I remember reading that a woman who has an abortion is 55% more likely to commit suicide because of depression due to hormonal and chemical imbalances from the abortion... Still think she has her own choice? It simply shouldn't be done... people should also have to deal with the consequences of having pre-marital (and especially unprotected) sex. If you want to keep global population down, get China to stop throwing girls away like trash into adoption clinics because they are not born a boy, by telling the UN to make an ordinance or such to get rid of the population laws in China, or make it a highly penalized crime. Advocate sex-ed. Be a PARENT, and talk about "safer" sex. And make sure to say that it is "safer sex", because a condom is only 90% effective, and Birth-control is only 85% effective... bla bla bla... I could go on for ages...

1) I read that the world is going to end in 2012.  Just because you read something doesn't mean it is true.

2) Decrease population by getting rid of population control laws?  That doesn't make sense.  But yes, I agree that China's handling of the problem has been deplorable, although the situation has actually gotten better in the country because of the overall rise in wealth there.

3) This wouldn't be as much of an issue if many of the people who are pro-life weren't also against anything but abstinence only education in schools, not to mention avoid discussing anything like a condom with their kid like the plague.  I'm all for increased education about sex, but some people avoid it like the plague for some reason.

 

It wasn't just some article... It was an article in Time... although, I do believe the statistics are a little exaggerated (I believe that no one study can uncover the EXACT truth), although, I DO believe every study has its significance.. For example, the study that says "cellphones cause brain cancer, and puts those already at risk at a heightened risk" does not seem plausible considering the hundreds of other studies with opposite results standing against them... However, I do believe that it could put those with a medical history of brain cancer at an increased risk (If someone's father and grandfathers, ect. had brain cancer, it may increase the chances).

2. You never know, maybe the world will end in 2012... Maybe not... That would suck though, because then I would die at 20 and wouldn't be legal to drink...
