I’m not trying to start a debate over abortion here, but, uh, I think this article will be able to serve as the gold standard of how not to advocate a pro-life position.

Abortion numbers are far too high…
Over 3,500 per day / Over 1.3 million per year in America alone.
50% of that 1.3 million claimed failed birth control was to blame.
A further 48% had failed to use any birth control at all.
And 2% had medical reasons.
That means a staggering 98% of unwanted pregnancies may have been avoided had an effective birth control been used.
There are an estimated 34 million women in need of contraceptive services in America — those who are not sterilized, pregnant or trying to conceive.
34 million…if the pill is 99% effective that means 1% of 34mill = 340,000 + 26,000 for the 2% = 366,000…………….
366,000 abortions per year..Doesn’t that sound better than 1.3 million…
And it could be even less, some of the implants are 99.9% effective….
0.1% of 34mill = 34,000 + 26,000 for the 2% = 60,000………WOW……..
1.3 million per year or 60,000 per year….
DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN GET AN IMPLANT (in arm)
THAT IS SAFE, 99.9% EFFECTIVE AND LASTS FOR THREE YEARS?
Implanon is new to the US but has been widely used in Aus for about five years.
The only bad report iv’e heard is if your a smoker you can’t use them due to increased risk of cardiovascular conditions.
Good incentive to give the cigs a miss…………
(not hard to work out which one I’d rather give up.)
Any way my daughter has one, and no problems, no pills to remember,and she is protected from unwanted pregnancies for three years.
(in fact our GP told my daughter they were 100% effective but they’ve left a 0.1% margin for error in case)
But wait, how do we get them all to use birth control, many I’ve encountered spit chips at the mere mention of the idea.
I know their are a number of people who can’t use birth control for one reason or another.
But is that true for all types of birth control, their are many different types to choose from, surely one to suite most every-one.
I would suggest that the number of people that can’t use any of them at all would be very small but many use this as their reason.
If only people would choose to use birth control,
They wouldn’t have to make another choice……..

Bruce, this world is not a perfect place. You cannot look at this issue strictly by numbers, as there are multiple factors which cause people to engage in unprotected sex. A lack of information and resources, drug use, rape, and general stupidity all contribute to such large numbers of unwanted pregnancies. And you are right … many women have a hard time taking hormones because of the adverse side effects, which can be debilitating. You talk about the implant, but many women cannot use that device because of the strength of the hormones involved, which make it so effective.
In my perfect world, men would be taking the pills and fucking up their natural hormonal balance, but that’s never going to happen. Just remember when you talk about the miracle of hormones as an effective birth control method that it is unnatural for women to add hormones to their system for years on end, and that the responsibility of an unwanted pregnancy lies with both parties, male and female.
Or, you could just bitch slap your woman. That would solve the problem in an instant.

Here’s a thought … why don’t men keep their dick in their pants?
Problem solved.
