? Also, the only 100% effective methods of birth control are abstinence
? and the pill.

Boy is she possibly in for a surprise.  The pill is not 100% effective!

? I most certainly will not agree with you that all women should use
? birth control or accept the consequences until this society takes a 
? stronger stand on requiring men to take responsibility for birth control.

I have to wonder why someone who thinks outlawing abortion is an attack
on women's rights but thinks society - do you mean govt? - "requiring"
men to be responsible for birth control is not an attack on men's
rights!!!  And the pro-choice people in general claim pro-lifers
shove morality down their pro-choice throats!!!  It's evident the issue is
whose morality is going to be the law and whose is not.  I've never
bought the argument that anyone was shoving morality anywhere since the
law is basically legislated morality anyway (most law).

? Lastly, I don't think that anyone in their right minds uses abortion
? simply as a method of birth control.  

In CA, poor women can get free abortions from state money whereas birth
control is not free.  Economically, some women see it as making sense
to abort rather than shield.  Judge for yourself but they do use abortion
as a birth control method.

? Women agonize over their choice,
? but it must be THEIR choice!  It is a last resort. 

Some do, some don't.  It must be their choice?  It is a last resort?
People should not be choosing when other people die.  The power is too
great.  Abortion as a last resort is so inaccurate.  I wish it were true
but it is not.  By the way, what do you see as alternatives?  Apparently
you don't believe in adoption.  Lately, I've had resume-like literature
from couples who are seemingly desparate for an adoption.  They are willing
to pay and sometimes very well!
