<p>l actually know someone who had a third child because the condom broke. If Plan B had been available then, I guess she would only have had 2 children. At least at that time.</p>
<p>You can’t say “no one” is going to use the morning after pill or abortion as their primary birthcontrol. Some people just don’t plan ahead, aren’t too bright, are in denial, are on drugs…whatever. Sad but true.</p>

<p>Sounds like just the type who should be parents!

<p>You are incredibly naive. I see women who have had seven, eight, nine or more abortions with regularity in my nursing unit. They frequently admit to using no other birth control, despite contact with state programs that provide it for free.</p>

<p>Yes perhaps I am naive
Those women must be incredibly fertile- and I almost beleived the web sites that state that repeated abortions will cause * infertility*.
I can’t imagine being halfway intelligent and having repeated abortions, I repeat my earlier statement, thank heaven these people are not going to be responsible for more children</p>
<p>I would hesitate to say that these women are not intelligent – perhaps this is the case for some of them, but in a lot of cases I would bet that there is more to the story. It may be that her husband is abusive and will not wear condoms or allow her to use birth control… or that she hasn’t been educated about safer, more effective forms of birth control… or that she had a religious upbringing and feels a great amount of guilt about preventing pregnancy and therefore feels “forced” to use abortion as a last-minute panic method instead of “planning” to have sex for pleasure… or perhaps in her community, the state programs which provide birth control for free are viewed suspiciously, as an agent of the white / rich trying to force these women to have fewer children in order to control various poor / minority populations.</p>
<p>Obviously, using abortion as a method of birth control is expensive, harmful to one’s health, and perhaps morally wrong (I won’t touch that one). I’m not trying to make excuses for anyone – but just because someone makes an illogical or harmful decision does not mean that they are stupid.</p>
<p>if you can go to the hospital to get what I assume is a late term abortion, why couldn’t they get an implant?
I would also assume that part of the hospitals program, espcially for women who have had more than one abortion, is education on pregnancy, on birth control and on sexual health.</p>
<p>Making one mistake, no, they aren’t stupid, maybe even making two identical mistakes, but this is supposedly 8, 9 10 repeated abortions?
An abortion is not a pleasant procedure, I would still argue that most women, would do what they could to avoid having another one.
Someone who would rather go through an abortion, than to tell her husband that he needs to wear a rubber, is still not someone who seems ready to be responsible for another human being.
So this OTC drug, sounds like a good thing, even though some people are going to abuse it apparently.</p>
