A lot to respond to and I'm burning time better spent on other things, so I'll just say that it's a fair point that there is a demand for newborns to adopt.  But we're not talking about a baby that is either killed or adopted.  We're talking about an early-stage fetus.  I'm not into forcing a woman to carry an unwanted pregnancy an additional six or seven months to term.

The idea that contraception is a sin is one of the most mind-boggling things I've ever heard from religion.

And "irresponsible and a moron" is why I should know damn well better than to get involved in stupid crap like this.  Well done.

 Now wait, I deal with plenty of offensive crap (not usually from you), and I usually continue the conversation.  I admit I shouldn't have used such words, as it doesn't help my argument.

And I completely agree regarding conception.  My church does not oppose it, but I know others do.  I respect their right to practice their religion as they see fit.  But more most people, I'd rather see them purchasing a box of Trojans than going into an abortion clinic.

But back to my statement about "irresponsible" and "moron", I should have pointed out that it is truly a desire to escape the responsibilities of one's actions in having an abortion.  I find it to be willful ignorance or denial that leads people to believe that sex is primarily about feeding those cravings we all feel.
