Why, Onyx? Accidents do happen. No method of birth control works 100%. I've even heard of women who had their tubes tied still getting pregnant. If the woman is morally opposed to abortion, why should the guy be able to skate? For that matter, if a man does not want to be responsible for a possible pregnancy, then shouldn't HE take steps himself to ensure one doesn't happen? Men can use rubbers or get vasectomies, you know.

I don't understand your post. You're asking why after 12 weeks I feel a woman should not be able have an abortion? (Understand if something happens in pregnancy, it may be medically necessary, and I'm ok with that...I'm speaking for the other 98% of the population....)

Because 12 weeks is three months. You have three months to figure out if you (and perhpas your partner) want to kill the living thing inside you or give birth. And since we all know we can't force other people to get sterilized, Mari, as the gender that carries the child, it's ultimately our responsibility if we get pregnant.

Yes, some women that have had tubal ligation get pregnant. So? They have 12 weeks just like everyone else. Who said anything about the guy being able to skate anywhere?? You're confusing me....
