i'm pro choice just because i don't feel that it is my place to decide if someone is or isn't ready to have a baby. however, i would never personally have an abortion. however, THIS is just taking it too far...

    That's just what the south needs right? Ugh! I'm totally pro-choice too, but seriously? Doesn't Alabama and Mississippi have to highest teen pregnancy rates or something?

    We had something like that on the ballot here in CO last year. It was something like classifying a human zygote as a person with rights... The zygote is just a mass of cells and doesn't even have a brain or spinal cord yet, let alone the capacity to choose to be alive... I voted it down as did the majority of those in CO. I hope those in Mississippi do the same and DON'T do this...

    If it weren't for BC I would probably be pregnant and not continuing toward my weight loss Goal. I have a weight goal before I feel comfortable getting pregnant again. And believe me I want to get pregnant again just not right now!

    That's utterly ridiculous.

    Not to mention people use birth control for other things... I take birth control pills for my skin, my friend takes hers for really bad cramps.

    Not to worry.... even if it gets voted in - it will never stick.
