Why is it wrong to use abortion as a method of birth control?

Why would you do something so wrong as a method as birth control when you can just use birth control pills? or condoms?

Being pro-choice does not mean you are pro-abortion. Pro-choice is about not letting the government decide what a woman can do with her body. You can be pro-choice and anti-abortion. They are not mutually exclusive.

because its killing someone who is inoccent and didnt do anything to deserve such a violent death. and if they r rly young, they should put them up for adoption. but u should never kill a baby.ever.

Most people are not pro abortion, even if they are pro choice. Got it?

Sucking a fetus out of a womb and tossing it in a plastic garbage bag is a sick, vicious procedure. It is immoral and should not even be legal. I don't know your age or background, but because of the casual way you ask this, it is apparent how calloused we have become. God help our next generations.

I don't know of any pro-choice person or organization that says abortion is a form of birth control. As a matter of fact, I have never seen it in any doctors office that abortion is a form of birth control. Therefore, your question is flawed. Abortion is a surgery - with the risks and complications that come with surgery. It is not a method of birth control. All the poll results show is that the people polled are more educated than you are about the procedure. MYTH: Women are using abortion as a method of birth control. In fact, half of all women getting abortions report that contraception was used during the month they became pregnant.1 Some of these couples had used the method improperly; some had forgotten or neglected to use it on the particular occasion they conceived; and some had used a contraceptive that failed. No contraceptive method prevents pregnancy 100% of the time. If abortion were used as a primary method of birth control, a typical woman would have at least two or three pregnancies per year - 30 or more during her lifetime. In fact, most women who have abortions have had no previous abortions (52%) or only one previous abortion (26%).5 Considering that most women are fertile for over 30 years, and that birth control is not perfect, the likelihood of having one or two unintended pregnancies is very high. MYTH: Women have abortions for selfish or frivolous reasons. The decision to have an abortion is rarely simple. Most women base their decision on several factors, the most common being lack of money and/or unreadiness to start or expand their families due to existing responsibilities. Many feel that the most responsible course of action is to wait until their situation is more suited to childrearing; 66% plan to have children when they are older, financially able to provide necessities for them, and/or in a supportive relationship with a partner so their children will have two parents.8 Others wanted to get pregnant but developed serious medical problems, learned that the fetus had severe abnormalities, or experienced some other personal crisis. About 13,000 women each year have abortions because they have become pregnant as a result of rape or incest.1 http://www.prochoice.org/about_abortion/facts/women_who.html Birth Control: abstinence, the pill, Nuva-Ring, Depo-Provera, diaphragm, IUD, tubal ligation, condoms etc. In short.. "birth control" is intended to prevent pregnancy. The morning after pill - is not put forward as a method of birth control - it is intended for those times that you engaged in sexual activity with out protection - or had a "contraceptive malfunction" - it is not intended to be taken after every sexual encounter. It should help reduce the number of abortions by preventing the egg from implanting. However, pro-life organizations have also gone after this as well. What's next, they target the birth control pill? I am pro choice. I am pro choice because I believe that every woman has the right to determine if she wants to carry on a pregnancy. She has to search her heart and have a conversation with her god. She has to look at the resources and support systems she has around her. If I were to become pregnant - abortion would not be the right choice for me. But just because it's not the choice I would make, does not mean that I do not want that right protected for other women. I'm 35 with a good job and good support system. Being a single mom would be tough, but it could be done. That's not the situation every woman is in. And lets face it - there are too many men out there that will make the baby and disappear when the pregnancy happens. Suddenly the baby that it took 2 people to make becomes the responsibility of the woman. .......If we made castration a consequence of failing to pay child support...there would not be nearly as many dead beat dads out there! And some women may reconsider having an abortion if they knew there was going to be financial support for the child.

I was thinking about that. My dog is pregnant and I think I'm going to abort the unborn mass of cells. They are not puppies until they are born. And besides, it was an accident that she got pregnant anyway.

I saw a video of an abortion once... the baby was backing away from the needle. He knew it was there. That doctor quit after he watched it.

Just because a person is pro-choice doesn't mean they do not have an appreciation for human life. I am pro-choice, because I realize life is not black and white. On the other hand, I could never imagine myself going through with an abortion, because that is just me, personally. It would be something very hard for me to deal with. Sometimes people decide to have an abortion because they do not feel they would be bringing a baby into a safe and loving environment, and that is actually a very responsible choice. True, they could send them to an adoption agency, but that *still* does not completely ensure a child's safety physically and mentally. When a person has a child, they had better be prepared to dedicate the rest of their life to it. I'd like to hope that the majority of pro-choicers do not consider having an abortion so lightly as a cosmetic operation like having a bunion removed O_o Basically the best way I can depict this sentiment is a pregnant woman wearing a shirt that says "My Choice". I'm sure most women would try their hardest to avoid the entire ordeal of getting pregnant altogether by other means, rather than regularly having abortions. Plus....I highly doubt that's safe, and could probably do some major damage in the long run, preventing them from having children in the future. The majority of pro-lifers tend to be driven by concrete religious ideology...but if you'd like to do your research, *living* babies and children used to be sacrificed for strictly religious purposes, as well. And ultimate sacrifice to prove their faith to their God. So...I don't think it would hurt people to be a little more open minded about certain practices and the reasoning behind them. It's a depressing sentiment, but people do die every day.
