Being honest, I think those who believe abortion is murder should not have abortions. I think they should try to persuade others to believe as they do instead of trying to control their opponents through legislation. Legislating the behavior of others to go against their own personal beliefs is guaranteed to generate ill will.
Mostly agree. The problem is that the issue of abortion needs to be discussed at the level that most people aren’t willing (or are unable) to discuss it at. Also, everyone wants to make the issue about “women’s rights” reactively after the fact, instead of discussing it as a philosophical issue that is more about morality, responsibility, integrity and before the fact.
Nobody wants to discuss why people engage in sexual behavior (intercourse) if they cannot bear the consequences of those actions. The Bible specifically indicates sex should be between a married man and woman, and largely for the purposes of procreation. People choose to conveniently ignore this naively thinking they have all the answers and can dance their way around any type of consequence. Godless, purposeless, indulgent, reckless, irresponsible and ignorant people endorse this.
Yeah, accidents happen. People make mistakes, but instead of doubling down on additional bad choices by having an abortion, (which comes with additional complications, health risks, depression, etc.) maybe it’s an opportunity in life to adopt responsibility and be a part of something bigger than your own selfish self. This includes fathers as well. I don’t like living in a society where people are encouraged to skirt responsibility under the guise of being a “woman’s rights” issue. This isn’t good for anyone. But count on the political left to make this about “woman’s rights” and that it’s a bunch of “old conservative white men” trying to have control over women’s bodies. Guess what? Old conservative white men founded this county. Maybe they should have a say in policies that affect the bedrock of our society. Oh yeah, and also count on the left to play the the emotional arguments about rape and incest, which accounts for less that 0.5% of abortions.
You know who is actually trying to control women’s bodies? Leftists like Salmo who want women to have abortions to maximize their sexual value for other men to use and abuse. Women who get abortions have higher rates of STI’s, considerably more sexual partners, more likely to be in poverty, more likely to be raped, more likely to have untreated mental health issues, and less likely to have or be in the process of earning an education.
Maybe society should go back to abstinence sex education. While it isn’t perfect, it does offer the best solution. Clearly, sex education with access to contraceptions is not working. There are missing pieces to the solution, and nobody wants to talk about it.
