The crime of abortion is that some don’t see it as murder or killing. Isn’t it ironic that a mother with postpartum depression who drives her car into a lake and murders her baby will be arrested, but a mother who has an abortion at any gestational age is seen as “brave”, doing what was right for her? Albeit some pregnancies are a result of rape or incest, but I would argue that is a small fraction of abortions. I believe that abortion is a callous and self centered decision. There are so many birth control options out there and adoption is also a viable choice for those who don’t want to face the responsibility of decisions they recklessly made. But it is my body, my choice. My answer to that is there were two involved when this baby was created, those two need to make a decision. Until men are held accountable legally, men won’t learn to make responsible decisions regarding sex and the possibility of pregnancy with or without birth control. There is always the possibility of entrapment by some devious female, so both parties should keep that in mind when engaging in a sexual act. Entrapment can work both ways. Responsible decisions is the key here. There can always be undesired results from one moment in time: STD’s, pregnancy, pregnancy with physical, financial and emotional handicaps for mother and/or child.
I can't upvote this enough! So true. People are so entrenched in the thought that they should be able to have sex without consequences. Free sex for everyone! Even on these boards of supposedly "moral" people, I see so much objectification of women, normalization of sexual acts, etc that make our population no better than liberals. A woman should be skinny, perfect body, and wear revealing clothing. Men should be buff and unable to control themselves sexually. Even our "side" is hypocrites. We need to begin to accept the consequences of our decisions on both sides (even when having sex!), hold everyone accountable for their actions and their decisions. One of those consequences can be a baby, and the baby shouldn't suffer because we are complete morons.
