And in this here Modern Murika, that should be just as viable an option as yer 'blessed mutherhood'. Since obtaining a two-bull (tubal ligation) is fraught with lengthy legalities for married OR unmarrieds, and many indignities along the way, not to mention expensive as shit and it's a fucking SURGERY, yeah we have pregnancy termination since Every fuck is possibly the start of a pregnancy whether you want that or not. And abortion has been around sincepeoplebeganfucking, sweetie. Since the dawn of humankind, there have been women who have NEVER wanted to be pregnant as well as women who didn't want to bear a child then. And that is HER choice, sorry if that pisses you off to the point you sink to slut-shaming, with your "easy way out" dig. That's all that is. Sorry Charlie, but it's HER body, HER choice. An unwanted pregnancy should never be equated with punishment for consensual sex. To suggest this is sickening, and that's what you're doing, let us not lie 11:38AM. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-3274384129949684092016-09-22T18:05:04.750-08:002016-09-22T18:05:04.750-08:00One of my favorite charities/causes.

He felt embarrassed to go to his PCP because he's a friend of his family's, I told him to check with PP, sure enough, he got tested and had gonorrhea, which, untreated, can lead to infertility and all sorts of horrid things. They charged him on a sliding scale, used a nickname his friends use when they called (was still living with the rents), He paid his bill and gives when he can. <br />Thing is, Men are Parents too, and they deserve the same privacy and level of care as women.

Until it becomes a cold reality, it's really easy to throw all that pro-life anti-Planned Parenthood crap around. But when two full ride scholarships were on the line and one kid who wouldn't be able to graduate from freaking high school on time--all that noisy rhetoric just dried up and blew away. <br />Now...college grads, married and four kids between them.

Bristol, is that you?<br />Contraception isn't 100% yet and until it is, abortion needs to be safe and legal. you have to get sterilized for 100% and that's often not reversible OR realistically possible for the man or woman.<br />Most couples who've been thru abortion wouldn't agree that it's such an easy way out, as you so judgementaly suggest. And that's the point of Richter's statement, Bristol. They got to PLAN their future family together, on their time table when they were both financially and emotionally able to parent. So Yes, it's aptly named 'Planned Parenthood'.
