so why are you complaining about contraception then? I don't see a reason why a married couple shouldn't be allowed to use contraception with each other
but unmarried couples use them to fornicate which is extremely detrimental to the stability of marriages.
studies show that the more sexual partners you have, the more likely you are to divorce. do you want the soda that is unopened? or the soda with 7 penises in it?
Contraception feeds abortion, because abortion is for when the contraception doesn't work properly, which is pretty often. Pills and condoms can have a 70-80% failure rate. And something like 55% of women getting abortions were on some sort of birth control. There is a risk fallacy involved where when people think they are "protected" they will engage in riskier behavior thinking they are "protected", e.g. having "protected" sex with multiple women.
please understand that I'm NOT TALKING ABOUT ADULTERY. let me say that again. I'm talking about MARRIED COUPLES engaging in sexual intercourse with EACH OTHER. stop bringing OTHER sexual partners into this because I'm NOT TALKING ABOUT THEM.
people thinking they're protected when they're not aren't educated enough. why can't we, ya know, educate people better? if you teach your children that contraception isn't 100% effective and to not have sex if you can't afford a baby, that helps avoid the problem to begin with.
when contraception is used in a way that's harmful, aka adultery, why is your solution to just straight up ban it? that's literally the same logic anti gunners use when they say guns should be banned, is that SOME people misuse it so we ALL have to be protected from ourselves.
Then are you conceding the harms of contraception in enabling fornication which leads to marital instability, broken families, abortion, and disease? Because a whole fuckton of problems can be eliminated by discouraging easy consequence-free sex.
we've had 50 years or however long of "education." You can't even get kids to take their vitamins on time, much less a birth control pill. Watch the first 2 minutes of this clip and you'll see what I mean
The difference is that guns are guaranteed by the 2nd amendment, contraception is not. Guns have an essential role in self-defense and a hedge against tyranny, contraception has no such role.
I'm conceding the harms in fornication itself, which would happen regardless of whether or not contraceptives were available. also, a lot of problems could be eliminated by discouraging FORNICATION, not just "easy consequence-free sex."
we've had 50 years of POOR education. that's why I said educate people BETTER. and also, ya know, stop encouraging teenagers to sleep around with each other. that doesn't mean BANNING contraception at all.
you missed the point entirely. what I'm saying is that outright BANNING something just because SOME people misuse it is stupid, especially when it benefits a lot of people who DON'T misuse it. think of all the married couples that use contraception. why should THEY be punished for someone else's actions?
there's not even any law that says you can't have sex with someone you're not married to, so even though it's immoral you CAN'T just ban contraception to stop something that's not even illegal in the first place.
