I think a person's right to life trumps all other rights, since without that right first and foremost, there can't really be any other.

From a Catholic moral stand point, I think the best way to avoid unwanted pregnancy is to not have sex until you are married. But if you're not Catholic and are not celibate until marriage, then I think condoms are a better alternative to hormonal birth control (which can be harmful to a woman's health). Just make sure you use a good quality brand and put them on correctly so that nothing "escapes" lol.

Anyway.... I kept it short as not to derail the thread and turn it into another abortion thread.

It's not derailing here. The OP encourages us to talk about anything we want. I'm sure he won't mind. I have inside information on that.

I find your response to be great.

One thing though, unwanted pregnancies still happen. Why do you think that is?

Also, phrasing it like that is a little misleading(when talking about life). A fetus is not exactly the same as a person, not until a certain point and in certain respects, anyway.

I have some doubts myself as to whether we should allow abortion or not, but none of them stem from religious reasons. They stem from my ignorance concerning a fetus' development, ability to suffer and think, and so on.
