proof that some CM's don't know what they are talking about

Some CM's argue (rather forcefully) that there is no such thing as an "unplanned pregnancy".

This report confirms that:

"Almost half (49%) of pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned, and almost half of these end in abortion (43%).    http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/journals/j.contraception.2011.07.13.pdf  "

Quote taken from: http://www.thenationalcampaign.org/resources/pdf/Briefly_PolicyBrief_FactsAboutContraception.pdf

Regadless of peoples OPINIONS about things the FACTS are very clear.

</end rant>

Many people have oopses and don't want to accept them.

 I think they are trying to convince us that even if the baby is unplanned, there was some subconcious desire for a child at that time, and that somehow makes it planned.....

i think that the CMers argue that those unplanned pregnancies are from people not using BC correctly or at all and therefore, yes it's 'unplanned' but they should have known better?

IDK. My son was 'unplanned' but I wasn't using any sort of protection so it's 'my own fault' (and for the record I would NEVER go back-he is my everything and he's perfect)

My mother thinks that too. She think that if you don't plan not to have a baby you planned to have a baby.

Its bull. Sometimes we make "bad decisions" like not taking our birth control per doctors orders. Doesn't mean we can truly anticipate the outcome.. planning to have a baby is picking out a name and saying "wanna have a baby? Okay I will meet you in the bedroom in ten minutes and I will fuck your everlovin brains out"
