There are probably as many different definitions of c*******m as there are bugs in a rug, but I am very much interested in hearing what your definition is.

If you use it perfectly, the pill is 99% effective. But people aren't perfect and it's easy to forget or miss pills — so in reality the pill is about 91% effective. That means about 9 out of 100 pill users get pregnant each year.

IUDs are one of the best birth control methods out there — more than 99% effective. That means fewer than 1 out of 100 people who use an IUD will get pregnant each year. IUDs are so effective because there's no chance of making a mistake.

99% is a pretty good track record. In response to the 1% of woman that "accidentally" get pregnant. You have fifteen to twenty weeks to remedy the situation.

Are you kidding? The Dems are the ones that are promoting "Red/c*******tic" ideas: CRT, restricting free speech, loss of gun rights, restructuring our language (woke speak), replacing e******y with equity - and on it goes.

Ok, let me try again and retype your words.

1. It's NOT always intimacy. (OK, call it sex, or c**pling, or intercourse, or gettin it on, or doing it, or copulation, or anything else that flips your switch. I was just trying to use a tactrul term to identify what I consider to be a very personal issue)

2. How hard is for you and others to understand? (Perhaps you too have a few "blind" spots in your understanding of the issue.)

3. Men MUST also take responsibility for their actions. (I never said they shouldn't. What I said was, "the result of unprotected sex impacts far harder on the woman than the man. Common sense tells you that with very little effort (the pill, the patch, an IUD, etc.) the woman can avoid the trauma of an unwanted pregancy.

4. As many have stated, it takes sperm to create a fetus. (Yes, I know that)

5. Without sperm there wouldn't b a fetus. (You repeat yourself)

6. By the way, not all fetuses turn out to be females! (Of course not. What I said/implied was, "is a female fetus granted the same "control" over her body as a pro a******nist?)

Sorry I messed up this post twice.

(Should the " movement for (female) control over ones own body" include female fetuses? Just a thought?)

As I said and continue to repeat: Control over your body begins before the first moment of intimacy with a man. An unwanted pregnancy is the result of lack of control over your own body, not the cause.

I'm not recommending anything but with two of our sons (sensitive digestive tracts) we switched to goat milk and everything worked out fine. We even had our own goat.

it all depends on your mind set......some women see carrying a child as exploitation while other women are overjoyed to have a child and still others take p***e in being surrogate mothers. The real issue is how do we form one bill to satisfy the needs of every woman, including the unborn females?

...again, I remind you: if a woman desires real control over her body it begins before the first moment of intimacy with a man. An unwanted pregnancy is the result of lack of control over one's own body, not the cause.

The low unemployment is because c***d money allowed millions to leave the work market and head for welfare and other handouts. That is why so many businesses had to close for lack of help. Low unemployment should mean that most job positions are filled but that's not the case. Many businesses had to close for lack of help and others cut back on their hours because they can't find people to work.

Here's another thought. In the last year over 2 million i*****l i*******ts have moved into our country....where are they working or are they too on the welfare rolls?

Well done, you certainly did a great job of capturing the "mood" of the city.

Thank you, everyone, for your very kind comments.

thank you for your kind words.

Maybe, just maybe, it's difficult to meet the needs of our citizens because we're too busy meeting the needs of two million strangers.

Thank you. I always appreciate your insightful comments.
