Sex sex sex

Some of the company's clients that came over today, and are still here, were talking about sex, and how whether someone was cranky because she hadn't had sex lately.

That reminded me of a website that I came across by a longshot, called Maggot Punks. The site engages on abortion issues, and the guys and girls that run it are pretty much anti-God and anti-anti-abortionists. Before I go on, I'm going to predict your question and say the answer is no, the double 'anti' is not a typo. The stuff that they type there is very engaging and often disturbing, and will force you to think more about abortion issues. Also they will often slam and profile Christian fundamentalists, particularly the ones that appear before abortion clinics prostesting. For this reason, the Maggot Punks also provide escort service for anyone wanting to visit the clinics.

Now that I've introduced them, I'll get to the main point for which I started this thread. Thinking about abortion, you'd have to wonder about all the argument that surrounds the issue. Is it or is it not moral to abort a baby? If I were to argue on this, this blog will go on and on and on. Personally, I think its wrong, but for another reason on top of the fact that I think its murder.

The introduction of the contraceptives back in the days of Flower Power heralded the day that we can finally grab the reigns of control of another part of our bodily functions. Now, coupled with its ally, the condom, people could have free reign of who and when they can copulate with, without undesireble consequences. We now have the power of CHOICE.

Now, the key words are 'CHOICE' and 'WITHOUT UNDESIRABLE CONSEQUENCES'. When you hear about teenage pregnancies, and fathers of those pregnancies in the news, the most common excuses that I've heard are, "I'm not ready to have a child." "I didn't want to get pregnant." And then they cry and whine that they want to get an abortion. I'm sorry if I'm being offensive here, but what did they think sex was for? Its like using sticks of dynamite to play the drums. You're inevitably going to get pregnant if you keep at it, as much as the sticks of dynamite going bang. The excuses are nothing more than an attempt to shirk of any claim to responsibility to their actions and CHOICES that led up to those very actions.

The availability to have an abortion is providing a way for people to deny their responsibility for their decision to engage in pre-marital sex, and shrug off the responsibility for having to care for a dependent, also known as an child. Humans are notorious for looking for ways to avoid responsibility for their actions because they cannot face the reality of CONSEQUENCE.

Feel free to leave offensive posts now...
