I don't engage in sexual activity if I don't expect to get someone pregnant to do otherwise would be nothing short of folly. I feel I answered that with the "I don't have sex with anybody I don't"....

So we should have unrestricted laws on abortion because of the hordes of 10 year olds getting pregnant. That makes so much sense.

Point taken.... I can see probably 30 domino's down or so where we can look back and see we should have set the domino's up differently. Although they will still fall as they are setup no matter what...

Family was important when we stayed in tribes and stuck together but it seems like with the more creature comforts we get the less we feel our heritage is important.

When creating laws, we should based them on the majority of cases and have stipulations to cover the extreme cases. Abortion should be outlawed except for the rare cases of rape ande the endangerment of the mother's health.

That's not an answer to the question. Expectation is not the same as intent. I'll ask again,

Do you only have sexual intercourse when you want to procreate?

Of course not, to you.

When your 10 year old or a 10 year old you love is put in that position, I'll listen to what you have to say. Until then, your input is without merit, credibiltiy or deserving of any futher response, from me, to your posts.

Just one, getting a straight answer from someone who has no problem dictating what someone else's sexual activity should be but obviously does not follow the same dicatations in his own life.

Keep on dancing around that pole. As long as Pro-lifers continue dancing around the facts of the issue, abortion will always be a choice, a legal choice. Thanks.

There is only one group skirting around one thing and that's responsibility.

I cannot speak for Big John but I'll try to answer your question. Most pro-lifers do not reserve having sex only when they specifically wish to procreate. However, since procreation is a possibility, we accept that risk and deal with the consequences of an unintended pregnancy should that occur. Many pro-choicers want the easy way out and are not willing to accept responsibility for their sexual behavior. Killing is NOT justified as an after-the-fact birth control method but should be reserved for rape cases and when the mother's health is at stake.
