Yeah, the choice was made to have sex. Does every instance of intercourse have to result in pregnancy?
No.
Even married people don't necessarily want a child every time they have sex. Should married people abstain from sex if they don't want to make a kid because the pill, IUD, condom, etc might fail and the wife gets pregnant? I can't believe you'd advocate THAT.
Believe it. I do. Check out Natural Family Planning.
The failure of contraception devices carry with it consequences that last forever. Kids tend to be long-term commitments that cost a ton of money to raise, feed, clothe, and educate.
Yes, children are long-term commitments. Sexual intercourse can lead to children. Nowadays, people cannot say they don't know that. The failure of contraceptive devices is not the fault of the child conceived after intercourse in which a device failed. One easy answer, that millions of couples have found, is to eschew contraceptives. Another is to take up your concerns with the manufacturers of such roulette devices.
If people don't want to make such a commitment in their lives, who are you to tell them they must?
Your question assumes, falsely, that I have told people to have children or not have children. I have never told anyone to have children or to refrain from having children. I will tell them that sexual intercourse is reserved to the bond of marriage.
Your position seems to be based in continuing at least some justification for abortion remaining legal. Since there is never a justified reason to killed an innocent person, born or unborn, your position is baseless. Abortion should be criminalized with, not the mothers, but the hired assassasins who abuse the privilege of practicing medicine held accountable. Murder of adults and already-born children is against the law, yet people still commit murder, so the criminalizing of abortion (more accurately, the re-criminalizing of abortion) will not eliminate assassinations of the unborn. What criminalizing abortion will do is shut down the abortion industry and its terrible, lying abuses of women. It will run the abortionists out of business and keep doctors from being hired murderers. It's time, and way past time, that we join together in ending the lies and abuses the abortion industry heaps upon women. In every abortion, there are (at least) two victims: one dead, one wounded (sometimes two dead).

This is why I believe in recreational sex as opposed the procreational sex. It's at least as much fun -- I think it's more fun -- and it doesn't have the undesired side effects of creating kids.

Yes Willie, you too will make the list of the type of persons responsible for all the world's ills. Welcome to the club.

There comes a point for all of us that the idiotic ramblings, self debate, and threats to old and tiresome. But remember that affirmative action is in effect for this website.

At the risk of having one of my posts deleted one more time, just WTF is a conpect? Every time you disagree with someone you go off and want to debate someone. I cannot fathom what this debate would be like with it being so lop-sided against an idiot who cannot put a complete sentence of correctly spelled words together. If it was anything but a colored person spewing the BS that you put together they would be censored. And yes, I did write colored person which is the only reason that I know of that the vicad took down one of my posts. If they take exception to me using the words colored or mexican then I never want to see the words naacp or maldef in the paper again.
If this post makes it up now I will probably have Big bj wanting to debate me. Oh well, I'll take my chances and see if free, and non-hate, and non-racist speech will be allowed.

read my post for, "Obama will end all restrictions on abortion"

It's Biology 101 that sexual intercourse can lead to pregnancy. So, whether artificial contraception is used or not, the choice is made at the moment of intercourse.

When conception occurs, life has begun. It makes no difference whether the new person was "intended" by his or her parents or not. If you have a problem with failed contraception, quit using them or take your anger out on the producers of such pills and devices. Don't turn against the child by snuffing out his or her life.

I personally know a number of people, who run the economic and social spectrum, who exist at all because of failed contraception. (One of them hit a walkoff home run in a World Series game.)

And, after Sunday's Guest Column on abortion that was so illogical and all-over-the-map -- indeed Rawley Brown just may be the personification of moral relativism -- it has been great to see people step up to defend life by sending in letters and responding Guest Column.

Don...the lady in question may have made a choice to have sex, but not to get pregnant. There's a BIG difference! If she's on the pill or using some other form of contraceptive, or if the man is using a condom, and the contraceptive fails -- there is a percentage of failure in all methods -- and she finds herself pregnant against her will, why would you force her to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term? If she gives birth or has an abortion, how is it any of YOUR business? SHE'S the one pregnant; she's the one whose body will be affected; she's the one who will decide whether to carry the pregnancy to term and give birth; and if she decides to have an abortion, she's the one who will deal with that too. Neither you nor the state of Texas has any business telling a woman she must give birth if she doesn't want to do so.

It's really easy: Life begins at the moment of conception. If the cell (fetus) ISN'T alive, then it WON"T grow.  An inert,"un"-living mass of tissue can't continue to develop.  Why is that so hard to understand? At what point does it meet the definition of a human?  All the necessary ingredients are there at that same moment of conception
It's true that it's about choice.  With exception of rape, a female has alreay made a choice. 
People say "Why is it always the female's responsibility about birth control?"  Well...... IT IS HER body that's going to be affected.

We ahould also do a better job taking care of the elderly and persons with mental health and disability issues. Maybe since they are here, they should come before a few cells that are several days or weeks old.

The problem with aborted pregnancies is that it takes place way too early. These newly developing humans have not had a chance to prove their worth to the world. I would like to see the abortions of life performed about 22-30 years later when the ones to whom a chance has been given, give up and burden our society with their drug abuse and criminal habits. These folks might be able to fight back and fend off a so called doctor from shoving forceps into the base of their skulls. Make the murdering doctors earn their money.

Thanks Barbara, Well said.

Several years ago my wife and I were asked to come to one of the local hospitals and be a witness for the transfer of a two day old boy from his biological parents to the parents who were to adopt the baby. I remember the looks (uncertain, fear, embarrassment) on the faces of the real parents as they handed the child over to the adopting parents. Everyone in the room had tears in their eyes. I was told later that the real mother had contemplated an abortion up to the last few months. Well, recently I saw this child, who is now in school, and he is 100% boy with the good looks of his real parents. It is quite scary to think how close he came to be done away with. Thanks be to God.
