abortion allows women to change their birthing period to line up better with when they are ready, financially, mentally, and emotionally, to be a parent. that is, women tend to abort when they are young, poor, and single, so that they may bear children when they are mature, comparatively wealthy, and married. this, in turn, allows them to more fully care for the child during its formative years, rather than trying to raise a child (or several) on a very limited income and working two jobs to keep her fed. poverty, of course, breeds crime. it is also a vicious cycle that is hard to break. so, the chance of the child becoming a criminal or a burden to society is much lower if the woman can choose when to bear the child.

in addition, the reduction in population allows social services aimed at children, particularly schools, to function better. if schools function better, children can learn better, and become better members of society for it.

all this, in turn, leads to happier children, happier parents, and a better society.

Birth control accomplishes all those things and isn't quite so controversial... just sayin'.

I'd rather see less abortions and more birth control.

Why limit ourselves to innocent babies. Why don't we kill all disabled and retarded people too?

Look at the social services they eat up.

Think of how much better we off we'd be! :disgust:

Here's a thought, if you're not married and don't want to have children, don't have sex.

Yeah, what am I thinking. Expect teenagers to exhibit self-control?

It probably won't happen as long as society keeps glorifying sexual promiscuity.

Why limit ourselves to disabled and retarded? What about just people who are just 'slow'? Wouldn't society be better off?

Here are a couple of thoughts for you...

Birth control measures (other than not having sex) that exist today are very effective, clearly the number of abortions done in this country suggests that a lot of people are having sex and not using birth control.

If people having sex aren't even using birth control, for whatever reason, I don't think they are going to abstain from sex, do you?

So it would seem reasonable to support birth control. I always wondered about that. It seems to me that pro-life people would be the strongest supporters of birth control. Being realistic for a second, people are not going to stop having sex. They aren't. You know it and I know it. So if we don't want abortions, wouldn't birth control be the next best thing?

But some of them are against birth control as well, sex is only for procreation. Birth control interferes with G-d's will. Anything that prevents that sperm from hitting that egg is evil. S-E-X is bad bad bad. Just ask any one of those wacko pharmacists who refuse to fill birth control prescriptions. Those pills are the work of the devil, only evil Satanists think about, much less perform sex, for any reason except to go forth and be fruitful & multiple. Well not too fruitful, cuz that's probably Satan's work too.

Just remember, sex is bad bad bad.

And those that don't agree will all be damned to hell...


or worse, they may be condemned to live in Florida.









Save us all :disgust:

I've been lurking for quite awhile around here. I've noticed that you'd fit in well with Orwell's "Junior Anti-Sex League." Did you get castrated prior to puberty? Not a flame, really! It just seems like you have no concept of sexual attraction or desire beyond what is taught in your bible.

I think society would be much better off if the anti-rights people would have simply been aborted in the first place.

Your arguement doesn't do much to sway anyone's opinion. Do we as a society want a child to live in a low income household with a neglectful mother, or do we as a society want to kill that child to spare him from the misery that we assume will be his life?

But then, when you are aborting that pregnency, are you really killing a child? And the debate goes on and on, etc.

I know someone who, because of religious beliefs, doesn't plan on having sex until he's married. Since I am the liberal agnostic, you might be surprised to learn that while a lot of people I know give him crap for his decision (we ARE college students after all), I defend him. Not because I agree with his decision (I certainly don't understand it), but because sex is a personal thing we all need to deal with in whatever way feels "right" to us.

That's the problem here. I don't mind Rip's views on sex. I certainly don't understand or agree with them, but I can understand why he might have them. What I mind is that he thinks *I* need to have the same views he does. That's the reason I always defend my buddy, because not once has he ever given me crap about my decisions regarding sex, so I return the favor.

But that's exactly my point, we have all these puritanical people who think their duty in life is to enforce their views on everyone else, presumably for the good of society. Yet they combine this with an approach that is destined to failure. It's like the war on drugs, or the drinking age. Because drinking until you're 21 is illegal, and because drugs are illegal, it makes them less safe, not more so. People don't stop drinking or doing drugs, but instead of doing it in a safe and educated manner, they binge drink in dorm rooms and do drugs cut with who knows what that they got from some punk drug dealer.

I don't agree with the whole Republican Sex Patrol thing in any case, but even if you are morally agreed to it, it's still stupid to stick to your guns in the face of overwhelming evidence to suggest your approach isn't working. Fine, Rip and friends think sex is only for after you are married. Unless their only purpose is ranting, I don't think they'll have much luck convincing everyone else of that viewpoint. So since people are going to have sex anyways, why not make it as safe as we can?

I don't understand why some people get so angry with those who insist that if you don't want to get pregnant, don't have sex. It's the truth. No matter how strong those urges are, we all get them and it still is your own fault if you get knocked up.

Personally I didn't wait until marriage. But I knew what I was risking, and although I am a man and abortion isn't legally my choice, I would never approve of one for my unborn child. I've never been mad at others who did get abortions, they simply have a different view on the subject than I do. I grew up in a society where it was seemingly acceptable, and I don't see how I can get angry at someone for comforming to the opinion of their culture just as most of us humans do.

I personally don't agree with the idea of telling ppl not to have sex because they still will.There's alot of idiots in this world and if you agree to have sex with someone and either one of you gets pregnant because you didn't know better I almost feel like seeing you get stuck with it.Then again we all can't go around and be a$$holes about it like I would but you should know better thats why condoms(and birthcontrol) exist for a reason. Even being in Florida I've always been shown in school and etc.. to be smart if you're going to be screwing around.

Accidents happen but atleast be safe.

Preaching abstanace doesn't work. Only though knowledge of how to prevent unplanned and or unwanted pregnacies will you see the "aboration rate" decrease.

Actually not a bad idea! If you're paraplegic, give 'em the option to commit doctor-assisted suicide. If they're so retarded that they cannot contribute to society in any way, euthanize them.

That should free up at least $5 billion that we could use towards education, health care, child care, worker retraining... you know, stuff that actually raises the standard of living of people who can appreciate it.

Thanks for bringing up the topic Riprorin!
