Abortion not used as birth control

[fireheart17]

Given that I do swordplay, I can't imagine having something implanted into my arm- I would be too afraid of it being hit, and the resultant pain and risk of having it damaged.

IT's a very durable plastic. I've had my boyfriend's head resting on it without it breaking.

Your boyfriend's head is as heavy as being hit by a sword?

I think it's pretty idiotic to purposefully choose the most invasive, expensive, dangerous, time-consuming, and inconvenient option for birth control.

I don't want to limit a woman's access to abortion in any context, but I'm still free to think women who get them repeatedly are bloody morons.

This is my opinion.
After a little bit of googling some time ago, an extremely small percent of abortions were pure birth control reasons. Most are for health reasons. Emotional health as well as physical.

A fairly common reason teen girls have them is because they are terrified how their parents will react.

I have heard of many cases where a teen girl got pregnant and her parents would kick her out of the house and basically disown her.

I think that teenage girls who get repeated abortions are idiots mainly cuz of the health risks caused by repeatedly aborting; ie, damage to fertility. Just cuz they don't want a baby now doesn't mean they always won't want one.

I plan to get the implant later on; I'm nearing the age where it's not safe for me to take the pill any more, so the implant would be best for me. I'm a bit worried about my needle phobia tho; does it hurt when it's put in?

Yeah, there really isn't a comparison between somebody gently resting their head over something, and violent impact from a blunt practice sword. That and I'd find having something implanted in my arm or hand quite inhibitive, I'd likely be reluctant to use the limb much for fear of banging the implant. I've had pins put into a hand to stabilize broken metacarpals, and I definitely spent the whole six weeks afraid of accidental bumps, until the things were taken out.
