No. I just accept that children are a potential consequence of sexual activity, no matter how many of the numerous options one uses to try and prevent pregnancy.
I can honestly say I’ve never had sex with a woman I wasn’t prepared to marry and raise a child with. That’s how I was brought up.
Misery is the intent of human life. The Soul cannot be tested without trouble, misery, and pain.
That (rape) is the one circumstance under which I believe abortion to be an appropriate OPTION, and should be available to the woman… so long as she’s willing to assist in the prosecution of her assailant.
So you don’t believe in the “life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness” as stated in the Constitution?
I have never been pregnant outside of marriage nor have I ever sought an abortion. My “surprise” will celebrate his 49th birthday this summer.
But I also had 2 miscarriages, the first one was incomplete. It was well after 6 weeks. They had to do a D&C to stop the bleeding.
It has always fascinated me how you pro-abortion people deliberately overlook the fact a human being is being terminated.
There is no one in the world who is “pro abortion“. No one.
You keep ignoring the facts. 75% of the women getting abortions live below or just above the poverty line. 60% are married or in a committed relationship and already have children. 1/2 were using birth control the months they got pregnant.
Follow-up studies on women who’ve attempted to get an abortion and we’re unable to do so, show that five years later virtually all of them were much worse off both financially and emotionally. None of these women or their children were thriving. Even those who gave the babies up for adoption were in worse shape than they had been when they got pregnant.
I want kids to have a chance in life. I want them to be loved and wanted. Unwanted children have higher rates of crime, higher dropout rates. They suffer more abuse as children. They don’t grow up to be happy, high functioning people.
It’s no accident that 20 years after Rowe v Wade became law, the crime rate in the USA dropped by 10% in one year. That’s the highest yearly drop in crime since they started keeping statistics.
Forcing women to give birth to children, they can’t afford to bear or raise isn’t saving innocent lives. It’s condemning them.
