I say it is a stupid female who will allow a male to enter into her without protection. All of us faced the same desires and situations as these women face now. It is noting new. I loved my own wife long before we were married. She was not pregnant when we got married and we were married for five years until we could afford to have a child before she got pregnant. That's family planning.
So you are a strict vegan, right?

I am a fiscal conservative but am moderate socially. I believe in a woman's right to make that decision. She is the one who will have to raise the kid, support it, etc. In most cases of single motherhood, the father's are nowhere in sight. I do, however, feel that birth control should be mandatory for anyone who in the past has had a "mistake" pregnancy. No, it can't be enforced, but in an ideal world, it would.

Adoption is probably not something most women would consider. Yeah, I know..again, in an ideal world it would be, but it is too emotional to give birth to a baby and then hand it over.

Mostly pro-life. I'm okay with the standard exceptions. But I don't think abortion should be used in place of birth control, because these are actual lives with which we are dealing.

Of course. Because I will not initiate force against someone else does not mean I will not use any and all force I deem necessary to repel someone who initiates it against me.

Goes like this - I'll never pick a fight, but if somebody swings at me, I am throwing down until one of us is unconscious.

People think the nonaggression axiom means pacifist, won't defend myself. Yeah...NO. Just means I'll never pick the fight, that's all. Pick the fight with me, and we can have that party, no sweat.

Strict vegans indirectly kill. If they purchase a vegetable, they had a hand in the willful killing of countless insects in the ground whence said vegetable came. Any vegan who doesn't live like a Jainist monk is a hypocrite to some degree.

Has nothing to do with the issue whatsoever. My position was made perfectly clear.

Everyone should be pro-life, in that we all believe that at some point, the fetus is an actual, live, human baby.

Unless you are a monster, then at some point, whether its in the second trimester or during the last month, or during birth, then you will admit that we are talking about a small human being deserving of it's right to life, and not something akin to a clump of cells in a Petri dish.

So it's better to MURDER it than to give it over to some woman who is barren but can afford to raise it?
