Why is abortion a bigger issue than premarital sex?

Question

(i mean, mainly in presidential elections)

why treat only the symptoms of the real problem: sex all over tv and advertising? (ok, so money would be my guess) once the baby is made, how is your life then up to the public?

im not really one way or the other:
1)girls have to live with the fact they got an abortion, so they obviously justified it to themselves, and they will have to deal with their choices, which is all that matters.
2)it's not like theres a shortage of babies.


so, really, why add this pointless debate in an already pointless wealth-driven debate?

(that's great if you've formed a strong opinion on abortion, pro life or choice, but plz keep it to yourself, b/c no one cares, i promise)

Answer 1

You are wrong, someone does care, lots of people for that fact. We are tired of the girls and women who have pre-marital sex that do have babies, get on welfare, and cause the taxpayers unending burdens of paying high taxes to not only take care of their families, but a women and children they were not responsible for making. I am sick of it. I can barely make ends meet because I am single and paying almost $5000 a year in federal taxes. And the worst thing about it, it was reported Thursday that there is a 19% increase of teen pregnancies. It all needs to stop. Abortion is not a way to prevent pregnancies. I cannot believe the things I read on this site that teenagers ask that are having sex and wondering if they got pregnant.

Answer 2

My theory is that it allows the candidates to push several buttons simultaneously. They get to push the religion button, the children button and the rights button all in one topic. It is also a very divisive issue. It will firmly align the candidate with one group of people. Often how premarital sex is viewed within that group is not a commonality. Also, the idea that only unwed women are having abortions is purely false. Married women are also utelizing the procedures, so eliminating premarital sex (which I think we all know is impossible) would not eliminate the abortion issue. There are several "Hot Button" issues that are guaranteed to get a crowd growing and abortion is one of them. Rarely do people really stop and think about all the different facets of the issue, they simply go with a yes/no answer. Many a rabid "Pro-Life" person has- when not in the empassioned atmosphere of a political rally- said that there are cases they could see where it should be legal. Most commonly incest or the mother would die or the child was grossly malformed and would have little or no chance of survival. On the other hand, just as many vehement "Pro- Coice" people have said that there should be limits. That there should be better access to birth control and a point during gestation where the procedure was no longer offered or available. However, being moderate and finding common ground doesn't give candidates the one thing that really wins elections, and that's that feeling that the group you are with is really making a difference and making your views heard. If you look around though, I'm hearing much more about the enviornment, education, economy, poverty, helathcare, social security and (of course) the situation in Iraq than I am about abortion this election.

Answer 3

The US Supreme Court has not attempted to IMPOSE its views about premarital sex on the entire country be 'discovering' a new 'right' in the Constitution. Abortion is an issue where the Federal government overturned STATE laws with no clear constitutional authority. Abortion in and of itself has NEVER been the legal issue.

NOTE: your question contains a LIE. You state "im not really one way or the other:" Then you immediately state you position quite clearly. I won't argue the position, but you most certainly DO have one.

Answer 4

The abortion is the evidence of pre marital sex. Imagining that people involved in presidential elections are influenced by their religion, probally christian, both pre marital sex and abortion are shameful behaviour. And abortion is also considered as the taking of a life. Their religion influences them to make a big thing out of it. It also distracts the public from other issues, such as the economy, healthcare and so on because it is something people feel so strongly about. It seems that it can polarise the population and Im sure that politicians know in advance the numbers that are for or against and are prepared to use it to their advantage to ensure a certain number of votes.

Answer 5

We need to have a different approach to the abortion issue. No one LIKES abortions, so clearly we need to take steps where fewer of them are necessary. A part of that can be encouraging kids to wait until they're really ready to have sex (asking them to wait until marriage is probably a bit much). But at the same time, we need to make things like birth control and day care more available and affordable if we're really serious about stopping abortions. Banning them outright would be imposing the government's will into a woman's life when she's at her most desperate and vulnerable.

Answer 6

An authoritative answer to those questions can come purely from our author—Jehovah God. And in his be conscious he tells us to “flee from fornication.” (a million Corinthians 6:18) in basic terms what does that recommend? The Greek be conscious translated “fornication” isn't limited to sexual intercourse yet includes one in each of those lewd acts. So if 2 single human beings work together in oral intercourse or in fondling each and each others’ reproductive organs, they are accountable of fornication. Even in Bible cases, some engaged in premarital intercourse. An immoral woman could invite a youthful guy to indulge, asserting: “Do come, enable us to drink our fill of affection till the morning; do enable us to relish one yet another with love expressions.” (Proverbs 7:18) The Bible, even nevertheless, warned that pleasures enjoyed immediately would reason discomfort day after today. “For as a honeycomb the lips of a unusual woman save dripping, and her palate is smoother than oil,” suggested Solomon. “yet,” he persevered, “the aftereffect from her is as bitter as wormwood; it fairly is as sharp as a 2-edged sword.”—Proverbs 5:3, 4. so even returned then it became nonetheless the comparable component besides the shown fact which you're stunning approximately them no longer having the potential to renounce thought premarital intercourse has extra to do with the MORALS

it's cool to kill

just turn the baby around and so it's nice and legal... then jam a knife in it's brain. Stupid legal technicalities...

***Planned parenthood won't offer the "fetus" anesthetics, even though it's been proven that the baby feels pain.

Answer 8

Because it is easier to rally people to abortion because the religious people see it as a sin against god... and premarital sex, has been dealt with by teaching abstinence.

Both of which are a crock.

Answer 9

Because abortion as we all know is a far more touchy subject.It gets peoples blood boiling and in the end that's what they want.
