> I don’t understand it, but I’ll take your word for it. There just seems to be a lot of physical contact and fluids, but anyway. I guess my next question is, did the fact that abortion’s legal contribute to your decision to have sex? If, hypothetically, you knew that abortion wasn’t available, and if you were to get pregnant you’d have to carry the pregnancy to term, would that have influenced your decision to have vaginal sex, or (for those people who’ve answered who had unprotected sex) unprotected vaginal sex? **Because I’m assuming that, when you had vaginal sex, you knew that pregnancy was a possibility, right? You weren’t ignorant of the babymaking process. Did any of that, or the possibility you might get pregnant, enter into your decision making process at all?**

Bolding mine. **CA** , I note that in another thread, you make your feelings on abortion known:

> So am I the only one who thinks, that in the Violinist argument, I do have a moral duty to stay hooked up to the violinist? Don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t be happy that this happened to me. I wouldn’t want it to happen, and I wouldn’t volunteer to hook myself up to the violinist. I can’t even guarantee I would stay hooked up to the violinist. **But it seems to me that if I am hooked up to the violinist, I have a kind of moral obligation to stay hooked up, if I know unhooking myself will kill him.**

Bolding mine. Apologies if I’m misreading you, but your posts in this thread struck me as a rather disingenuous attempt to get people to state outright that they knew pregnancy is a possibility with vaginal intercourse, yet had sex anyway. Given your expressed opinion that abortion is murder, I wonder if you’re not trying to subtly force an anti-abortion argument here, slowly drawing it out with naive questions.

Again, I am sorry if I am misunderstanding you, and apologies for hijacking the thread.
