You clearly did not understand the point. It is not about individual choices.
YES, IT IS. That was my whole reference to responsibility, and accepting the responsibility of one's decision making. The problem has nothing to do with churches, or "the poor". And the effort to mitigate responsibility since in your opinion we apparently no longer have any because the "church has accepted birth control", is a complete cop-out.
This has to do with the fundamental relationship between men and women. With the full acceptance of birth control, by those such as yourself and the Protestant churches, the philosophical relationship between men and women changed. Procreation was no longer an important part of having a physical relationship.
Which has very little to do with the tea in China, but goes a long way in the effort to give a pass to immoral and blatantly irresponsible behavior
So you accept birth control, but then turn around and give people some rhetoric about making the economically correct choice? I'm going to guess that you were young and in love once Sirs, would you have listened to such an ivory tower argument?
I'm not sure if we're just having 2 completely different discussions, or what. I'm sticking with the one that's related to those who foolishly, irresponsibly, and/or immorally, bring a child into this world, and expect Government (we tax payers) to foot the bill for those actions, in trying to take care of it themselves, or use abortion as an effort to perform birth control, vs simply applying a little individual responsibility and/or self control
No one's telling anyone they can't do what they want, when they want, or with who they want. Everyone is free to make their own decisions. Just don't expect open arms of compassion, and worse, corercion by way of legal intervention, to support & embrace bad decisions, and their repercussions, such as bringing children into this world, when one is not prepared to do so
This paragraph has nothing to do with anything. The point is this. Supporting birth control and then decrying abortion, is akin to Brigham Young giving a lecture on monogamy.
Not even close. Supporting birth control, but decrying the murdering of an unborn child is akin to watching something on the History channel, while lecturing on the absurdity of watching Jerry Springer
