CHOOSING SLOTH
Just some thoughts on abortion and the words that have come to dominate the discussion:
"Choice". It's a word that has become the semantic lynchpin of the abortion movement. It's because the word ''choice" segues so seamlessly to the word "right". The "right" to choose.
So, if there's a right to choose, does the right somehow free someone from the repercussions of the choice?
Is it a "right" to choose to take someone else's property? Is it a "right" to make any choice that harms someone else? Don't one's choices make them who they are? If the latter is true, then, a little introspection on the part of females who want to have the "right to choose" would be in order.
So let's examine the choices involved in having arrived at the point where a woman would want to choose to abort a fetus during say, the second trimester of her pregnancy.
A woman will have had to have made several choices already, to get to this particular time of choosing.
She will have had to have chosen first to have sex outside of marriage.
She will have to have made the choice to have unprotected sex.
A choice will have been made to have unprotected sex with a man with whom she has no intention of having a child.
In order to arrive at the point where she may exercise her "right" to choose to abort this child in the second trimester, she will have had to have chosen not to use a morning after pill. A reasonable precaution is thus rejected.
By procrastinating and eschewing preventive precautions, this woman will have displayed she cares not about the probability that a fetus that has grown in the womb for a period of months may feel pain. Certainly more pain than a lesser-formed zygote. That is a choice too.
She will have chosen either to make the father aware (if she knows who he is), or not.
These are all choices.
How do these choices shape this person? I'm speaking of her psyche. Her will power. Her sense of self. Will she choose poorly in other areas of her life, because the "right to choose" to abort relieves her of any repercussions as a result of all her choices to that point?
Isn't this a formula for this person to become slovenly? Isn't this just laziness? Can women really avoid the shame? We have evidence now that some of these women are haunted the rest of their lives.
Is the "right to choose" really worth the inevitable diminution in character that is engendered here?
What havoc feminism has wrought.
Women who value their chastity are sexier, too.
