Do you think abortion is birth control?

Question

Just a FYI although I’m pro life I am also VERY pro birth control. I support state sponsored birth control including plan B but I draw the line on abortion.

I also support research into advanced contraceptive initiatives. They say no contraceptive is 100% effective but they are getting close.

But I do not for second consider abortion “birth control”. In rare cases of rape, incest or danger to the mothers health it may be permissible.

Also if pre natal testing determines there is something seriously wrong with the baby then it’s debatable to make that decision.

By wording and technicality yes it is a control on birth.

However it’s not that simple, it is there as freedom of choice, it’s about democracy and not religion.

contraception is 100% perfect and various reasons can occur that results in pregnancy, the girl may have a stomach bug and her oral contraception that has worked for last 10 years fails.

with emergency contraception there are very specific timescales of 72 hours and 120 hours, after that it will not work.

it then relies usually on pregnancy kit and or doctor to confirm if pregnant.

this means a girl who has been on contraception for years becomes pregnant and misses that emergency contraception window.

Some girls actually get to the fuck I’m giving birth stage before they realise they are pregnant.

Then you have the various real world challenges for say a 17 - 18 yr old who falls pregnant due to the above say. Say she’s that pretty blonde stereotype who wants college and a career, went to a party had sex with some black guy.

Her pill fails but she does not realise she’s pregnant, misses period, has test, then her very white parents threaten to disown her and her child.

What does she do, she’s worked her arse off for college, one mistake and her life is ruined, her family will kick her out and no college, no great job..

Then there are honour killings, this is where a girl gets pregnant and it’s not a Simple kicked out of the house, it’s death for bringing dishonour to family.

Abortion gives those who need it a choice, a democratic choice, they do not have to have an abortion. They have the choice.

also for the majority of women that have one, it lives with them for life.

what it should not be is a religious politically driven decision.

it also should not be used as a political football to score points and prove who has control.

it can be fairly controlled but complete bans remove that freedom of choice.

Then there is the elephant in the room which is the care / foster care system

I agree with you 100% about contraception.

Technically, abortion is birth control, but not contraception.

There can be numerous reasons to justify an abortion - rape, incest, danger to the mothers health, failure of contraception, or a simple mistake. I've known women who got pregnant because they were young and stupid, had early term abortions, and learned from their mistake. Their lives and the lives of others would have been badly effected if they had carried their pregnancies.

Chemical abortion up to 8 weeks doesn't bother me at all. I don't even have a problem with early term abortion within 16 weeks. But earlier is far better. I don't know why a woman would take longer than that to realize that she was pregnant and make a decision as to what's best for herself and her potential child.

I do have a big problem with later term abortions unless the woman's health is at risk or if there is something wrong with the fetus.

I am disgusted by women who engage in serial abortion as a form of birth control. I would be in favor of a three strikes and your out policy, after which she is forcibly sterilized. She has demonstrated too much ignorance, carelessness and callousness to ever care for a child properly.

Yes, it is. You're literally controlling birth.

That said, I agree that abortion shouldn't be used as a substitute for pre-insemination contraception.

Contraception like IUDs, the pill, reversible vasectomies for young men (not all can be reversed, so young men would have to choose this for themselves if interested), and condoms should be the first line of defense.

Contraception and comprehensive sex education should be mandatory in all schools and districts. The more educated your youth are, the less likely they are to get pregnant and be unprepared for it.

Loosely described, it could be deemed as birth control, but it isn’t.
It’s not there for someone to have unprotected sex, get pregnant and then decide nope, I don’t want this baby, only for it be be repeated again and again. (It does happen, I know people irl)
It is there as a choice when the parent/s have no other option. It could be personal reasons or health concerns. It’s not something to be done without long consideration, as in some cases, it isn’t the ‘only’ option.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes!!
Its birth control because you don’t want to be a parent. You’re not ready or too poor, too young or too stupid to be one.

And if it’s early enough great! If you take a an abortion pill.. also great.
You shouldn’t be forced to be parent, just because a bunch of BRAIN-DEAD SNOWFLAKES think it’s a crime. The SNOWFLAKES aren’t the ones that are gonna have to raise it , or parent it, or while it’s @$$.

It’s selfish to tell someone that they should become a PARENT due to their own ignorant views.

I do not for second consider abortion 'birth control'."

Well, other people do, and they don't consider abortion to be "murder" anymore than you jerking off into a paper towel to be "murder" of hundreds of 'innocent babies.' It's as simple as that.

Cherry234 · Answer

No, it isn't. Most women don't take abortion lightly. Trust me, no woman wants to be put into this type of situation. It's scary and disheartening to ever have to make this decision. Abortion should only be considered if a woman tries everything to prevent herself from becoming pregnant. Abortion is a complex issue. It's not black and white.

I am extremely pro-choice. However, abortion used as birth control is immoral. There is no logical, legal, religious or medical reason for it to be used in such a fashion.

There are many alternative means to avoid falling pregnant.

It is the fault of the woman, and the man, for being uneducated, ignorant, etc. More often than not such people don't contribute much of anything to society and unfortunately sterilization is illegal.

BOOK OF ENOCH

CHAPTER 99

In those days, the women shall become pregnant, but they the sinners shall come out and abort their infants and cast them out from their midst; they shall also abandon their other children, casting their infants out while they are still suckling. They shall neither return to them their babes nor have compassion upon their beloved ones.”

I just feel like A condom is not actually affecting the body from going through a natural reproductive process like birth control does. I prefer to fck raw but aside from that, I would never do birth control and i dont support abortion

To the feeble minded, it probably is birth control. I think the government shouldn't pay for abortions or birth control.

jshm2 · Answer

No.

That's like saying "is going to jail like getting free hotel and board, courtesy of the taxpayer?"

The process and laws of abortion are known. Whereas contraception has many different other uses and medical outcomes.

Subarugirl · Answer

Bing pro life and supporting plan B is contradictory don't you think... it induces and menstrual cycle to flush out the egg weather it has been fertilized or not.
Abortion isn't birth control its a part of women's reproductive health care.
Every pregnancy put's the mother's health at risk. Gestational diabetes, hypertension, preeclampsia, infections, blood clots. Hundreds of thousands of women die each year due to pregnancy related complications.

in my opinion the biggest problem with abortion is far to many people use it as a form of birth control. Which it was never meant to be.

Of course it is not. Abortion is an ultimate resource that no woman wants to go through

Neither option is acceptable.. It's more somewhere in the middle.. On that same token I do NOT believe in abortion as birth control.. I'm more of the mind set that it's only OK in the cases of rape and incest..

Echosoul · Answer

It's an emergency option like surgery isn't preferred but necessitated in some situations. Better to avoid the situation in the first place but if that doesn't work.

whether or not the child is a human being already i think that it is the choice of the woman, and the child does not need to be brought into a world that may not want it and is not ready for it too.

I don’t really think it’s birth control, but I also consider it a clump of cells

Anonymous · Answer

It takes some serious mental gymnastics for someone to conclude abortion isn't birth control. That's exactly what it is. The reasons behind it vary case by case but the purpose of an abortion is to avoid the live birth of a child. That's birth control be definition.
