If abortion and contraception were unlawful and unavailable, women would take greater care to educate themselves and control their sexual behavior. At least that's the observed behavior of the female of the species PRIOR to the invention of "The Pill." Sure, women got pregnant because they had sex when they shouldn't have done so, but not nearly at the rate they do now BECAUSE contraceptives and abortions are lawful.JimC wrote:Contraception is part of responsible sexual behaviour, Seth. If education and other measures were improved, it would make abortion a much rarer event...
Now, I don't have a problem at all with contraceptives, it's up to the individual to decide whether to use them or not, but paying for them is not my problem or obligation as a taxpayer.
Fuck all you like, use all the condoms and pills you like, but do not expect me, or anyone else, to fork over tax money to pay for it, pay for it yourself.
I really don't see why this is such a controversial stance.
