Let's suggest this, ILA:
You and your female loved one marry. You have sex. She gets pregnant. Three weeks later, you have a massive brain hemorrhage and need 24X7 care; she has to go to work - maybe a couple jobs - to support you.
Having a child would be a huge burden; she can't take care of it and you and work to support you.
What should she do? What if this happens after you already have four kids?
As usual, you are ignoring rape; changed circumstances; failed birth control; etc etc etc
You seem to be implying a woman should assume she is going to get pregnant every time she has intercourse and thus should only have sex when she wants kids. Your poor female loved one.
I know that you think that you have created a big GOTCHA, but I will be more than happy to play along with your "WHAT IF?" scenarios.
a) That is why I have disability insurance to cover the costs.
b) We could move in with family. That is what family is for. I know what if they have NO FAMILY whatsoever. They could reach out to their church or friends for help. I know, what if they just moved to Alaska and have no church or any friends whatsoever
I am saddened that somewhere in your life you have been taught that having a child is a huge burden. Having a child is a beautiful thing.
I am saddened that your immediate solution to one tragedy is to murder a baby because it might be hard or inconvenient. I am saddened that you place so much more emphasis on life being easy for you that you would look for the easy way out. Life is hard. That is just the way it is. I don't believe murdering a baby will make it any less hard.
I am not ignoring rape. I think rape is a horrific action that any man can perpetrate on a woman and deserves immediate death sentence. However, I don't see how committing a murder makes the rape go away. Is it easy? No. I don't pretend that it is. But, I don't believe that one injustice deserves another.

Well, since pregnancy can occur while having sex yes a woman should assume she is going to get pregnant every time she has intercourse. I am not saying that she should only have sex when she wants kids. I am saying that maybe, just maybe, people shouldn't be so cavalier about having sex. As you have just pointed out in your little made up scenarios there are real world consequences to having sex that outlive the ten second orgasm that one experiences.
Abortion supporters speak of "family planning", but the minute someone says "Hey, how about PLANNING on having a family before engaging in promiscuous behavior" we are immediately labeled a prude.
You seem to want women to be able to have all the fun in the world with their bodies, yet suffer no consequences. Well, I find that to be almost child like. There are consequences and as I pointed out life changing ones that extend past pregnancy. There are STDs, self esteem issues, sexual abuse etc.
You want it both ways. You say you want control over your body when it comes to killing an unborn baby that is now inconvenient for you, but when it comes to the actions that lead to that inconvenient baby, well then you have no control. Sorry. I don't buy it.
