Abortion in Black America Takes Almost Three Times as Many Lives as Heart Disease, Cancer and Strokes Combined

Please use paragraphs.

  1. Fair enough, but why did you immediately suggest how to prevent the kids from being conceived in the first place? Why not things that would help women who are already mothers, such as single-payer healthcare or affordable housing?

  2. In theory no one is forcing women to take birth control, but it's more complicated than individual choice. There are all kinds of social pressures that factor in- same with drugs such as amphetamines and antidepressants. Contraception isn't just an option, it's a mentality that pervades the culture.

  3. Debatable.

  4. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/11939239/ False dichotomy. There is plenty of evidence that contraception doesn't prevent abortions.

  5. This seems like governmental overreach. There is no way to teach comprehensive sex Ed without instilling a particular ideology and set of values. Can't find data, but it's probably safe to assume many parents don't want strangers to teach 5-year-olds about sex. I support NFP classes, but they are taught to adults instead of being imposed on children without their parents' full knowledge.

  6. No..The contraceptive mentality has enormous consequences. It tells us that reproduction and sex have nothing to do with each other. It tells us that other humans are burdens and that adult's sexual or material wants are more important than selfless love or sacrifice. It tells us that women's fertility is an illness or inconvenient fault that needs to be altered. That women are sexual objects for men to use and dispose of. This isn't speculative, we can see the effects today in much of the culture. http://www.firstthings.com/article/2008/08/002-the-vindication-of-ihumanae-vitaei. Of course, I don't believe that birth control should be illegal, but it's not something that should be encouraged even implicitly. It's an awful thing that brings out the worst in humans.
