DCF, From your post "do women not know that these stupid men are not gonna be around to help them raise the children." Simple answer is NO. If the young teenage women who get pregnant for the first time outside of marriage knew that the men would not be around to raise the child, there would be far less tangoing. These young women trust & believe the young men. They're very gullible. America's double standard in raising its children does not help in this regard. There's still too much of the "boys will be boys" mentality. Still far too many "scoring" games. I'd never heard the 6 abortion average before. If this is true, you should be supremely grateful that these particular women do not give birth. The unhappy children who would be born to any woman with that little common sense would be far better off never having been born. More importantly, society would probably be saved from another predator resulting from miserable parenting. Be empathetic, Ann

<<(the rule of thumb for women that have abortions now is that they will have SIX in their lifetime!!!)>> DCF, where on earth do you get this garbage? Even in Russia, where birth control is used instead of birth control which prevents pregnancy, the average number of abortions is four. And after four abortions, many women's reproductive organs are hopelessly scarred. This is sometimes true after even one abortion. Could you please cite your source or retract it as inaccurate? It is not fair to just make inflammatory statements that are untrue on an issue that already provokes such fierce disagreements. And your url does not work, either!
