Seattle Times had an article a few days back on the search for the perfect contraceptive, because, apparently, the pill isn’t good enough:

But despite the freedom in career and family planning the pill extended to so many women and couples, it has not fulfilled one big hope. Fifty years on, about half of all pregnancies in the United States are unintended and 22 percent of pregnancies end in abortion.

The only foolproof and perfect contraceptive that’s available to each and everyone – men and women for that matter -  is called abstinence. M-W defines it as:

1 : voluntary forbearance especially from indulgence of an appetite or craving or from eating some foods
2 a : habitual abstaining from intoxicating beverages b : abstention from sexual intercourse

We already have the tool at our ready disposal to prevent all the problems mentioned above. But, we don’t want to have anything to do with it. Go figure.

Jokes Apart

UPDATE: CNN wants a male birth control pill … that’s also called abstinence.

I am a human too

Guilt-free abortion is one of the perks in a socialist/communist society, but, thankfully, we are moving away from that model here in the U.S.A. one state at a time. Oklahoma has passed a law, over-riding an earlier veto, that:

… requires doctors to show women an ultrasound of their fetus and point out its physical characteristics—even if the patient was impregnated through rape or incest.

The Week calls it unconscionable because:

The first measure, which legally requires doctors to give any pregnant woman considering an abortion an ultrasound probe, plus a “detailed description of the fetus,” before she makes her final decision.

and,

It stipulates that doctors cannot be sued if they decide not to tell an expectant mother that her baby has birth defects.

I personally think the bill is unconsidered “unconscionable” because it will potentially detract women from actually murdering their unborn children when the fetus becomes more than just a piece of useless flesh.

Hey, that’s just not acceptable. We want an abortion NOW! Planned Parenthood and all those murdering doctors need to make a living, after all.
