It's not always the case that the women was just dumb or totally irresponsible and had unprotected sex, gets knocked up (big surprise) and now needs to pay the consequences. What if she WAS careful? I would guess that many or maybe even MOST women seeking abortion tried to be careful in some way and were just unlucky (condom broke, pill failed, etc).
Yes, you are right... Sometimes, isht happens...

But, IMHO, I think that ultimately, women must control there reproductive health at all times no matter what and cannot rely on anyone to "do right by them"... If women want to call themselves responsible adults, then they MUST do it... Otherwise, IMO, it is irresponsible--especially when one is suppose to know where babies come from...

If the woman gets the condoms herself for her man, since that is the only "natural" way to get pregnant, which is scientifically proven, then the oneous is on her to purchase the "safer" condom... Latex with spermicide...

Pill failure is a whole 'nother topic...

However, I know of SEVERAL women in their 30's that have "trapped" their man into marriage because of pregnancy... That is my issue of it most... Do I think these women ought to have aborted, I dunno... But what I can say, the person that is affected the most is the one who didn't ask to be here...
