      How does this make unwanted pregnancy go away without abortion? Is it possible to not be a slave to one's own sexual drive but still have a sex life? Does knowing that sex can cause pregnancy even if you're very careful then mean you must just let consequences happen to you?https://twitter.com/B16pal/status/958125918727360513 …

      By being master of one's passions and using reason over emotion: 1) not a slave to one's own sexual drive 2) understanding the natural end to the sexual act at any time is procreation 3) knowing that abortion won't make the memory of rape go away, but will only pass oppression on

      We all have to accept consequences of every action. That's not really the question right? I mean the question is whether the embryo is human or property. Whether it's "the woman's" body or a unique individual with a right to life. It's not a simple question to answer.

      I think it is. I was once pro-life and still am for myself but it;s not reasonable. Need to go with the science and reason for laws. http://helenpluckroseblogs.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/my-position-on-abortion.html …

      How is it "not reasonable"? I mean I'm not argue either extreme (no abortion/ right to life at conception on the one side and abortion at anytime any reason on the other). Your quoted position I think is more than reasonable for viable fetuses.

      Replying to @BrettMoan

      Well, I posted my view. If you think a different view is reasonable, you'd need to argue that and then I could say why it was not reasonable or change my mind.

      Maybe I misunderstood, do you still hold your 2015 position you linked to, or do you now find that position unreasonable? Cause if it's the latter I'm curious as to what you find about your 2015 position to be unreasonable.
