Abortion Viewed in Moral Terms

[A Theist]

Is it? Kind of strange? LOL, I'm amazed at some men who always act like pregnancy happens as if a woman just decided to have sex with herself -- "hey, what the hell, I'll take a chance just this one time, irresponsible bitch that I am, and ooohhh -- I can't wait to have my next abortion!" -- and ended up pregnant. And now it's all her problem. At what point do these men decide they have some responsibility? Three dates? Marriage? See, 'coz for women, it's different. They don't get to decide when they'll take responsibility. If they get pregnant, they're responsible -- WHETHER THE MAN STEPS UP OR HE DOESN'T.

I covered several scenarios where a woman could end up "unexpectedly pregnant" in an earlier post. Seriously, if you can't figure this one out, you're living in a different reality than I am. If there is one single person on this board who hasn't at one time or another, not one single time, had unprotected sex and just crossed their damn fingers that a pregnancy wouldn't result, please -- feel free to speak up. I'm going to bet on a big fat ONE.

Because I'm sure you haven't... right?

No I haven't. Even if what you said was true, it's still incredibly irresponsible. The fact that the majority of people have been really sexually irresponsible doesn't mean that it's not irresponsible. I've been sexually active pretty consistently for a decade and I make sure that whoever I'm with is either on the pill and if they aren't for whatever reason I wear a rubber. Always. It's not that hard. Carry a fucking condom with you. I absolutely do not want a child nor do I want to be the cause of an abortion. Lets face reality for a moment most abortions are not from one of those scenarios but rather from people being irresponsible.

I'm as pro-choice as any of you but it's crazy to think otherwise and it's also crazy the (left wing) mentality that if you do not agree 100% with you guys you are some woman hater nazi. Give it a rest and admit to what actually goes on in the real world. I'd love to get just one of you to admit that the majority of abortions are the result of people making bad decisions. Just once. Maybe STDs 'just happen' too.

That is exactly what most of those douchebags think....if you can call it "thinking."

No it's not. It's a strawman. Why do you guys only recognize strawmen arguments when they are applied to your side?

I think it's because these hypocrites are blinded by their own double standards.
