Yes, let's recap these basic, unchangeable facts: 1. People aren't responsible. 2. People have sex. 3. Men ejaculate irresponsibly. 4. Women have unintended pregnancies. 5. Women will end unintended pregnancies. NOTHING you say or do or legislate will change these basic facts. So the grown-ups have acknowledge all of these facts and have figured out the best solution for society: 1. Provide sex education. 2. Make contraceptives (esp LARCs) free and easily accessible. 3. Make abortion safe and legal. This reduces the number of unintended pregnancies and unwanted children. |
Do you think those 1928 rapes were all committed by strangers? Rape stats show that half if women knew their attackers. Don’t use stats stupidly. They do not further your point. |
So you don't care about embryos? Just fetuses? The baby doesn't become a fetus until the 10th week of pregnancy (~8 weeks after fertilization; ~7 weeks after implantation). |
Not the men? Just the women? You're a misogynistic asshole of the highest order. |
DP. PP (and others) only care about having control over women’s bodies. They don’t care about the embryo/fetus/infant or else they would back a whole host of other policies/legislation to encourage parenthood, like parental leave, affordable healthcare, decent and affordable daycares, good public schools etc. abortion is only about turning women’s bodies into public/male property. |
Once again, the omission of the importance of teaching values and responsible behavior to our young people. Why isn't it included in your list? |
You're free to teach whatever values you want to your children. What you are NOT allowed to to is punish women and make them have children they don't want to do, in order to reinforce your values by making the stakes higher for your children. |
Also consider that they're just uneducated, and believe that it goes from embryo to six-month fetus with no interim steps. |
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE WOMEN KNEW THEIR ATTACKERS, THEY DID NOT CHOOSE TO HAVE SEX WITH THEM. |

Do you think it's important to teach responsibility and good values to all children? I work in a school system, and I'm referring to what our young people are seeing, listening to, and internalizing on a daily basis. It ain't pretty. |
Netflix is replacing sex among the middle class. We are on the same track as Japan save for immigration. We are becoming a country of anchor babies |
It was on the list: Proper sex education will teach young people about the different birth control options available (incl. abstinence) and the associated risks. And, by providing easy access to BC, we do promote responsible behavior. |
I think that's not on topic. But yes, I do think that teaching comprehensive sex ed and consent is a big part of teaching responsibilities and good values to children, and would reduce the abortion rate. But that's kind of orthogonal to the subject at hand, which is banning abortion. |
Dear god, I hope you are a janitor. |
