Not legislation, but close enough….here in the military if you want your insurance to cover a vasectomy you will have to be over the age of 21 and have 2 children over the age of 18 months.

It’s crazy. I’m pro-choice, because you never know what the circumstances are. Pro-lifers, what if an 11 year old got raped and then became pregnant?

See that’s one of the reasons why I’m pro-choice. I love children and I’m Christian.

I agree that tubal ligations should be readily available. Not everybody wants to be a mom. I think in Iowa - you have to be 21 to get a tubal ligation, but in other states I’ve heard 18?

Also - I think in Iowa that if you have had 3 or more kids and you don’t *want* anymore kids and you’re under 21, they can give you a tubal ligation. A friend of mine started having children when she was 14. She’s now 22 I think, and on her 3rd or 4th.. but she swears up and down she didn’t want the first too. (I feel bad for the kids. At least they aren’t around when their Mom says that) And I think she was offered a tubal ligation at age 18, or something like that. Not really 100% sure.

And I agree - why should a woman carry a baby full-term if she didn’t want to in the first place? Why should the government control a woman’s uterus and what she does with it? Good post.

If those people wanna get technical sperm is alive and you kill millions of sperm when you have sex anyway, only one can make a baby.

Just remember that on a cold lonely night when you’re trying to heat yourself up while watching the Spice channel: You’re a murderer!

I have to say that was a great post. I agree with everything you stated. I am of the opinion that life does not start at conception and have been pro-choice ever since I could make a choice on the matter.

I didnt even realise that tubal ligation wasn’t readily available.

Yeh I have no idea if it’s available here!! It must be.. but you never hear about it!

I’m totally pro-choice too, why stuff up the kids life?

For fear of repeating what’s already been said, I’ll just go ahead and state that I entirely agree with every point you made - I’m very strongly pro-choice and believe a woman should first and foremost be her own number #1 priority. If she believes an abortion is the right choice for her at that particular point in time, no one should ever be able to strip her of the right to have one.

P.S. You look gorgeous in your cam picture :)

Honestly?

I do have a problem with abortion being outlawed…

Which would mean women would have to go back to the dark days of having to go into a dark ally where they would be operated on with a coat hanger for an “illegal” abortion.

My fear is that we’re slowly but surely heading back into that dark age, and I can’t figure out why the hell the government thinks they can legislate each individual uterus in America.

If they think they can legislate a uterus, then I think they should also legislate penises as well.

Everybody has their own beliefs and the right to express them wholeheartedly. While I strongly disagree and am pro-life, I respect your views. Abortion is definitely a controversial issue, one that must be faced with a lot of knowledge and caution.
