Let me get this straight: no contraceptives (and general lack of sex education), no abortion, no same-gender marriage, a general rape-apologist attitude, and the Bible backs it all up?

Wouldn't it seem logical that maybe teaching people about safe sex ALONG with abstinence would prevent some of these abortions you hate so much? Not just in the "unwanted" pregnancy situations, but in the rape situations as well. Taking the time to bring awareness about the rape culture we live in (and not staying silent on the issue or even ENCOURAGING it, thereby making more and more rapists think it's okay!) may just have the same effect on the number of abortions in this country.

And contraceptives? Surprise! Contraceptives tend to stop unwanted pregnancies! Imagine that!

And then, when a woman in a life-threatening situation does need an abortion, you deny her one. Even though "traditional" marriage of one man and one woman is *SO* important, and clearly every child that didn't grow up with both is doomed? You're willing to kill off the woman who may already be a mother and destroy that family (and possibly any potential life that may come from that family later)? REALLY?

And, in case you haven't noticed, unlike those ancient people you look to in the Bible for how to live your life, preservation of your race is not in danger. Not only that, but you should be aware that the people the Bible is speaking about required abortions in certain circumstances and valued the mother's life over the fetus' (even in their hard-core patriarchal society where woman were essentially baby-makers). So if you're looking for your justification there in specifics, you're going to be hard pressed to truly find it. As well as your views on "traditional" marriage and its "values." The Bible is filled with first wives, second wives, concubines, slave wives and hardly any nuclear families. We have so many people, so many KIDS that need homes right now... and you won't let LGBTQ people marry because of some taken-out-of-context, often mistranslated verses of the Bible? And even though marriage (to most Biblical peoples) was strictly economic and "secular" and really had nothing to do with religion at all? Many of those LGBTQ couples would be happy to take on your "unwanted" children, and some may have their own too! And on top of that, gays and lesbians have proven to be excellent parents! But no. Wouldn't want them to one-up us in the ability to raise rape-apologist, discriminatory, close-minded children.


Okay, that was a bit of a rant, but it all connects to me and just becomes one giant clusterfuck of an opinion on social issues.
