That’s tough, but the good news is that you don’t have to wait to enjoy all the benefits of celibacy.
Marriage is just about the only acceptable form of celibacy.
Wow, where is the upvote on this forum?
To the OP: Roe v. Wade is overturned and you want to know what it will look like? It will look like a huge generation of Democrats being born.
Well, that EscAlaMiked quickly.
What exactly is this alleged “hell” from the sexual revolution? Premarital sex? Gay rights? More non-monogamous consensual relationships? Declining membership in celibate religious orders? Not seeing what we’re supposed to be all worried about as a result of the sexual revolution.
Widespread hanky panky and an outbreak of shenanigans.
No way. Persons are understood as born persons. The alternative view is pushed by religious activists, whose goals are frustrated by the 1st Amendment separation of Church and State. The not-so-implied secularism of the government defined by the Constitution suggests the Founders implied privacy but not fetal right to life.
Nonetheless the Right may find a way, in which case when a priest molests your 14-year old, she will have to carry the resulting child to term, exactly the way God has always intended. At least in the, well, not slave states, not the red States exactly, but in a mishmash of places.
Any state that requires a 14 year old rape victim to carry a fetus to term is, at least in my mind, a slave state.
Maybe the 13th amendment would make a better argument than the right to privacy.
…whether you can afford it or not. (the last bit, I mean)
And I expect that, as there were in Spain when abortions were completely illegal, there will be doctors and midwives providing “procedures”. It’s not an abortion, it’s a “procedure”. But you’ll need to know which doctors and midwives, and you’ll need to know either how to ask for it (if you want one) or how to make it clear that you don’t want one (if that’s the case). Those doctors and their personnel will be facing prison, but it will happen.
There would probably be a black market in abortifacients.
Source?
All abortions are dangerous to the child.
You think women aren’t slaves now?
When the majority of children grow up in a home that does not consist of biological father and mother, when pornography is ubiquitous, when sex is completely separated from procreation, when society defines “love” as “sodomy”, when the vast majority of society has no clue what marriage is, etc. etc. etc. then there will be repercussions. It’s just an inevitable fact.
I can’t predict what that will look like, but I think we’ve been getting previews of it. Eg. rape culture and an entitlement attitude toward sex, prevalence of depression and other MH disorders, prevalence of divorce, etc.
Celibacy…you keep using that word, I don’t think it means what you think it means.
Agreed. Making women carry a fetus to term against their will reduces them to chattel. After the Supremes overturn Roe vs. Wade, the anti-choicers are going to have to repeal 13A. Good luck with that.
Let me ask my employer, the successful female attorney, about that, and get back to you. :dubious:
No, he’s using the word correctly. You, OTOH, are getting your hair parted from the whoosh.
Please humor me. The joke only works if our options as humans are either “complete sexual liberty” or “complete celibacy”. Since there are an infinite amount of options in between those two extremes, my only logical conclusion is that Vinyl Turnip and elucidator don’t know what “celibacy” means.
Mockery or indifference would be more rational approaches to you.
Why?
Cite?
Uppity wimmins refusing to be subservient to their impregnator lords and masters.
“Complete sexual liberty” includes celibacy as an option, dumbass.
Do I come off as some kind of patriarchal misogynist? Because that is ridiculous and I don’t take those suggestions seriously. The sexual revolution did not empower or liberate women, it continued to degrade and enslave them, but in different ways, and I would argue, more severely.
