Jim: Think for a moment how many unwanted pregnancies would be eliminated in a moment if everyone kept calm until the connubials...and then when you look at the problem of sexually transmitted diseases.
Nancy: So this assumes that all married couples want babies when ever they copulate? Jim: No. I said "think for a moment how many unwanted pregnancies would be eliminated..." In other words, how much of the problem would be diminished. I don't see how you got anything else from what I said. Nancy: All pregancies in marriage are wanted? Jim: Never said that either. Again, my words were emphasizing the reduction in a problem, not the elimination of it. Nancy: Think of how many unwanted pregnancies, STDs and abortions would not take place if religious conservatives would stop blocking access to contraception, sex education and other services for teens and adults. Jim: Different topic, and I don't necessarily disagree with you. Nancy: Most people have sex before they marry. Jim: Yes, they DO But SHOULD THEY? Are you one of those people who throws her hands up in the air and says they're going to get laid anyway, just make sure they use protection? Reminds me of parents who let their kids have kegger parties in the house since of course they're going to do it anyway. Nancy: I actually think we should give up on that too. We allow people to abuse themselves with cigarettes and alcohol - ridiculuous. If a person wants to do all manner of drug, and does not get behind the wheel of a car, or tractor, or airplane, it's none of my business, none of the government's, etc. Jim: I'm sorry, I happen to think the welfare of someone else IS my business. --- To make changes to your subscription go to: http://acsun.frostburg.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=tips&text_mode=0&lang=english
