New page

The [[forced birth movement]] claims to be in favor of reducing the number of abortions performed every year, but their actions belie this.

If they truly wanted to reduce abortions, they would support:
* birth control
* ''easy access'' to birth control
* ''free'' access to birth control
* comprehensive sex education in all schools
* ...with emphasis on the proper use of contraceptives
* teaching adolescents mutual masturbation as an alternative to sex
* empowering girls/women (so they can say "no" and mean it) by teaching equality and mutual respect

They oppose every one of these items, however, typically giving bullshit arguments:

* providing access to birth control, or teaching about birth control, encourages kids to have sex by giving the impression of condoning it
* "I don't want to pay for someone else's birth control!"

-* Their focus has always been on reducing access to abortion services &ndash; but this has not been shown to have a significant effect on the number of abortions performed. All it does is make those abortions more dangerous.

 * They also often claim to be trying to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies, but [[/reducing unwanted pregnancies|their actions always work against this goal]].
 * They also tend to oppose the idea of gay couples adopting children, thus providing a larger pool of good homes for unwanted children, which might help persuade a prospective mother to bring her fetus to term. (It would likely not make a huge amount of difference, but given some of the extreme measures they ''are'' willing to take, one would think they would be interested in any improvement in the situation.)
