. No swimmies means no babies, too. There are also invasive measures that can be taken by the woman, but those carry a lot more risks and potential side effects.

45.5% of all abortions are chosen by women who got pregnant because they did not use contraceptives while choosing to be sexually active (removing the 0.46% cases where the woman was forced into having sex while not using contraception).

How many women choose an abortion because of forced sexual activity? Even if it's as high as 50%, that means half of all abortions are chosen by women who are consenting to involve themselves in an activity that has the potential for an unwanted pregnancy. They rolled the dice. They can be responsible for their actions.

Don't ask (or try to force) taxpayers into paying for your (general) abortion, but feel free to choose one if you want one.

Could you give a source, I saw one a couple of weeks ago that showed cops at a much lower crime rate than the general population. That makes more sense to me than this graph.

general population is tossing everyone together in a pot, the not so desirables in with the upstanding citizens.. but people decide who they associate with... some associate with upstanding law-abiding citizens so wouldnt they tend to be safer than said graph shows/claims? I know i dont associate with just anyone, i associate with like-minded people that i have things in common with and I feel perfectly safe..

According to FBI statistics approx. 1,000,000 police kill about 400 a year . the US rate is about 5 for every 100,000 or about 500 for every 1,000,000.

Texas Bill Would Make Recording Police Illegal

A bill introduced in the Texas House of Representatives would make it illegal for private citizens to record police within 25 feet.

House Bill 2918, introduced by state Rep. Jason Villalba (R-Dallas) on Tuesday, would make the offense a misdemeanor. Citizens who are armed would not be permitted to record police activity within 100 feet of an officer, according to the Houston Chronicle.

ALl seven of my pregnancies were the result of "contraception not working."
After my youngest was born, I had my tubes tied...24 years ago.
A year later, I was pregnant again, except it was ectopic that ruptured.
I took responsibility...I got pregnant anyway.
That it comes down to money and morality....is ignorant

as a taxpayer, which would you prefer- to pay for an abortion or to pay for 18 or so years for the mother and child to be on social assistance, medical and all the other costs that go along with it?

and since you talk about consensual sex, where is the daddy's responsibility in all this? why is it that too many men dont want to use condoms but then run when.. opps.. she tells him the wonderful news.. women dont usually get preggers all on their own, after all..
