“As for forcing someone to carry, bear, and deliver a child they can’t afford and don’t want to or know how to raise is societal suicide.”
Bad key board! Bad, BAD keyboard!
Should have typed:
“As for forcing someone to carry, bear, and raise a child they can’t afford and don’t want to or know how to raise is societal suicide.”
My apologies for my key board’s behavior.
Utter garbage.
Societal suicide is the government paying, housing and feeding women who consistently have children out of wedlock.
Societal suicide is encouraging promiscuity along with all the free contraceptives one needs at the taxpayers' expense.
Societal suicide is promoting homosexuality and encoding it in our laws.
Societal suicide is easy access to marriage and even easier access divorce, where families are torn apart.
Societal suicide is found in secular, amoral societies like ours that state in the Constitution, "No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty save in accordance with law," yet despite never passing a law, Federal judges have trampled that amendment with a snap of their almighty fingers.
Outlawing abortion in cases where the mother's life is not in danger is NOT forcing anyone to do anything. If a man and woman create a baby through sex, the only "force" involved is the ultimate natural force: biology.
If I drink wine and get drunk, is there an outside governmental force making me get drunk? No...that is cause and effect. It's nature. Do I have a right to petition the government to make non-alcoholic wine so I can't get drunk; or provide me with an antidote so drinking wine has no physical affects? Nonsense. Government cannot regulate nature.
People have choices and reason. They can not have sex, they can sterilize themselves, they can use a multitude of birth control from hormonal to prophylactics to NFP. If humans fail to use their reason, they are not forced to do anything...biology simply takes it course.
Or are you one of those people that believes that biology is a burden and a false construct? That we humans should be freed from our biology? If you do not want to create a child, figure out how not to do so.
The government is not God; do not petition the government to override God's creation.
