I had to think on this one before I posted- this is carefully worded.

For the vast majority of us, we live in a world of consequences. If you do x, then y and z will happen. This to me, is a study in those things that some people choose to ignore.

I am pro-choice, Every woman can choose what to do with her body.

BUT this needs to be understood- when you abort a child you ARE extinguishing a life. Past all arguments on when an embryo becomes a person that is just the plain fact. Every woman who has an abortion knows this and that is why it is such a difficult choice to make. I would never belittle in any way those who have had to make it. But that needs to be understood.

The POINT of birth control is to use restraint and not get yourself into a situation where you have to basically take a life. To use abortion AS birth control would require an individual who has no concept of self-control and is ultimately almost entirely self-serving. Not only that, but abortion as birth control can seriously impact a woman's ability to have children and may have some serious health consequences.

Your egg comments just show a total lack of respect for the women who have to make these choices and their struggle IMO. I think that they are incredibly degrading and just reflect incredibly poorly on what kind of person you are. Sorry if I got personal there, but I am just telling you how you are coming across to me and MANY people who are reading this thread.
