First, no form of protection is proven to work 100% of the time, even if he withdraws. So if birth control just doesn't work the way it should, is it right to punish her by giving her a child to raise for something she didn't have control? Now we're going into whether or not she should just be abstinent: Now it must only be allowed if you want to have a child? I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that... Only mothers that want to raise a child should engage in sexual behavior. That's the "Republican Motherhood" idea of "women should stay at home with the kids" that was all over the country before the 1940's and 50's. |
Knowledge is important, if you want to engage in a potentially life altering act you have to know the risks involved and not just "assume" you're 100% safe even though you're really not. Ignorance really isn't a proper excuse.
Here's an analogy:
Let's say I want to fuck my girlfriend with the HIV virus to show her how much I love her.
I "assume" a condom would protect me from being infected by that virus (just like people assume condoms will protect them from becoming pregnant).
I was told that condoms may protect me from STD's right?
A month later I get symptoms of HIV acute retroviral syndrome.
I wore a condom right? But I have no one else to blame but me for getting HIV, because I chose to do an act which could potentially give me that consequence. ( of course no one really deserves this disease).
@Montana
luin's not proposing people keep on procreating, she was just pointing out that not giving that kid a chance for life wouldn't give him the chance to reach or chase after his potential. You see, to her life starts at conception, and you're suggesting to her you want to kill that child because we have enough in this world? Why don't we just slow down in making them instead of killing them then. That sounds like a more logical approach.
