Contraception is abortion?
Posted On 08/14/2008 12:42:20 by FleshForFantasy
Hi,

I had to share something with you.
Can you imagine living in a place where birth control is considered an "abortion" and health insurers won't cover it? Where even rape victims are denied emergency contraception?

It seems unbelievable, but the Bush Administration is quietly trying to redefine "abortion" to include birth control. The Houston Chronicle says this could wipe out dozens of state laws that protect women's reproductive freedom and protect rape victims. And this proposed "rule change" doesn't need congressional approval.


I just signed a message to Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt, whose department is considering this rule change, telling him: "Contraception is NOT abortion.
" Can you add your voice to this cause?

If you want to sign the petition send me a message with your e-mail address and I will e-mail you the information. I read on the site that spam can hurt their campaign to stop this. I don't want to risk it.


Thanks!

I understand much better now, why I read such blog as this - it's not a
wonder from someone who writes among "turn on's" "penis" and among
"turn off's" "prudes". Matter of race.

 

I never understood why some people feel the need to critique someone personally
merely because opinions on a specific topic are different. Especially since the
blogger never attacked the commenter .



 



I didn't know that bringing up controversial topic will automatically
classify you as a bad person.   



 



Hmmm … I see that you have glanced over my profile, to find something
"negative", in order to have your quick judgments on me. So I guess
reading the word Penis had impaired your vision, preventing you from reading
"Alright, alrighty, on a serious note:" If you did see it and didn't
get that it was just a joke, then that's on you. Apparently, we don't have have
the same type of humor. You could have thought, "Well, that wasn't funny.
It's not my kind of humor." Why? People=2 0are different and we don't all
have the same type of humor. But you just went straight to judging me. Nice!
(When I said, "Nice!" I meant it in a sarcastic way just in case you
didn't get it).



 



You have also missed on the About Me section where I say, "I'm shy
at first but once you get to know me you'll see that I'm silly person and I
like to make people laugh
." (Which by the way is the first sentence).
But no, you latched on to 2 "negative" words and made your judgment
on me.



 



Yes. I said prude and by prude I mean someone who's easily offended by
the subject of sex. I don't mean talking about sex in a nasty/vulgar way
(unless you and your partner are into dirty talk and doing it in the privacy of
your own home or when you're alone with your partner).



 



Humans have sex, right? Then what's so wrong about having a discussion
of this subject? If you squirm/writhe in your seat when the subject of sex is
brought up, then are you really ready/mature to have sex?



 



Maybe that's why there's so many teen pregnancy. Parents don't educate
their kids in the subject of sex. There's lack of communication. Plus, many
parents disapprove in sex education being taught in schools.



 



Why wince when the word vagina is mentioned? It's a medical term! It's
part of a female's body. If you think you're big enough to have intercourse
then you should be big enough to at least say the medical terms.



 



Prude to me is the subdivision of close-minded. By talking about sex, it
doesn't necessarily mean that we all have to agree with everything. We have
different opinions. We can agree to disagree though, right?



 



Here's another scenario …Why not discuss the subject of sex when you're
intimate with someone that you're in a serious relationship with? What's so bad
about having an open communication and being able to talk about anything? Why
put boundaries on topics that we can talk about?



 



And instead of asking me what I meant about prude, you just
automatically assumed something negative. What was on YOUR mind when you read
the word "prude", huh?



 



Since you said, "Matter of
race", I guess it's ok for me to assume that you're one of those people
that think they know everything and yet haven't been exposed to diversity and
only uses his judgments based on stereotypes? I
understand much better now why I read such comment as this. Hey, I'm just simply
doing what you did to me.



BTW, it's not a matter of race. It's a matter of opinion.



 



Every race has a stereotype but not everyone falls under that category.
But how would you know if you don't take the time to know a person
individually? It's sooooo easy to lump someone into one category, right?



 



If this bothers you so much, then why not write an angry letter to the originator
of the petition? So see if there's a petition against this or something. I read
an article on this matter a week ago. I received an e-mail and learned that
there's a petition regarding this and I just wanted to spread the word. Is that
so wrong?



 



KThnkBye!

Quote:
Abortion
is an act to abort something!



 



So
when you write about "rape victims", it is obvious that it is an
abortion, as they are already "victims" and the foetus has to be
aborted. It is after the act, isn't it?



 



You forgot another word ... CONTRACEPTION! What makes her a rape victim?
Is she only a victim if she's pregnant? Not all rape victims automatically have
a fetus in their womb. There are different types of contraceptives. There's one
called the morning after pill which is a form of an emergency birth control and
it is used to prevent pregnancy. If you didn't know, human conception rarely
occurs immediately after intercourse. It can take as long as several days after
ovulation. If this passes, then a woman who has been raped can be denied
emergency contraception.



 




Quote:
I
am not against abortion and I think such rape victims should even have it
covered. I am actually not against abortion at all, as many people should be
aborted even as late as 18+ years.



 



But!
You can't be serious demanding to have it paid from insurers! How could they
pay every
irresponsible bitch? You
can't be serious demanding to have it paid from health service! Why should we
pay every irresponsible bitch from our taxes?



 



By bitch I hope you're including guys as well. As
they say, it takes two to tango. You can't just put the entire blame on
females. If you want to mention irresponsible girls then you should also
mention rapist. Why? Because it happens. Sure, we wish more people were
responsible and such sickos like rapist didn't exist at all but they do.



 



We're not just talking about abortion. We're
talking about contraception being under the same category as abortion. Contraception
is used to prevent pregnancy (those who want planned parenthood or don’t want
to have kids.) and among other things.  It's
not just for rape victims.



 



Birth control pills can control menstrual
cycles, reduce male hormone levels, and help to clear acne
. The menstrual
cycle will become abnormal again if the pill is stopped. Women may also
think about taking a pill that only has progesterone, like Provera®, to control
the menstrual cycle and reduce the risk of endometrial cancer.  



 



Are you worried that there will be an extra fee
for contraceptives or something? The insurers already have been paying it. It’s
nothing new. So there won’t be any extra fees. The healthcare system in the
united state is horrible. Do you think we have the best health care system?



 




Quote:
There
is such thing as condom, there is such thing as fertile days, and most importantly
there is such thing as responsibility! What sort of "women's reproductive
freedom" are you talking about?



 



Well, there is such a thing as a condom not being 100% effective from pregnancy. So if
a woman wants to be extra careful in preventing herself from getting pregnant,
then isn't that a good thing? Also, what if a person wants to have their child
at a certain time? When things in their life are stable … you know, planned
parenthood. Women's reproductive freedom = her rights to choose abortion/planned
parenthood.



 




Quote:
Because,
where are freedoms there are responsibilities as well! Can't bear
responsibility? Don't have sex!



 



So, if this were to pass, people who have strong
religious beliefs can refuse someone of birth control pills if they have been
raped, planned parenthood, or don’t want to have kids. Who are they to play
with a human beings life without knowing their situation?



 



The world isn't black and white and you just can't divide the whole
spectrum of life in two categories like fear and love. Life is complicated
because of human emotions and their actions.

and just think.... if people were more responsible in general they wouldnt have to worry about birth control and such! 


08/14/2008 14:14:43
WTF are you kidding me?! Do they realize if this would actually go into effect that the rate of teenage pregnancy would go through the fecking roof?!?!?!?!

It pissed me off that MOST insurance companies will not pay for any sort of birth control. They would rather you pay out you ass for THERE maternity insurance. What a crock of SH.IT!!!

I went and had a tubal ligation after my 3rd pregnancy because at them time I could not afford on average $35-40 a month for birth control.

Makes me absolutely sick to my stomache!
