O, Come on, this is easy.

If someone abstains from sex, then the can't excercise their "right" to an abortion.

Note that Sara must be pro-abortion, not pro-choice. Advocates of choice would respect a persons choice to avoid the question of abortion entirely by avoiding the risk of pregnancy entirely.

I think we're making with the funny here, but I'm not really certain. (Long story. Up all night with a dog who's scared of lightning. Oh. I guess it wasn't a very long story.)

I think Sara's point, to the extent that a 22-year-old can be said to have a point about anything, is that she thinks it's wrong to express the opinion that abstinence is a better way of avoiding a baby than abortion. This is basically the Planned Parenthood party line, that condoms, birth control pills and abortions are all just forms of contraception, equivalent in every way.

Also, the teaching of abstinence is the patriarchy's way of trying to re-disempower wombyn by denying them their Goddess-given right to express themselves sexually. Or some damn fool thing.

It encourages a particular choice, that's why.

For the record, I was a victim of abstinence teaching, meaning that in 3 weeks of sex ed, we had outside people come explain the abstinence choice and what it takes to practice that method of birth control, and they were there for two whole days. For some reason, deciding when to have sex and who to have it with is not a valid method of planning for parenthood.

Abstinence is so uncool. MTV won't have it; Sarah Jessicah Parker never immortalized it on tv; it must be passe. It certainly hasn't been tried by today's left, who converselly, want the belief to stick around so they can feel a sense of martyrdom and righteous indignation. "Oh those jackbooted traditionalists want to invade my womb!" God forbid u not feel the divine right to abort late term with impunity.

Bottom line: W feels it wouldn't be pratical to roll back Roe vs Wade, so where's the threat? Are they all hot and bothered cuz he's got reservations about it? Got forbid someone take pause at suctioning the brains out of an unborn child. They trumpet this like its the greatest human advance ever made. In reality its a sad choice, one that should be legal but hardly bandied about as a great feat of civilization.

'For the record, I was a victim of abstinence teaching'

candace, i can help you with this.

You have to understand that whenever protesters talking about choice, they are talking about choosing to stop the beating hearts of their unborn babies before chopping them into tiny pieces. Women cannot exercise this choice, if they don't have unwanted babies in the first place because they are following abstinance.
Truly liberated, progressive women should seek to be mounted by random men all day, visiting their local abortion center for a womb clensing several times a month. Embrace progress, embrace the future.

scot honey it was tongue in cheek (victim?).

by the way, you're due for your monthly update!

as I posted on Eric Dean's blog, the speaker was referring to the use of birth control, not abortion, as a right she held dearly. Read the article before you accuse a person of being pro-abortion or of regarding abortion as equivalent to condom use. That's mean-spirited.
I also infer that as a responsible and informed 22 year old, she holds dear her right to engage in safer sex. Abstinence-only education programs tend to convince kids who don't want to abstain altogether that condoms and the pill are unreliable and they skip using them altogether. Of course, many conservatives secretly relish this as they have new examples of kids with unwanted pregnancies and STDs to shame.
