I think I'm going to write the date & time down, for a small miracle has happened: I agree with chess9. Or maybe he agrees with me.
One way or another, I have a few comments to make...
Often they don't have the choice - as in rape. - Toolgirl
The word I object to here is "often." How "often" do you really, truly hear of women who got pregnant from rape? How "often" are they just too lazy to accept the consequences of what they did? This is summarized perfectly by woodie1:
Let the good times roll.
Sex is not necessary for life, believe it or not. There are millions of people who get along just fine without it. Do they want it? Probably. Do they need it to survive? Absolutely not. Sex has two purposes, which are mutually inclusive:
1) An enjoyable activity for couples to engage in, & one that brings them close physically, emotionally, & spiritually.
2) For procreation.
Unfortunately for the Pro Choice people, the two are inseperable. There's no switch on your equipment to choose "Pleasure" or "Business" before screwing whoever it is you're screwing. By taking the pleasure & joy of purpose #1, you've inherently accepted the responsibility of purpose #2. The fact of life is that sex makes babies. It's an incredible process, not something to be taken lightly. Granted, we have ways to prevent pregnancy from ever happening in the first place. Birth control is a
wonderful thing, allowing people to engage in sex with very little fear of pregnancy. But birth control isn't perfect. I'm living proof of that. My mother was on birth control when I was conceived. (No, I didn't really want to know that, but I do.
) What it really comes down to is
if you're having sex, you're liable for the outcome. If, for whatever reason, you don't want a child right now... DON'T HAVE SEX!
OK, now let's say you've ignored the last sentence, & you ARE pregnant. We'll assume that you had sex willingly, enjoyed every minute of it, but are now regretting this baby that you're carrying. Guess what? That's your responsibility. As people, we hate responsibility. Nobody wants to take responsibility for their actions. What's that you say? You don't want to accept the responsibility either? Did you not understand the deal ahead of time? You were well aware of the possibilities, and you accepted the deal the moment you took off your clothes.
For all you Pro Choice people... You do have a choice. The same choice everyone else has. Guys, keep it in your pants. Girls, keep your legs together. Then there wouldn't be a problem.
