Who cares about premarital sex... it is only the business of the individuals. Risk of pregnancy has never been a deterrent; we've already seen what happens.
Education is the key. You won't stop people from having sex but you certainly can educate them on how to be more responsible.
**** shaming.. sheesh.. kinda pathetic that we care so much of what others do in bed and with whom.

The USA has been hijacked by radical right-wing theofascists. Frightening times we are living through.
You start to see how something like the handmaid's tale could really happen in today's America. Scary stuff.

I don't consider it my business when consenting adults want to have sex. I don't think in a free country, it should be any of the Governments business either. Nor any of your business either!
I think many people on here want to end abortion because they want to force their religion and their version of morality onto others.
Why would you have the desire to control other people's actions and bodies like that?
Yet, what is the world's oldest professions?
People aren't going to quit having sex, no matter how much you want them too, and Abortion laws one way or the other are not going to change that.And you can't force someone to be a Mother if they don't want to be.
You are just going to have a lot more unwanted babies and children, born into poverty and misery and need.
You will definitely increase the suffering of those unwanted babies and children.
But, I forget some people care about fetuses but they could care less about actual babies and children.

For all the free sex available since the free love movement we are no better off
Oh, for sure, it's not all honey and roses out there. But then, it NEVER was.
Personally, I much prefer things today. I like my own freedom, I like that most people accept my freedom as no big deal, and I like knowing that most people don't have to live in some closet or other any more.
As a woman, I look at women who indiscriminately sleep with just anybody, simply for the purpose of having fun or for some sort of personal gain, as degrading to womanhood in general. I'm ashamed of them.
And don't get me started on the "MeToo" crap.
Wow, so it's OK for men to do that. I am so tired of women being constantly blamed when men are just as culpable. Yet they are never to blame. I'm ashamed of women blaming women.

I never said "it's okay for men to do that". Obviously it takes two and promiscuous men disgust me as much as promiscuous women, so don't assume anything about what I think.
This is the entire point behind the Christian Right's anti-abortion push. It's not about saving the babies at all. It's about promoting purity culture and **** shaming. I think in the near future, it will become much more difficult to get contraceptives in this country as well.
The fact of the matter is, people will always be having sex. All the foot-stomping in the world by the Christian tyrants isn't going to change that.
Abortion is morally wrong, it's wrong to kill babies. I'm a Christian and that's my anti abortion push.
You liberals can bob and weave and do all the things you do, but in the end, abortion takes a life.

So much truth in the above. Almost too much of it.
