Lobby for real sex education classes -- ones based on medical facts and no religion involved -- starting in Middle School, and start passing out free condoms at High Schools.

    Until you do that, you're doing relegating all those unborn fetuses to lesser importance in your world.

    It's all about stipulating what you should do, and not the fundamental truth that these conceptions are overwhelmingly occurring within the context of human sin.
    I'm old enough to remember when arguments were (purportedly) dispassionate affairs involving balanced consideration of a q
  • Good point. Gonna need a few more thousand videos if you want to refute that claim.
  • There's many more issues at play here.
