>And no, in making a comment like the above about our societies thinking on these issues, I'm not attacking you. So don't get defensive about it.<

That would have been much more effective without that second sentence. The irony was that I did not think it was personal ... until the second sentence put an oddly confrontational tone on it.

On to the content ... I doubt gravely that a significant percentage of young women, even in the most secular demographics, considers getting pregnant to be a game, or a fetus to be a plaything. While I agree that such an attitude is unrealistic, I see it as a fringe-minority occurrence. So if we did indeed get away from that attitude, what do you envision the effects as being?

The only way I can turn your opinion into something of consequence is to insert an unstated idea after "Pregnancy changes lives anyway". That is to expand your displeasure from excessively casual pregnancy to the sex act itself. This is a pretty strict result, so I step back a pace and ask you: Am I reading you right or simply winging it?
