"instead of using the head between your legs" i thought that was kinda obvious don't you think? so please don't bash on the way i lay out what i say... stick to your facts... and don't point out what you think is bad usage of language that is pointless to point out because it doesn't advance your own point... (if that makes sense... hah) oh well... besides...
IMHO... abortion is wrong... and is VERY MUCH avoidable... freakin repeating myself for the 3rd dang time... purely because i am christian, and I BELIEVE THAT IT IS VERY AVOIDABLE IN VERY MANY CASES... geez... its so hard to please some people...
If I may say a few words, as I don't want to let David have all of the fun, and I've finished reading hunter x hunter, haha. So here we go.
You did switch your advocacy in that statement, and I think there are a few fundamental flaws in your thesis anyways. First of all, why do you justify using any method of contraception as opposed to justifying abortion? The morning after pill would prevent a child from being born after it was concieved, just as an abortion would. Moreover, every single word you've said is subjective. Coming from a well-to-do asian family living in the west coast, what do you know about people in a completely different situation than you are in? Think about an uneducated young female living in poverty. What is she going to do about her unintended pregnancy. There are many factors that you're forgetting about while arguing under the guise of "objectivity," namely race, social status, education, geographic location, financial status, marital status, family situation, religion, as well as others.
Another thing about your "objectivity," you talk about $8 being an inconsequential fee, but for some, it could be. Don't make generalizations like that.
Also, David didn't mispercieve your argument, nor did he your sarcasm, as it wasn't there. If you were trying to be sarcastic/ironic/funny, you certainly didn't come off that way. Even using your "head between your legs" example, that's not the sarcasm David was referring to, and that example doesn't prove anything, it's only an unoriginal quip. Maybe only people like you would pick up on your "sarcasm." I don't say that to be rude, just commenting on the possibility that those with a shared experience may percieve things similarly.
hmm... now let's take a look at this tyger style-sarcasm.

Where is this sarcastic at all. I don't pick up on the irony. All I percieve from reading this is that you have strong convictions about the status of people who get abortions. I guess you could have been trying to convey sarcasm, but in this instance you're really terrible at it. Your remark about "heads" seems to be totally seperate from this, and if you had wanted to come off as more sarcastic, it would have been better to tie those in.
With regards to the contradiction - originally, you said that abortions are easy to avoid. Now you realize that statement is idealistic, and you say that many abortions are possible to avoid. As similar as those two statements may seem, they do differ greatly. In many cases, abortions are avoidable, but those avenues are not feasible to everyone. Earlier, you tried to apply it as a maxim to everyone, now, to some extent, you acknowledge that it's not so possible.

Nothing is 100% true. Is that something that is 100% true?
Semantically, based upon your statment, 100% is 100%.
I am Christian as well, and I do believe abortion is terrible. I do think though, that people should have a choice over their bodies, I would only hope that they would choose against abortion.
