| I'm not "spewing pro-life sentimentality". I realize Abortion helps with one problem, but that it also causes many, many more. For decades women have taken the brunt, if not all, of the negative stigma attached to out of wedlock pregnancies, and had their lives altered completely as they struggled to raise children alone. Men, on the other hand, have often gotten off scott free, not living up to their parenting responsibilities, while being patted on the back for yet another conquest. That's wrong, completely unfair, and a shameful mark on our society. Both parties involved are equally responsible, & should be treated the same. As they say, it takes two to tango, and we shouldn't shame one party while patting the other on the back. Nor should one party be saddled with all the responsibility, while the other goes on his merry way. Nancy, the rape issue is a hard one. I have heard compelling arguments on both sides. It's still hard for me to come down on the side of taking an innocent life. |
