Um, birth control pills are designed to prevent ovulation, not prevent
implantation. IUDs are designed to prevent implantation.
Some people BELIEVE birth control pills prevent implantation and are
hence abortifacients. At a significantly higher dose than normal,
that can be the case, but they are designed to prevent ovulation so
the whole implantation thing never comes up in the first place.
Why would any adult not want to have children? Are they not a source of
almost infinite joy in the lives of those who have them? Are they not
great treasures? To pass up a chance for a child is like walking by a
100 dollar bill on the sidewalk and not leaning down to pick it up.
Only the barren and lonely do not have children. It is a sad situation
for any person to be in. Of course this is just my personal feeling,
but there was a time when it was shared by a great many others in our
nation. That was back when we were reproducing rapidly enough to BE the
illegal alien problem instead of HAVING an illegal alien problem. --JWR
1) Not all people are suitable for parenthood. It's not easy. I have
respect for people who decide that they're not going to be as good at
parenting as their children would deserve.
2) If you decide you want a child, you'd better be prepared for the
possibility of it having special needs, because a number of them do, and
if you can't handle it, it's going to suck big-time for that child.
