All persons should be permitted birth control. Many sexually active teens, and adults alike, aren't ready to take on the responsibility of a child, or don't plan to have more for that matter. The fear of potential children not being born because of birth control is strange. The future is not, and that is how it will always be. You can't prevent the birth of something that does not exist.

If she doesnt have the right to use contraception, then you can go even further and say that she doesnt have the right to refuse sex - because once a month if she doesent a bunch of unused eggs wash out with the menstrual blood, that could have been baby´s.

And even when a woman doesnt use contraception and gets pregnent , there are often a bunch of other fertilized eggs that wash out and dont turn into baby´s (by chance)- so by the defenition claimed to be true by pro-lifers of when life starts, every woman is a serial killer.

When will puritans just get over themselves and admit that their fight against contraceptives is because of jelousy (of other people having sex) and not because they care so much for unborn lives.

Birth control I think is acceptable.

My girl friend is on it.

I think woman have every right to decide whither she gets pregnet or not BUT I don't think abortions are acceptable.

BC and Abortion are two different things.

People should be allowed birth control. If they aren't ready for a baby then they may give it up for adoption and we would have that many more children in foster care. With a rising population people need birth control to stop producing so many people, not saying they aren't good, but some people have a lot of children and are unable to take care of them leaving it for the taxpayers.

Birth Control should absolutely be allowed. There is no reason to change that. Contrary to some beliefs, birth control does not lead to more sexual activity among groups, but rather leads to fewer unwanted pregnancies. People will have sex regardless of if there is birth control, so why make it impossible to prevent pregnancy? Since when has sex truly been for reproduction's sake only?

"Does a woman really have a fundamental right to choose to not be pregnant?"

Yes, but that can happen without killing a zygote that's month's away from being a baby.

In my opinion a fetus should have a chance at having the fundamental rights that come with life. Women should have freedom with their bodies but not with a babies body. What did the baby do? What about the babies rights?

Wait, so... women shouldn't have the right to birth control because they shouldn't have the right to decide if they want to be preggers?

Well, if you're saying they shouldn't get to use birth control because it's not their choice, why not go the whole nine yards and take away their choice to have sex, at least then we'd be consistent!

What could possibly be wrong with birth control.

Male and female gametes that have not come together are nothing more than a cell carrying half our needed chromosomes. They will never be anything more until they meet up with the other opposite sex cell.

And that's what birth control does, it puts a barrier or stops the cycle that allows for the opposite gametes to meet.

As for those other controls, I call them abortion insurance. They ensure abortions of children that were conceived. Technically, that's not really birth control because once the life is formed, after it leaves the womb not in the form of an egg, that's the basic definition of a birth. Even a dead baby is called a still-born birth. Even a premee is called a premature birth. Defined by the fact their life had started. Life starts and conception because that's where development and the processing of nutrients and the process of reproduction of cells starts.

Anyhow, that's semantics, sort of, but really, there's nothing wrong with using any kind of birth control whether that be a condom or a pill. The only thing wrong is when it kills the life that has already begun. But really, that's not birth control, it's abortion.

You're question about what if my mother used contraceptives the for the time that I was conceived, well, if that's your argument, then we might as well have sex every single moment of the day to ensure that every single male and female gamete has it's chance to combine and become human. In fact, our technology is in a way right now that we could freeze the gametes we are not using and artificially combine them each and everyone.

That's both illogical and silly. Think about it, God gave us the process of sexual intercourse knowing the competition that would take place inside the whom and gave us each a bunch of cells with only half our chromosomes that amount to nothing as long as they remain separate from the opposite gamete.

Now we can disregard and not use any of those gametes and it means nothing because no human life is in them. Then they join and you have human life, and then it's no longer a male or female gamete, but a single celled baby.

Birth Controll Is Awsome..................................................................................................................

Im on birth control, not to prevent pregnancy(it helps) but to get my menstrual cycle regulated.

Is this a real argument. Of course everybody who is for birth-control has already been born.

That aside the planet is becoming over populated with decreasing resources to maintain them and this growth has exploded since the invention of birth-control. Without it the planet would be over-run and a lot more nasty things would be happening then birth control.

What if my mother used birth control the night I was conceived? I'm sorry but you're truly and honestly a waste of space and you're useless to society. To say something like that shows that you're such an ignorant white fool who hasn't finished the 12th grade.

My argument for guns being illegal: What if the same guy that shot the person next door to you decided to go to your house?

Let's ban guns!

Only the State should have the ability to decide if you have a child or not. Everyone should reporduce to make better genetic couples and therefore better offspring to further help the prosperity of the central nation state!
