- +That don't add up, Mr. Chuck. If this were truly the case, that you had
- +no moral case to argue, why on earth would you be anti-abortion?
- +Pregnancy as punishment for being irresponsible? That's good for the
- +child that results, isn't it? (But we'll only punish those that
- +deserve it, right? Not victims of incest or rape, just those that

- +If you want to argue for people to _take_ greater responsibility, I'm
- +all for it. Anti-abortionists want to cram it down people's throats.

- I wasn't arguing the moral case for abortion for the thread being
- discussed. I'm not in complete harmony with the anti-abortion folks
- either. I am trying to argue for people to take greater responsibility.
- In another post, I said that we don't need laws to foster communication
- between family members.
-
- I don't think pregnancy is a punishment or an affliction that needs to
- be "cured" by an abortion. But one must take the same measures to avoid
- getting pregnant as one should also take those same measures to avoid
- getting HIV. HIV definitely doesn't give a damn if your condom breaks,
- and once you're infected, you can't reverse the effects (currently). I
- am advocating people have a more responsible attitude concerning sex, to
- think about what the implications are, what happens if something goes
- wrong, and what to do if something goes wrong.
