It is extreme and stupid. I think Planned Parenthood's goal is to elliminate the need for women to have to have abortions in the first place by providing birth control that is easy and inexpensive to obtain. (though I'm sure prolifers will disagree)

I love cats and I had about 9 at one time. They were hard enough to take care of, let along 14 kids!

I think it is a little extreme. Planned Parenthood does so much for women that doesn't involve abortion. There used to be a planned parenthood where I live when I was a teenage. They didn't preform abortions there. They did Paps, treated STDs, and gave birth control. It was very inexpensive. I used to go there when I was a teenager to get my birth control. I remember they used to give 3 packs for only about $12. And it was all confidential. They didn't tell parents their kids came there. But a prolife group came and ran them off. It left a lot of women without insurance no where to go for affordable birth control and women's health issues. It also left teenagers no where to go for confidential birth control and treatment. Now there is a women's group, AAA, I think, in the building. They help women who are already pregnant. But they do nothing to keep women from getting that way in the first place.

I am buying a lot on ebay, especially jeans. I have even been looking for smaller sizes and buying them because I know I will need them soon. Most of my clothes are really big too, especially my scrubs. But I am going to wait until I lose some more before I buy new scrubs. I tend to wear everything until it is falling to the floor!

Thanks Cleo, that is what I have been trying to say as well. There are a lot of prolifers who want to make contraception illegal as well as abortion.

That's great! My last fill is working great. I feel like I am back on track now.

If he's offering to take care of them, she should let him regardless!

I agree. There are a lot of people who want to make birth control illegal.

That's my point exactly. Why are you against hormonal birth control but not tubal ligation?

Tubal ligation causes scare tissue which would make it very hard for a fertilized egg to reach the uterus. If the tubes are burned (which is most commonly done), it is still possible for fertilization to occur and the embryo would have no way of reaching the uterus to implant because the tubes are gone.

It's irresponsible for you to expect women not to use a reliable form of birth control just because there is a tiny tiny chance of break trough ovulation. It is irresponsible for you to push nonhormonal birth control when it is very unreliable. If you all want to prevent so many abortions, then you need to be pushing contraceptive that is reliable and not likely to cause an unwanted pregnancy.

And what about a hyterectomy? If a woman has had her uteus removed but not her ovaries and fertilization occurs, isn't that abortion since the embryo has nothing to attach to?

Don't you believe that life begins at conception? So if fertilization were to occur in a woman who had a tubal and it caused the embryo not to be able to implant, wouldn't that be the same thing as an abortifacient?

I never said anything about suppressing information. But I also think that women need to be told the truth, that is is extremely rare.

I just don't think he is. He's looking for some cash.

By the way, it seems a lot of prolifers here believe it is ok to get a tubal. Did you know it is STILL possible for fertilization to happen even though you have had a tubal??

Yea, but she's saying he's not the daddy, that he is unable to have kids.

I think breakthrough ovulation is extremely rare with Depo. I can see it happening with the pill because some women may forget one every now and then or take one late. But you can't mess up with Depo since it's a shot. So I think the odds of that happening are very small. Would you rather a woman who really does not want kids to use something unreliable like a condom or diaphragm and greatly increase the odds of having an unwanted pregnancy and then an abortion? I think it would be better to use something like the pill or Depo and not have to worry about an unwanted pregnancy as much. If it weren't for hormonal birth control, and women only used unreliable methods, I think there would be a lot more abortions.

When I click on Quick Links and then click on subscribed threads, all of mine aren't showing up. It is only showing very old ones and none of the new ones I have subscribed to. Is anyone else having this problem?

Why did it take so long to make an arrest???

Any type of hormonal birth control can make the uterus inhospitable to a fertilized egg. But it is VERY unlikely that there would even be a fertilized egg in the first place, especially with Depo Provera. It is very irresposible for prolifers to be telling women this.

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I haven't changed anything. I have had to go back and resubscribe to EVERYTHING. I also don't get emails anymore. I have sent emails, but it seems I am being ignored. It is very annoying.

I think it is a little extreme to think that hormonal birth control is an early form of abortion. As long as birth control is taken exactly as prescribed, there is VERY little chance of causing a pregnancy. It is very reliable. Advising people to avoid it and use something else like a condom or something very unreliable is more likely to cause an unwanted pregnancy. I think it is very irresponsible for prolifers to be saying this.

My husband would have gotten mad if that's all I ordered. Then he would have gotten mad if I didn't eat it all.
