Don't want to get pregnant, use protection and keep your legs closed.
I would really like to see our society if all women did refuse to have sex unless they wanted to get pregnant.
Can you imagine the gnashing of teeth from the male population. Maybe half the male population would have sex 1-3 times in their life.

Yep. And you can bet women would get blamed for the increased fighting and violence due to all that built up testosterone.

I think those that promote celibacy must have firsthand experience with it. Most normal people with healthy sex lives know it’s not an option.

Agreed. It’s not an option for most men or women, but how many posters are constantly saying women should just keep their legs shut? Because in their world view, it’s all up to women since men can’t be expected to pass on sex or put on a condom or take any responsibility for their own reproduction. And if she gets pregnant, it’s all her fault. The guy was just being a guy and we can’t possibly expect more of him.

People who choose celibacy choose it for many reasons. They may be doing it for spiritual reasons. Some are waiting until marriage. Some have been abused in the past and choose to abstain. Some just want to work on themselves first before getting into a relationship. Some are asexual. There can be all kinds of normal reasons not to have sex. They are just as normal as anyone else.

Good news celibacy is increasing for 20 something men, 28% in 2018.
Still most adults enjoy a healthy sex life.

So men should be sterilized to prevent unwanted pregnancies (because we know they won't stop having sex). That would completely fix the abortion problem as there would be no need for them. If they change their minds, they can reverse their vasectomies. I'm good with that.

But I'm sure the pro-forced-birthers feel that is too invasive to men.

Are you claiming Alabama HB 314 doesn’t disallow abortion in cases of rape or incest? Do you think abortion should be legal for a 12 year old raped by a family member or stranger or do you stand with Alabama??
I'm asking you to point to a LAW that forces women to get pregnant, stay pregnant, and give birth.

Since you are basically claiming that is what is happening in the US. Let me know the bill number and who sponsored it.

And there's the issue right? Women want sex.

They just don't want to be accountable for their own actions.
They don't want to use BC.
They don't want to use it correctly.
They don't want to use more than 1 type of BC to ensure pregnancy does not happen.
They don't want to have sex with men who actually respect them and would WELCOME a child.

Yet they complain about it all day long on CD how men are irresponsible.

Riiiiiiiight.

Two to tango. Women need to be the fierce, independent strong people that those on CD say they are. No excuses, grow up and be responsible.

And for those keyboard bangers who hate men: Men need to be responsible, too. Those who don't want kids should ALWAYS wear a condom. No excuses.

Actually I'd amend that statement. Men who want kids but are with women who would run to get an abortion if they got pregnant should also wear a condom.

Because if she gets pregnant, it doesn't matter if the father would take full custody and full financial responsibly. The mother still gets to kill the baby. And it happens. The fathers are heartbroken.
