The problem with this is that I didn't say that hock: It was actually someone replying to my post, I am completely against the ideas mentioned like forced monogamy etc.
Just to clear things up: I think that there is a difference between an acorn and a fetus with head, eyes, legs etc. I heard that in ancient times women were able to terminate an unwanted pregnancy with some kind of herbs, very early on. The problem is that contemporary medicine is not able or willing to terminate when it is not much more than an acorn and they just wait until the fetus develops which is really beyond me.
Anyway, what I was trying to imply is that we should focus on preventing unwanted pregnancies first so maybe there will simply be nothing to abort in first place.
As for explaining the paradox of banning condoms on one side and banning abortion on the other, I like the explanation of producing more Christians. This way you can waste more lives on wars, have more taxpayers and people will be less defiant when crammed into their flats with their whole extended families instead of living independent lives.
I am not a female nor virgin male Still, I do not consider condoms uncomfortable. I find the isolation from unwanted "gifts" like hepatitis etc. highly agreeable. I think most people who despise condoms simply had problems with maintaining erection while putting one on. It is a purely psychological thing. Pills tend to kill women's libido so I highly prefer gloved love to making love to someone who is practically a pharmacologically neutered female
Yeah, there is actually no real reason for abortion to exist. There are sooo many options for birth control it baffles me how anyone becomes pregnant on accident. Even though I'm pro-choice on the basis that cells don't have rights, I feel very little sympathy for those who become pregnant 'on accident'
I did however quote you on accident, still getting used to how the forums work.
