The first thing I find insulting and offensive about this billboard is that it is only directed at black women. What is up with that? I certainly don't agree to abortion as a method of birth control but why direct this at one racial ethnicity rather than all women?

And I was speaking about an actual nine year old south American girl who had been molested by a family member and found to be pregnant with twins in a country where the Catholic church has a little more power than they do here in the state's.
The doctors and nurse's said that the pregnancy would damage the girls health and there was a good chance it would kill her. They took it to court trying to get the govt to allow her an abortion. The Catholic church spoke out against it and tried to put pressure on the govt to not allow it. Eventually they agreed to allow it and the abortion was performed.
Originally the church was going to excommunicate not only the medical staff that did the abortion But also the mother who fought so hard for her daughter's health and probably life. And because they had to jump through a bunch of legal hurdles the abortion that should have taken place asap was delayed a month or two.
But that original decision was reversed and the mother was let off the book.
Interesting that the man who did this to a nine year old child, although he did jail time, his crime wasn't considered bad enough to warrant excommunication. Just like the priests who have abused little children were protected by the church.
Right now we have a bunch of laws in the pike and some of them have no exception for rape or incest. If they were to actually be enforce I think you can forget about
any future nine year old in similar circumstances being able to have it taken care of in the first couple of months because the doctor will either be more inclined to have a wait and see attitude and not intervene until there is no way to deny the child's life is threatened or it will wind up tied up in court for a few months.
I won't go far as to day that God
Doesn't really care much for the females in the human race but the men who have took it upon themselves throughout history don't seem to have cared much for them.
I think everyone should be more responsible. But, how would you legislate that? Remember that this argument is about whether we need new laws, and how those laws will be written.

A women can sleep around with a hundred different men and yet it will only produce one pregnancy in a year's time. How many pregnancies can the man produce in that year's time if he is sleeping with a hundred women?
One careless women will only produce one unwanted pregnancy. One careless man could produce five? Ten?? Twenty??? Fifty????
When it comes to one on one personal relationships ya it comes to a 50 to 50 responsibility but on the broader spectrum like a society on a whole I really think men should hold way more than they hold.
That would only work in your fantasy that all humans are perfect little angels just like you.

Which leads back to just my just say no to sex idea. Ya know if You don't want kids at the present time just don't have the sex. If that means that your husband or wife has to make a choice between breaking their marriage vows or going a year or two celibate well they should be more than willing to accept that out of respect for your wishes.
But no birth control is a hundred percent effective and quite frankly a few moments of pleasure isn't worth losing your rights to a small little lifeform within you If the pregnancy goes badly.
Funny thing a lot of people just didn't like that idea. Maybe it was the way I presented it.

Until you stop seeing people as lefties or righties, the big picture will elude you. Not all people fit into neatly packaged boxes.

I’m sure you welcome folks telling you how to live your life? By your logic, if i don’t let you control me, i’m racist?
I'm not referring to you personally. I'm saying the lefties embrace a double standard that is unbelievable. As I said, they're free to tell you how to live your life, but not vice-versa. If you disagree with them, you're the enemy. You're not allowed to have a different point of view.
Truth is the new hate speech.
Both sides try to control you. Do you even realise, that If you want to ban abortions, you are trying to control people? Do you not get that? The people who you would call righties are the one’s trying to control people’s lives in this scenario.
I’m saying.
Stay out of people’s business

Nd even that, saying to stay out of people's lives, is an attempt to control others.
You can buy a billboard that says anything you want. Let others put whatever they want on the billboards they buy.

What about the women whose husbands force them to do an abortion? Abortion is not birth control. It is a medical procedure to eliminate a genetically deformed fetus, or a dead fetus. Otherwise it's murder. Don't have sex if you don't want to be pregnant. Quality government education on birth control should be taught at twelve and fourteen, sixteen, and eighteen in health class at school in our free public education. The bill board should read birth control at the FREE CLINIC is self care, or abstain from sex until married. Democats are at it again. My mother 76, my niece, and I argued this all afternoon and now I want to leave and not come back for a year. What a way to ruin the day. Women's rights are about educating yourself and making smart choices. Visit the doctor. The FREE CLINIC is the new planned parent hood for getting birth control for no income people. Put that on a bill board!
Yea, we should convince billboards to mind thier own business /sarc

Have they figured out a way to self abort the child safely?
If so why all the alarms of back street serices that killed millions before the legal alternative? So all this crap that women will die if roe vs wade is repealed is just that crap?
