Yes, it is true, the choice not to be pregnant without abortion does exist and it is done on a far more humane level, it is called: abstinence, this method will also help reduce sexually transmitted diseases and is an all round healthier option than alternate methods such as destroying humans in the womb.
 
There's also other ways such as condoms!

most women can yes, but that doesnt help women that are raped. not that rape is the cause of a large percentage or abortions, but it is part of it.

what about them?

But we are constantly told that these fail.

and yet, the same people who keep on having sex all the time says there's less than 2% of them catching STD's if they use condoms. So these condoms can prevent STDs, but not pregency? You can't have your cake and eat it too, it can either prevent both, or neither! Plus, wouldn't Trojan be in hot water if their products don't work?

You know, the woman could turn a negative into a positive. She could have the child and raise the child in a caring and loving house hold, even if it is by herself. I mean why punish the child for something the father did?

I hear all the time about how Pro-Choice/Pro-Abortion people are for the woman to have choice, but what about the child? I mean do you honestly think that the child would've want to be concieved because of rape? Where is the child's choice when it comes to abortion?

Condoms are roughly 90% effective (someone want to back me up with the real number? I'm too lazy to look). Nothing works all the time.

I find it so odd when prolife people insist that babies conceived from rape are less deserving of life than babies conceived from a normal sexual encounter.

That is true, nothing does work all the time. However, I was pointing out the fallacy in the argument that while when performing sex, they have a 2% chance of catching STD's when they use condoms, but when it come to sperm passage, they break all the time. There's a fallacy in that argument.

Fair enough.
 
Condoms breaking? I should be so lucky.:roll:

I would be more worried about it falling off.:rofl

sure, but that doesn't mean the woman had any choice in the matter of getting pregnant.

It might be that on a given act of unprotected sex, a pregnancy is more likely to occur then desease transmission, but I dont know.

That's actually true. A little known fact that your sex ed teacher didn't inform you of is that it's almost impossible to catch AIDS from a one time event. Provided it's traditional (read: not anal) sex. Don't know about other STDs.

God I'm so confused. I could have sworn you were prolife.

I just dont think rape has anything to do with it.

I'm not completely pro-life, I'm ok with early term abortions. But I tend to debate with pro-choice people more than pro-life people, so I could easily appear purely pro-life.

I knew that about HIV, but I think HIV is one of the more difficult deseases to transmit. but again, im not sure about that. lol

That's why I was confused. Wait, why were you debating me when I said I wasn't okay with abortion after viability? :confused:

I dont remember, you'll have to point out the thread.

It was the abortion=murder down in the basement.
 
I'm Pro-Life, just to make sure no one is confused about that. :lol:

Huh that's strange. I would have pegged you as prochoice. Maybe I should stop playing this "let's guess their stance" game. I appear to be really bad at it. :mrgreen:
