In the interest of fairness, Wesley Clark, I’d like to point out that your prescribed cure is overkill. You said,
One need not have sex only for procreation in order to avoid having abortions. One could just as well have sex without specifically intending to have children, while simultaneously being willing to accept the responsibilities of parenthood – or placing the child up for adoption, if necessary. I think it’s pretty clear that the prescribed cure stacks the deck against itself needlessly.
In contrast, it is NOT overkill to say that fat loss will require discipline, exercise, and caloric control. Is this ‘cure’ difficult? For many, it is… but that doesn’t make it overkill, nor does it make it unreasonable.
