We are talking about sex here, friend, the most primal instinct in man. It is naive to preach such pie in the sky stuff. Besides the idea has been tried for centuries. It's not working.
Oh, there's preaching going on alright. You should listen to yourself and the way you sneer at anyone who hints of being Christian.
Back to our discussion. Obviously the people gratifying themselves without taking the time to protect against pregnancy, are the careless, wreckless individuals that create the problem in the first place. But no, you just throw your hands in the air, give up, and insist that the only solution is to snuff out the life that is created. And *that* idea has been tried, too. It ain't workin' either.
Another primal instinct is to eat. We have an obesity problem in the world too. According to your logic, people shouldn't practice self-control and eat less or take the time to exercise.
Your premise is, "If it feels good, do it until your heart is content, and the consequences are someone else's problem."
People of nearly all non-Pagan religions completely disagree with your philosophy.
Next time you find a couple stray cats of the opposite sex, why not capture them and keep them in your house. Let them do whatever their instincts tell them to do. Soon enough, you'll have an overpopulated house chock FULL of starving cats and fecal matter.
Just because something is "instinctive," doesn't mean it should be practiced with reckless abandon.
