This is why we're going to be stuck with abortion for some time
Marriage as a social institution in the west is gone. It is a luxury good. In that “Nice to have, not needed”. Young women don’t want it as they can get support from the government. Young men fear it as it can lead to a lifetime of payments and judgements.
Now you have the average age of loss of virginity going up, with no marriage, and most men are seeing there is little chance for a relationship.
That is how societies die, or burn.
Yes. Soon after Roe v. Wade forced legal abortion at any time across the country, a Planned Parenthood guest lecturer came to my high school biology class to “teach” us about birth control.
The takeaways of that “lesson” were that—
1) Birth control is dangerous and ineffective.
2) Abortion is perfectly safe.
3) There are health benefits for having a late term abortion.
4) The idea that a fetus is alive is laughable. (Literally: the guest lecturer said that “some people believe a fetus is alive. Hehe. Some people even believe that the sperm and eggs are alive. Haha!” But she offered no scientific evidence that fetuses are dead until birth.)
I was puzzled at the time, since it did not seem to me like the education was really about birth control, avoiding pregnancy, or any of the stuff I expected, as a high school student, to be taught. With age and wisdom, I have realized that the lecture was nothing more than a 50 minute infomercial for abortion.
That was in 1975. How many millions of young women have received similar “education” from Planned Parenthood since then?
