"I don ' want any more children . My son is nearly ten . That is a pretty big age difference . I especially do n't want to raise any more alone , and I do n't have a big confidence level in men ( my problem due to my history with them - I know there are good ones out there ) . Current conservative legistlation has me worried . Although I am indeed abstinate and have been for years , I ca n't guarentee that in the future . And although I practice safe sex when sexually active , there are remote chances of rape , or the more likely failed birth control . I would not have an abortion unless rape or medical need - so I will do all I can not to get pregnant again - now or in the future . And it sends a message . This body is mine . I choose now - to never be pregnant again - regardless of the circumstances ."
"I think that getting your tubes tied is a responsible act . I was just inquiring about the motive for doing so . Too bad more women ( and men ) do n't share your level of responsibility . If they did , we would n't need to debate the `` need `` for abortions ."
