Come on, @dontalltalkatonce, I think it’s fair enough to say that if as a woman you really don’t want to get pregnant we are lucky enough in this country now to be able to do our utmost to prevent that without stigma, using a myriad options.
It IS a woman’s choice if she is prepared to risk it by having sex knowing she has skipped pills that month, by not using any contraception at all, or not going to seek the morning after pill if she DOES end up having taken risks. We all have to take responsibilities for our own bodies and what could happen to it.
In many other countries they don’t have contraception easily available and have to live with the consequences of unplanned or unwanted pregnancies, in a background of grinding poverty.
I respect any woman who has genuinely done her utmost to prevent a pregnancy, knowing that they could not financially support a child, and who has a genuine contraception failure, or who is raped with pregnancy as the outcome, and who does not want to have an abortion, needs all the financial help and support they can get in my opinion. As does anyone whose circumstances change through no fault of their own.
There are thousands of families who would dearly love another child, who work FT to support their child, but can’t afford childcare etc for more and so do their very best to prevent another pregnancy, as much as they would love another child. Because with the right to have a child comes the responsibility to provide for it properly. Some women don’t have that view.
