Even the non-religious can respect the full potential that conception brings. There are so many types of birth control that decent education and availability of birth control methods should do away with abortion.
Personally, I think it is barbaric.
A nice assumption to make there. A co-worker of my girlfriend took birth control. Her boyfriend used a condom. The condom broke... the birth control didn't work. She gave birth to a boy at age 19... which she had to give up for adoption... devastating her. She also damn near died from complications at delivery stemming from her age and small size.
But hey... it's barbaric to abort early... let's damn near kill her *** and lead her offspring and herself down a long hard road with a shattered life. :rolleyes:
Let me put it this way... there's over 6 billion people in the world.
We'll assume a generous 60% male, 40% female due to places like China. That's 2,400,000,000 women worldwide.
We'll be again very generous and say only 25% of those women are in an age of sexual activity. That is 600,000,000 women.
Now let's once again be generous and assume they are only using the most effective birth control on the market -- 99% effective.
That is
6,000,000 women who will have a completely unwanted and unplanned conception... some being entirely too old or young to handle delivery... some with gross birth defects that threaten the life of mother and child... some being conceived to parents financially incapable of giving the child even a miserable and ****** existance.
But hey.. it's barbaric to not put a huge burden on society... kill mothers... have children born of incest and/or rape... doff off children that are "genetically incapable" of coping with our world.... ruin lives of teenages forever, not to mention their offspring... because dammit it's a few cells that are dividing -- much like your skin or mucus or pus or blood. (DON'T YOU DARE BE BLOWING YOUR NOSE YOU KILLER!).
But hey... let's continue to be
extremely generous in our estimates....
Let's say everybody using birth control is also having a partner use a condom at all times (AHHHHHH HAHAHAHHA yea right).
We'll be once again wildly generous and say that they are using the super thick condoms that give you NO sensation whatsoever.
We'll say they are 99.99% effective.
That's still 6,000 unplanned conceptions... and I'd like to remind you I was WILDLY generous in that number.
