If you want to outlaw abortion, you should make it illegal to be a deadbeat dad as well. Agreed 100%
Obviously, I'm not saying everyone should have unprotected promiscuous sex. In this day and age, unprotected anonymous sex is a stupid this to do. But just because you've had sex doesn't mean you "deserve it" if you get pregnant. I stand firm on my argument that NOBODY should be having promiscuous sex.
What I'm trying to get at is that there is an inherent inequality in our society to day as regards women, sex and pregnancy. For those that haven't realized it, yes this statement is true. It's a bigger and more daunting issue than many think. However, this issue is not as dismal as it appears if, yet again, fathers weren't so "free" to not accept responsibility. Again it boils down to promiscuity.
The is a gift/responsibility which is ours from a biological standpoint, one that we should therefore have the right to control. The responsibility should be shared between married couples as was intended.
So practically speaking, in order to really accomplish something, I feel that the pro-life movement should focus more on fixing the reasons why women have abortions in the first place and not just work toward banning it without dealing with the root of the problem. I partially agree. I think the pro-choice movement should also focus on the root of the problem. Then again, I'm thinking the roots I see vary from yours and the majority of pro-choice advovates.
