Unwanted pregnancies are a very serious problem. If you were a woman you'd know this. This is why everyone should be for birth control and sex ed, because you simply cannot stop sex. It's impossible.
On unwanted pregnancies, in the extreme examples, you could be knocked up by some creepo, even raped or impregnanted by incest, but just being knocked up by some drunken party boy (*like GW Bush in the 70's who knocked up a couple) who doesn't give a damn about you is enough reason. But even if you're in a normal relationship, a woman should have the right to choose. for the father it's just sperm. For the woman it's her life. Men should not be able to decide this over women. Ever.
Anytime a woman does not want to have a kid and does not want to go through nine months of labor (and a lot more) it makes sense to terminate, but do it fast and safely, preferably with a morning after pill. That way there is the minimum of mental damage and immorality, maybe even none at all. If the woman wants to give birth though, that's great. She should have the right either way.
Also, we have a huge-huge over-population problem in this world. We need more birth control not less. We actually need to reverse population growth. Or else people will start dying in other ways. Due to lack of resources, wars, disease, whatever. It is totally out of control. Traditional religious values are a huge obstacle to common sense birth and population control. And nowhere in the Bible does it say anything about a woman's right to choose, pro or con. |
