The abortion paradox

[CapnAwesome]

In Bibical Christianity, a monogamous, loving, committed, heterosexual marriage, sanctified by God, is less likely to end in infidelity, extra-marital promiscuity, family breakdown, unwanted babies, single-mothers, custody battles, family law litigation, unhappy childhoods, gender identity confusion, and the long term social pathologies which tax payers have to provide for years later after the initial damage is done.

The problem with this (or rather one of many problems) is that it simply isn't true. http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_dira.htm

Atheists and Agnostics have the lowest divorce rate, and Conservative Christians have the highest in the United States. Not really surprised that someone making the claims that you are hasn't properly researched it though.

(Edit: Jews actually have the highest, Conservative Christians have the highest amongst Christian Groups, Atheists still have the lowest.)

Why do the Christians place a ban on abortion while they simultanously encourage all the paths leading to unwanted pregnancy? I mean:

- lack of protection (both catholics and orthodox ban condoms and from what I have obserced the sheep really adhere to this)
- lack of masturbation (and hence poor awareness of one's own body and response control)
- repressive culture (and hence abnormal behaviour like sudden outbursts of suppressed feelings including murder or rape or both)

I do not perceive abortion as a matter of free personal choice - I am actually against it because it is just cruel to the little human being. BUT: I think we should not ban abortion before we ban all the stupidity leading to unwanted pregnancies. Condoms should always be used not only to protect oneself from pregnancy but also hepatitis, herpes etc. Masturbation should be regarded healthy and normal. And there should be less hatred and hypocrisy towards sex and sensuality in general. If that was the case, the amount of unwanted pregnancies would just plummet towards zero and there would be no need or will to abort. What do you think?

I've always been under the impression that it was to breed more Christians (or Muslims). If you encourage marriage, women to stay home, ban contraception (seriously!) Keep women uneducated baby-makers, etc. You end up with more people who believe like you. In every country where secularism increases, birthrates drop. Somebody figured this out centuries ago and millions of sheep are going along with it today under flimsy moral pretenses about the value of a cytoplasm.

If you can't convert them, breed more.
