seem to make a significant differ ...[text shortened]... ere is in believing things based on faith as opposed to reason and evidence.
i believe that abortions should be made illegal.
i believe that should a woman willingly engage in da sex, she should be willing to accept the consequences. this means that:
1. rape victims should be allowed to have an abortion if they so choose
2. the father must be legally obliged to accept the consequences (if the woman can point him out obviously)
i believe that abstinence is idiotic and useless.
i believe sex ed should be taught in schools, the rule should be if you entered puberty, you get the sex ed.
i believe that arguing that illegal abortions would cause a lot of deaths for people who would have them anyway is like arguing that making it illegal to do heroin would lead to a lot of deaths of junkies who take it anyway
i believe that abortions should be legal if the life of the mother is in danger or if the child has an untreatable genetic disease and would have a poor life quality
i believe that should a woman get pregnant because of engaging in sex of her own free will it would be the height of douchebaggery to sacrifice a life instead of 9 months of her life (most countries make it illegal and rightfully so for employers to fire women because they got pregnant). after giving birth, she may give the child up for adoption if unprepared to raise it. a child with no parents is better than a fetus thrown in the garbage.
