How do we really stop abortion anyway? No solution is simple. do you:
a) ask men to be responsible for a child they do not want?
- e.g. if you don't have the decency to stick around, don't have sex with the girl. If you get her pregnant, don't tell her, "Whatever you decide, I will support your decision." Oh, grow up. Be a man! It took two to make the thing. It will take two to figure it out. Don't abandon her. Don't leave her to make the decision on her own. You stay and you finish what you started.
I have good reason to think that if we as men were loyal to the women we chase, if we were virtuous, caring, loyal men, abortions would be virtually non-existent. Most women getting abortions -- 83% -- are single, unmarried women. Eighty-three percent!! Guys, fellas... These women can't do it on their own. You had the easy job, you understand? You got her knocked up, so you help her out. And I don't mean paying for her abortion or giving her child support if she decides not to. You sit down, you talk it out, you be loyal, and you stick with her. If you aren't willing to do that, then you don't sleep with her.
b) give the woman a pep talk?
Ladies, you make him work for your love. Make it tough on the guys. Really tough. You make him open doors, pull chairs out, compliment you in a proper way, go out of his way for you, buy you gifts, do nice things for you. If he's not going the extra mile, then he's not worthy of you. Don't give him access. Sex first doesn't mean love later. Know his intentions. If he's not going to stick around, what he is going to stick you with is a decision to make on your own. Is a few minutes of pleasure really worth the months of trouble this is going to cause you? Or the lifetime of scars it may inflict?
c) Give the guy a final pep talk?
Guys, you are every bit as responsible for this, if not more responsible. It is your job to love her, cherish her, to be the head of the household, to provide for your family. So you do it. If you don't want to do it, you quit sleeping around. Are we clear? Don't take more than you're willing to give. You take a piece of every woman you sleep with. Stop. Destroying. Lives.
d) send Monty Python to sing his song 'every sperm is sacred' to these vociferous life givers?
Every sperm is wanted,
Every sperm is good,
Every sperm is needed,
In your neighborhood.
Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great,
If a sperm is wasted,God gets quite irate.
Let the heathen spill theirs,
On the dusty ground,
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.
Hindu, Taoist, Morman,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.
I am glad we had this talk....
