I think the estimate is 97% of men masturbate.
Some people just don't feel the urge. Nothing wrong with that.
I was wondering how far you're willing to go to keep women from having abortions. When you make something illegal, ultimately, someone can go to jail for doing it. If the crime is pre-meditated murder, which many pro-lifers claim to view abortion as, the sentence would reasonably be twenty-to-life. Would you want a woman put away for twenty years for getting, or attempting to get, an abortion?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

You may be right but it is probably best to counter-shame them just to be safe.

It really depends on how far into the term that woman is....if it is an early-term abortion, then even though I disagree with it, my anti-censorship nature could get in the way. I would prosecute for late-term abortions such as the case when a doctor in America butchered babies after they had been born, but that was a very extreme and disgusting outlier.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Butchering babies that have been born is not a late term abortion Polaris.....it's murder (or at least malpractice  ).

So it looks like polaris isn't exactly pro life after all.

I'm pro-life in the truest sense of the term (except when it comes to PETA aka People for Eating Tasty Animals).

I think other pro-lifers would disagree with you on that. Didn't you say you would allow early term abortion? That doesn't sound like a pro-lifer to me. Just out of curiosity, how early is that? How late in the pregnancy would you deem in acceptable to abbort? Would you therefore, force women further along in their pregnancies, to carry the feutus to term?

I've recently grown rudimentary legs and am now making the move from water to land.

Pro-life is more akin to a Pro-death and Pro-negligence position.
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.
