My belief is not taking responsibility for your actions is "immoral"
To make this apply to abortion the arguement must also be wether or not having an abortion is "taking responsibility." I argue it is not and did give an example. I also requested if you disagree please provide support for your stand as I have done.
Back when fertility was an issue, I was fine with my wife deciding to have an abortion if our purely recreational sex resulted in an unwanted pregnancy. She knew that would be my wish as well. Our use of birth control was a clear indication of our intentions. Of course we recognize there is a small chance our efforts to avoid pregnancy would fail. Abortion was our fall back solution to the problem. Your suggestion of avoiding the sex altogether was not an option for us as we were determined then as we are now to have a good time. But by all means do what you feel is right for you.
If you would like to make an argument for why other people should feel as you do about this, go ahead. But if analogy to burning down your neighbor's house is your best shot, don't bother.
