A medical ethicist who supported abortion said the following shortly after Roe versus Wade:
“The ethical principle is that pregnancy, when wanted, is a healthy process, pregnancy, when not wanted is a disease – in fact, a venereal disease.”
Joseph Fletcher, The Ethics of Genetic Control: Ending Reproductive Roulette (Garden City, New York: Anchor Press, 1974) 142

When you run about Without precautions You'll get diseased And need abortions And up till now No vaccination Can give you back your reputation We want We want your body We want We want your body We want We want your body (repeat)
Cathy go home Without your daughter In a welfare state She'll be well looked after And it's easy now This other person Is off your back not a burden
We want We want your body We want We want your body We want We want your body (repeat) Body
Mayhap in his case this might be true ... he is obviously suffering from a long term problem and venereal disease in his history could be the culprit.
He was an Episcopal priest.
So was I. I “renounced my orders” 20 years ago.
This is nothing but “Justice is the interest of the stronger,” but in vestments.
Even 40+ years ago liberalism was a spiritual disorder..
Change “pregnancy” to elderly parents or unwanted children (after they are born). Next step on the slippery slope created by the mental illness that is modern liberalism.
Fortunately for Mr. Fletcher, his mother did not consider her pregnancy a “venereal disease” and did not seek “treatment” for such.
By his logic, if a person got a venereal disease and wanted to have it, that would make it a healthy thing.
“Fortunately for Mr. Fletcher, his mother did not consider her pregnancy a “venereal disease” and did not seek “treatment” for such.”
And unfortunately for us...
Oh wait till you see my next thread...on bacteria! More amazingly stupidity coming from the left.
“The ethical principle is that pregnancy, when wanted, is a healthy process, pregnancy, when not wanted is a disease – in fact, a venereal disease.”
My teachers would have slammed me for a run-on sentence. Punctuation!
I just read it and you are correct.
Good point! That logic also says if that person wanted to have a sick mind, then their sick mind would be considered healthy. No wonder the liberal mind is sick and considered good.
After which “mental illness” will be a reason now that conservatism is considered by some to be a mental disorder.
