murderers, hethens and teens. redundant??
I was reading an article today that got me thinking about abortion. It’s not something that typically comes up. I regularly avoid it because, to be absolutely honest, I don’t see it as my decision in volunteering my services in the first place, I’m diminishing my role to that of a respectful debate partner with only a secondary vote. I’m sure I’ll go into my views on the subject, but not here because these posts ring loudly of moronic perspective and not now. I’ve discussed why religion is out-dated in another post, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a religious exclusive. And it’s more an issue of preparedness than age, but teens bear the brunt of the controversy. Because I was thinking about it, I thought I’d throw up some questions I doubt any of you will answer that crossed me lids.
When were babies considered to be alive before sperm or eggs were discovered? Why have so many anti-abortion activists had abortions themselves? Why, even with substantial evidence to the contrary, is abstinence-only education promoted by these groups as a way to decrease the number of abortions? When have teenagers, in a phase of establishing social independence, not been enticed to do what was prohibited or frowned upon by authority figures? In a culture driven by a sex sells mentality, what use is it to tell teenagers they can’t do what all their media influences are doing? Why are advocates for the eradication of abortion condoning violent and murderous acts against those clinics that they claim are facilitating murders themselves? And why are those bringing these attacks considered heroes? Why is it any more just to have a child when ill prepared so as to provide a life of degradation, poverty, and hopelessness?
And finally, if children are bombarded by sex from an incredibly early age… flooded with hormones in varying levels with the onset of puberty… spending the majority of their day in school with the opposite sex… while not learning about any consequences other than pregnancy from sex-related play… and led to believe that any contraception is a form of premeditated murder… how are they supposed to make an informed decision about doing the deed in the first place?
