I got an abortion and never told my pro-life boyfriend about it.

Question: If people aren't ready for children then why are they having unprotected sex? I know some BC have a negative impact on the woman, but dental damns exist too. If it's your body your choice then make the choice to prevent pregnancy instead of terminating one? And if the man doesn't want to wear a condom don't have sex. Why put yourselves in a situation that is so divided when there are numerous ways to avoid unwanted pregnancies. (of course this isn't about rape or incest, which are less than .1% of abortions anyway. As of 2015)

And why do men get some blame when the woman wants to keep the baby but when it's about abortion all of a sudden the men are nothing. They have to pay child support if they don't want the baby and they're opinion doesn't matter but when a woman doesn't want the baby it's only her choice. Both people made the baby, they should both be responsible for it. I don't understand the double standard here.
