The only method proven to be 100% reliable in preventing pregnancy is 100%
abstinence.  However, I'm not one of those people that believes that sex is
something to be ashamed of... nor do I believe it is healthy or laudable to
lead a sexless existence in ones adult life.  People can do "all the right
things" and still end up with unwanted pregnancies.  Therefore, at least in
my mind, your alternative in not a reasonable alternative.

I'm afraid you have completely lost me in that last paragraph... "prohibit
women from doing a number of things with their bodies"???  I'm talking about
control of reproductive processes... what are you talking about?

"You simply want to have the convince available"... please -- no personal
attacks on my character or I will simply end this discourse and place you in
my twit filter.  I'm afraid you are making character judgments about me that
are based on faulty premises.

I'm afraid you missed my point... I believe a woman's right to control her
reproductive processes supercedes the right's of a developing fetus.

You missed the point again... abortion is a legal medical procedure and you
are once again wandering off into the territory where moral beliefs and laws
hold equal weight -- which is not the reality of our system of government.

Education and compassion for the human condition are the only effective
tools in fighting abortion -- not by vilifying a legal medical procedure or
making it difficult to access.  Your tactics invariably turn the people
whose very minds you are trying to change away.
