There is one method of birth control that is 100% effective
By abstaining from sexual intercourse, you can be 100% sure that you will never get pregnant (unless your name is Mary, or Joseph, you live in Jerusalem and God has other plans for you).
Therefore, there is no reason for an abortion.... unless you are raped or the mother's health is in jeopardy.... in which case society can make an exception.

If someone does not want to get pregnant, then the right choice is to abstain from sexual intercourse. The reason is that by using other methods, there is a small probability of failure. If failure does occur then abortion is the solution which requires that the individual view the fetus as a parasite, or a clump of cells in order to make themselves feel better about the abortion. The individual feels bad about abortion because deep down inside (subconsciously) they realize that they are committing a selfish act. The dictionary defines the word "selfish" as: The act of placing one's own needs or desires above the needs or desires of others. In this case the couple are placing their own needs and desires (the need and desire for an orgasm) above the needs and desires of the fetus (the need for a womb and the desire to live).

Abortion is currently mainly used by people who are too irresponsible to abstain from sexual intercourse and risk getting pregnant for a few minutes of pleasure (instant gratification). The one who ends up paying the price for said gratification is the fetus. If this isn't selfish, I don't know what is. Side: Yes, there is

In theory, there is this mutation that can occur within a woman that causes immaculate conception. It hasn't been proven, but it's a possibility. Therefore, abstainance may not be 100% effective. :D It makes me happy to throw that out there... for some reason. I need a life. x.x Side: No, there isn't

I agree with you on that one joecalvary. In fact, I believe when a woman goes to an Emergency Room after the report of a rape, she should automatically be given the "morning after" pill. That way she will never have to know if her violent attack resulted in pregnancy. She is already going to have to endure the STD tests and worry if she was given something that antibiotics can't fix. Forcing a woman to endure 9 months of pregnancy, unforeseeable hours of labor and giving birth to the seed of her rapist is, in my opinion, like she is being raped over and over again.
