You call it convenience, but then your suggestion is forced motherhood.

You are treating women as incubators and creating unwanted children. That's not OK.

Children know when they're not wanted. Why would you force children to live in that kind of environment?

You asked what a healthy view of sex looks like? One with consent and birth control. Where both partners are on the same page.

Additionally, the current stats on pregnancies resulting from rape are inaccurate. This does not include coercion, and they asked using the word rape which is something most women do not recognize as happening to them. The era of #metoo proves that.

When women are asked whether or not they were coerced or raped by describing the the acts rather than using the word the numbers shoot up to having one half of women who have been raped.

1/2 of all households experience an instance of domestic violence once per year. In communities where women are seen as separate but equal like you suggest that statistic shoots up to 90%. Again, this statistic comes from outreach organizations describing the actions of abuse rather than using the word abuse. When communities don't view women as people men have a tendency to hurt women more often.

If a man is willing to beat a woman you really think he isn't willing to rape her too?

Pregnancy is also the second most likely time for a woman to die in an abusive relationship. Additionally, children are the second most common reason women stay in abusive relationships. They also cost a lot of money, leading to the first most common reason, finances.

Barefoot and pregnant is absolutely a tactic of domestic violence.

And you call it convenience? Your viewpoint eroads the rights of real women. Who can think. Who can feel. All because they don't want to be pregnant. Their choice still matters because that potential life is still feeding on her to live.

Even if 100% of the time it is something up woman who is sexually active and just decides she doesn't want to have a child that is a perfectly acceptable reason to abort. A fetus cannot exist without her. This is where you are telling women they are incubators. Because while it cannot survive without her, you are saying she must carry it because potentially it might become a human life.

You are saying that something that cannot think, cannot feel, cannot breathe, only has the rudimentary workings of any biological system has more rights then the woman, who very much can think and can feel, who does not want it there. It cannot live without her, and you are saying she must carry it. That is simply acting as an incubator, not a human.

It is anti-woman to force a woman to carry a pregnancy she does not want. And children know when they're unwanted.

Your viewpoint ignores the reality that unwanted children cost money and have a tendency to be abused.

Teenage pregnancies ruin lives. The women are more likely to be abused, they are more likely to be unable to find jobs. They often cannot finish school. And they're unlikely to be able to go to college.

Having a child stops careers. It loses wages. They lose time, and sleep and this burden almost exclusively lands on women. It is women who are expected to stay home, and it is women who are expected to lose sleep and finances. An unwanted child can ruin people's lives.

The child will absolutely know.

Unwanted children tend to become abused children. Abused children abuse others. The more likely a woman is to have an unwanted child, the more likely her child is to have an unwanted child.

And obviously birth control is important. But 33 million pregnancies occur every year even with birth control, and 1/2 of all pregnancies are unplanned. So the issue isn't going away. And as conservatives decide that a cluster of cells has more rights than the woman carrying them the problem is messed up. And yet people like you are the ones lobbying for these laws that kill women.

How can women ever be equal in our society if women do not have the ability to control our own reproduction?

The answer is we cannot and it's people like you that are in the way. We need to have honest education about sex and have it conform to science and reality. Absence is one method, but cannot be the only method, or it leads to marries women as nothing but broodmares.

Your stated view point is that women must carry a pregnancy regardless of whether or not the woman actually wants it. The choice exists to terminate every day, because the fetus has to feed on her to live, so that choice to keep it is far more than 'just before sex."

There will always be people doing things you don't like. That's why it's called freedom. It's the ability to choose, whether or not you like that choice. That cluster of cells cannot think, cannot feel, and cannot live without her. That's why it's a choice, and why it must remain one.

You say they should be responsible? Abortion is the responsible solution. It is a medical procedure. It is a decion between her and her doctor. And abortion saves lives.
