Is it normal to have had 6 abortions over 25 years? it's legal here (australia)

Sounds like you need a membership card to the abortion clinic hahaha.

Ever considered getting tubes tied?

I think so, you've probably just been unlucky with getting pregnant when you're not ready despite taking precaution. The withdrawal method is a terrible way of preventing pregnancy by the way, and the Billings and rhythm methods aren't a lot better. There's a reason why condoms and the pill are the most common forms of contraception; it's because they're the most effective.

Your two-week old embryo is way smaller than an ant with an even smaller brain. Ironically, the people calling you a murderer would step on thousands of ants in their lifetime and probably eat meat every day. Slaughtering many full grown pigs per year for their family's dinner plate is fine but killing something smaller than an ant once every four years makes you a serial baby murderer? Full grown pigs are a million times more intelligent and sentient than a two-week old human embryo. It's no wonder that abortion clinics get bombed in the US but nowhere else in the world.

This post illustrates that morality is relative to culture. I am also Australian and I can tell you that it's completely normal for women to have had at least one and often several abortions by the time they reach menopause. Six is quite a lot so you must either have been very sexually active, very fertile or irresponsible with your contraception. Prostitutes tend to have a lot of abortions, so without being rude, were you a working girl?

In Russia, abortion is considered just another form of contraception. That was true 20 years ago. As to whether it's still true now, you'd have to ask a Russian sexually-active female or gynaecologist. Coming from my culture, I think that's abhorrent as it's a last resort, not a lifestyle but one every four years, as you have done, is obviously not a lifestyle and nor, as you've indicated, have you used it as your form of contraception.

I can't imagine that sucking out something the size of an ant with one of those abortion "vacuum cleaners" that they use is going to do any serious and irreversible damage to your body.

Withdrawal, Rhythm Method, and Billings Method are not forms of birth control. They are only old wive's tales. No wonder you got pregnant so many times.

Your body, your rules. I don't care. None of anyone's business but yours.

Well I don't know if it's illegal (as I'm not Australian) but the fact that you're on here almost bragging about how many abortions you had is certainly imorale and sickening. You seem to think that because you abort your babies 3 weeks after conception that this ok, but a baby is a baby from the miraculous moment of conception and no amount of posts will convince me otherwise.
Some people would give their sole to the devil just for one chance to given the gift of a beautiful baby and here you are I'll say it again bragging (or so it seems) So that more innocent lives are not lost I would suggest you change your contraception as it is quite clearly not working. If you do not use contraception I would advise that you do so because abortions should not be used a form on contraception.
As for your friend 10 abortions not normal but I wont start on about that as I will be here all night. x

Considering the majority of women have fewer than one abortion in their lifetime, it's not normal to have had 6 in 25 years.

What's anormal here is not the fact that you got abortions, and it has nothing to do with the fact that it is legal or not. I just do not understand how after your second time of getting an abortion you did not get a real contraceptive. I mean it is usually hard psychologically and you should maybe consider a tubal ligation surgery, so you will no more have to endure this.

Seriously something wrong with whatever protection you are using. I agree that you might want to get your tubes tied or plant your eggs in the bank. If you have no eggs and it is so hard to not get pregnant this might help. Put your eggs in a bank and you can pick them up later. This will let you have sex whenever you want and with nothing to fertilize the sperm will die. That or tying your tubes tied but people getting fixed sometimes still report it not working. So with your poor luck I think you should take away the eggs to make sure.

Abortion should never be used as a birth control method

You girls really should buy some condoms, you know '-'

I say get your tubes tied. 6 abortions later you want another kid??? Hmmmm...... Adopt one!? I'm sure the condom don't break every time!! Maybe your not putting it on right. or your having hardcore ruthless sex. I think your first child should be takin away and your tubes should be tied. You must be feeling guilty in some way or you wouldn't have brought it up and obviously you don't care much about the privacy or whatever or you would have asked people for their options.

You're very fertile. I have yet to get that problem

LOL I like that you call Australia a liberal country because it has abortion. A say thats a totally normal thing. Somewhere like the US where it's like frowned upon is ULTRA conservative.

6 abortions? Most people have learned their lesson by their 1st..

I think it's your business alone what you do with your body. Sure, to me, 6 abortions seems like a lot, but whether it's NORMAL is simply not my place to say.

Take it up the arse instead 100% foolproof way of not getting a bun in the oven.

It's not a science rocket.

Are you serious? Your poor uterus. A little surprised it still functions. I don't think this is normal. Abortions and the morning after pill are not forms of birth control.

I would say it is normal.

I wouldn't worry, we take the brain dead off of life support with no problem. As we know intrinsically that consciousness equals life. A zygote or young fetus has no consciousness and therefore no life.

I do not believe that anyone should have that much abortions in that much time. I think the limit for abortions (on purpose not from rape or any other forced sexual contact) should be 3.

This sounds VERY FAKE. if it's not, I wonder why this person really dosn't want kids, she murderd them all before they were born. Poor kids.

You are going to hell, you slut!

I just think its very selfish to have had 6 abortion and I'm sure she's going to have more and already having a child. I think shes a little more busy doing other things. And the time and what not..... Doesn't even really matter. Her child's gonna learn about mommys past and I hope she learns and thinks horribly of you!! Not as a person but for what you did.

wow, that is terrible! And men still don't have the right to tell their woman to get an abortion when they knock the bitch up?! And there is people like this woman on the loose?! Fuck that!

Why does no one exept me and I'msupernormal relize this is probibly fake. 6 abortions, bullshit. This person also isn't making Austrailia look good place to some of us. I hope this is not normal there or anywhere else. Does anyone out thinks abortion is wrong? (like me)

That's not normal and "going in early" doesn't make it okay, murder is still murder liberal country or not six abortions my goodness don't you feel guilty.

My troll sense is tingling

Give up sex altogether, and find your place in the convent!

Um, way to go? I dont fn know.

Not my place to tell you whats what, bu six abortions?, six? ,if youre under 25 like most of the people on this sight, it may be time to give your life a long hard look, starting withn your sex choses

Eww your uterus must be sore

I'm completely pro-choice, but see a doctor about alternative methods of Contraception. It's not good for your body or your mind to be doing this!

Try toys then you won't get knocks up.

Mistake? 6 abortions later and it's a mistake. Sounds more like routine!!? A mistake is when someone has an abortion maybe once..... and takes every step to not make the same 'mistake' again specially an abortion. Taking something out of you that you know it's going to grow into a child. wether you want to say its living or not. It needs blood to survive oxygen too right? hmmm that's not living? Whatever either way every time you fuck you know there's that chance to get knocked up. It's not put in side of u on accident YOUR putting it there every time you lay down and spread your legs and let him cum inside of you. 6 abortions maybe you should lay of the sex a little, huh? I mean I'm not telling you what to do its just common sense. There's got to something that works other then abortion. Hmmm.......... Think about what that child might look like and what could be in life if you didn't take its life away.

It's terrible because in a way it is murder. However I believe it is better to have an abortion and save those babies from a life with a mother like you.

r u and ur friend both whores

It seems like you've had an awful lot of bad luck. It's not for me to judge. I've always been pro-choice, but I'm not sure that I could go through with one myself, as much as I don't want kids. I'm lucky that my birth control over the years (pill, implant, IUD) has been effective for me.
To all those that say abortion is murder, what about the IUD? It doesn't always prevent a pregnancy, it just makes the womb so thin that if pregnancy should occur, the embryo can't actually implant in to anything. At that rate, birth control must be murder also.

If abortion is murder = so what, I killed some people.

If abortion isn't murder = so what, I did it.

If abortion is murder than GUILTY AS CHARGED! No regrets no looking back and if I got pregnant again DAMN RIGHT I AM HEADING STRAIGHT TO THE CLINIC!!! I am not ready for a baby! And of that makes me a murderer than that's fine. I'd rather be though of as a "baby killer" than a delinquent mother!

There's something wrong with you!! Maybe you should just get your tubes tied if your just going to keep killing them. Or better yet just get your uterus removed.

100% in favour of abortions and the parents right to choose if they are willing and able to be good parents or not and despise pro-life people pushing the ideas read in some fictional story on to people (as if there is not enough starving abused neglected children in the world we need to force people to have unwanted kids - if your imaginary friend called god didnt want abortions he wouldnt have given man the ability to perform them

BUT

6 in 50 years even is really 5 too many, seriously if the numerous avail birth control options fail then get the morning after pill please, there really is no need to have 6 unless it is health related.

After the THIRD you should have started to use AT LEAST 2 forms of birth control with 1 being condoms or the pill pref. both!!!!

Wow, each embryo was only 2 weeks old? You must be seriously precise and on the ball with those pregnancy tests ma'am. I mean, I know it's totally possible to test with that kind of precision but exactly 2 weeks and 6 times? That's impressive.

Oh yeah, the ethical issue. Yeah whatever. I know a few people that have had over 6 but most women I know that have had abortions have only had 1 or 2. I'm not a fan of it, but hey. 2 weeks... that's insane.

if this is true then it's pretty much proof that some people use it as birth control rather than a "life saving operation" that the pro-choice fans like to claim it's used for.

Yeah it's normal. I see nothing wrong with Abortion. But why are you sharing this?

Morning after failed? Have you made sure the guy uses a condom? You must have the worst luck ever.

Wow

This sets a record as "fakest post ever seen" in my whole almost 5 months here.

OMG ABORTION IS JUST REALLY BAD YOU CANT DO THAT ITS OK BUT YOUR GOING TO HELL BY THE WAY STOP ABORTING ITS WRONG YOU HAD A CHANCE TO LIVE GIVE THEM A CHANCE GIVE THEM TO ADOPTCI0N

I've never had children but
I plan to some day. I will say that maybe if you'd just have one child ya know just carried it for nine months and then gave birth and then held it you'd realize that somebody no matter the circumstance did that for you. Having a baby to me is like a nuclear bomb. They are way better but right when the bomb sets its done. No changes. I'm sure ud b a good mom. Every day a mother learns to raise her child. From age 1 to 100. Look at my mum she's not perfect but she had me and nnow she is appreciated
