It is politically to blame abortion for infertility, but fact is the well kept secret, most infertility is the result of years on birth control.

I consider myself pro-choice but when my married friend had an abortion because they use the withdrawal method of birth control and they were "...happy with the way our family is, we only ever wanted 2 kids." I lost respect for her and I am disappointed in myself for feeling that way.

8 preg, 3 abort, 5 kids, 4 different dads. I can't take birth control but obama pays for my kids since 3 of 4 dads are in prison. I don't get any child support! I can't work (don't have a car) but I still want one more when my youngest kids dad gets out of prison in 2013. He promised he will never hit me or do drugs again now that he's religious.

I can't believe there are still people in this world who believe birth control is wrong. If God wanted to control how many children we had we'd only be given a certain number of eggs and sperm, not hundreds of one and millions of the other. It's a crapshoot if you get pregnant. Birth control helps you control it.

The 'purpose' of sex is what you make of it. That's why birth control was created to further reinforce that idea. So women can finally control their fertility, So women can actually consent to sex but not particularly to pregnancy.

I'll put my DD on birth control when I think the time is right. Probably, for her, age 15 or 16. I wish there was some medication I could give my son to prevent him from getting a girl pregnant. I want my kids in control of this stuff as they get older.

While I don't want my daughter to have sex when she's a teenager, I'll probably put her on birth control. Some people think that's giving permission to have sex, but have you seen the teen sex rates, it hardly seems like they're looking for permission.

I got the Paraguard IUD today. Still feeling crampy and uncomfortable, but I'm so glad it's finally in and now I don't have to worry about remembering to take a pill the same time every day or using back up methods since hormonal birth control wouldn't be as effective for me as it is for most since I have to take medication that interferes with it. I doubt too many people would care but I had to share with someone how relieved I am to have found a solution to my issues with hormonal birth control. :)

My older DS was an accident. I was on birth control and I truly don't remember missing a pill or having to double up. His biological father resented me and blamed me for ruining his life, despite the fact that I asked him for literally nothing. Not once. After this, I will never be in another relationship where birth control is my sole responsibility. I felt so guilty, for so long. My FH and I are truly partners, and we are in protecting ourselves from pregnancy until we are ready too. Neither partner should have to bear that responsibility alone. Male or female.

Nobody vilifies men for their lack of birth control options. It's the fact that some of them refuse to employ the options already available to them is what bothers me. If theyre not willing to wrap it up to protect against std's and unwanted pregnancies, what makes you think they'll jump to use another form of bc? As far as they're concerned it's the womans responsibility and she gets blamed if her bc fails.
