Here’s a comment I recently read online:
“let me assure you, at some point your contraception WILL
FAIL. So the choice is to not have sex at all, which I cannot imagine anyone
would recommend as a viable option or even an ideal for which to strive, or to
deal with unplanned pregnancy.”
Consider the following four statements:
1. Women ought to have the right to not have children, for
example, to continue their career or education.
2. Two consenting adults can never be counselled to refrain
from sexual behaviour.
3. Contraception often fails.
4. Therefore, abortion should be made available.
I suspect that some of the rhetoric from the pro-choice side
stems from the intuition that the pro-life position involves the rejection of
either 1. or 2. And, of course, no rational person could ever seriously even
think about denying 2, right? Thus, the REAL motivation for the primitive
woman-hating pro-lifers must be their denial of 1.
