Follow Up on Abortion

In regards to the post I made a week ago, I never said we should "force a woman to have a child". Rape notwithstanding if someone makes a choice to have sex then they are by the act of consent acknowledging the risks of pregnancy and weighing it against the pleasure of having sex. A good analogy would be a drag racer acknowledging the risks of accidental vehicular homicide and weighing them against the pleasure of racing. The choice to have sex is the choice to risk pregnancy and there for no one is forcing the woman to have the child she has arrived in such circumstances by her own accord. As a man I must say that anyone who impregnates a woman and then leaves her is despicable and a coward, this is not something any true man would do and is quite despicable. The fact of the matter is this; We, as individuals, are responsible for all of our actions, all of the time. In regards to rape, as I said in my post allow the use of the morning after pill, if it is to late then allow the baby to be carried to term and then put it up for adoption. Some cities have already adopted measures in which you can give a child to any civil servant (police, fire, mail) no questions asked and they will bring it to the right place. As far as emotional trauma, an equally convincing case could be made about the emotional trauma a woman faces for killing her child regardless of how it was conceived. As far as I am concerned the whole “pro choice” terminology is nothing more than a way to twist the issue of killing human children into an argument for women’s rights. I am pro-choice for women to choose if they wish to engage in sexual intercourse or use birth control. I am however not pro-choice of allowing parents to kill their unborn children. Used in the context of keeping abortion legal the term “pro-choice” is equivalent to calling illegal immigrants “undocumented workers” or drug dealers “unlicensed pharmacists”.
