The problem with "pro-choice" is that it's not reserved for those noble exceptions like rape, incest, the life of the mother... rather, it has become a business (precisely why this pastor probably got so upset)... huge business that hands out condoms that are rated most ineffective to prevent pregnancies when compared to the effectiveness of store-bought condoms, in the hopes that one more teenager might become pregnant and have to abort.

That's one of the most despicable accusations I've ever seen -- suggesting that anyone would hand out defective condoms in the hopes of boosting abortion business.
Hey ShiningSonofabitch,
Motherfucking myopic. No one HOPES that they get pregnant so they can have an abortion. Besides, if it WAS a conspiracy theory, there's the chance that the parents might keep the fetus and carry it to term.
I wish an unwanted pregnancy upon you.
On second thought, never mind, as I wouldn't want to saddle some poor kid with an asshat like you for a parent.
Women will never be truly equal as long as abortion has all these stupid caveats to it. As they say, "If men got pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament." We shouldn't have to justify our decisions about what goes on in our own bodies to every random asshole on the planet who thinks he has a right to order us to give birth (and it's nearly always a he... why is that, I wonder?).
You don't seem to understand the concept of choice, dearie. A woman has the right to decide for herself if she's able and ready to become a mother or not. No-one has the right to either force her to have an abortion, or to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term.
Condoms have an 80-95 percent efficiency against unwanted pregnancies, if you use them correctly. (The little "pocket" at the top should be squeezed flat when you put the condom on, for example, or it may burst.)

You don't know the particular reasons why a woman wants an abortion, and I don't know, and the government doesn't know. The woman is the only one who knows all the factors that go into her decision. That's why it has to be HER choice.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
