Pro-abortionists are going on a sex strike

[VoidCat]

The law is pragmatic and is based upon natural law. The law does not perceive sex as a dirty thing, but a natural normal thing.

I actually don't know the laws here in my country for divorce.

Naw the toys will suffice fir the interim...

For those not into fantasy barbie dolls, there's always VR porn!

Well the barbie dolls might have to become more sophisticated since the rest of the world might not be on the same page as to what constitutes beauty as much as what is projected by the USA all too often. Plastic fantastic is often so not appealing.

Melania Knavs Trump has said she had "a great time" with Donald Trump.

All this fun...and just one child?
It is obvious that contraceptives do work.

A quick look at statistics proves your error. In the US, there are roughly 40 million women of child-bearing age (18 - 38) (I know it’s more, but I’m being nice). Out of them, let’s say 30 million are having sex at least fairly regularly. Assuming every single one of them was well educated and well financed (most are not), such that they chose for themselves the best form of birth control commonly used, the pill. (Pffft! As if!)
Now, a couple, having regular sex, and using the pill, still have a roughly 2% chance of conceiving a child in one year’s time. (Again, that is a rosy estimate. In applied use, it actually tends to be over 8% ). That dear @Estro Felino amounts to 600,000 unexpected pregnancies in the US, every single year. Some of these, being the result of young people in love (or at least in lust) with each other, will be kept, birthed, and raised to varying degrees of success. Mazel tov!!
That leaves a LOT of unwanted pregnancies in just our one little country. This year. Next year we get the same number again, And the next year. And the next year. And the next…..and the next…..and the next year.

reference - How effective is contraception at preventing pregnancy?

Please don't use the Phrase "Pro-abortion".

No one is pro-abortion, people just want the choice and that means abortion must not be excluded as an option.

I think "choice" is both for the pro-lifer as well as the pro-abortionist. The later two simply delineates what "choice" they lean towards.

I guess Italian women would immensely envy American women, if they knew that. It means that American males are much more sexually active.
Because recent surveys show that here most women have sex once a week.

By the way take a look at this
Italy’s birthrate is falling. Can the storks help?


What is the reason, in your opinion?
A) Italians do not have sex (or have sex rarely)
B) Most Italian women use contraceptives such as birth control
C) Italian males are not that fertile.

Choose a b or c

I think this might be a tough time for American males .

A sex strike? Is that like an ordinary strike where it's a dispute between management and labor? In this case, would the women be "management" and the men "labor," or is it the other way around? Which side will crack first?

 

[Estro Felino]

Not women

No one is pro-abortion....

I am.

Why?
I see many pro-choice people say they oppose abortion,
but believe that it's the mother's choice. I do not oppose it.
Don't lump me in with them.
I favor abortion, ie, if anyone wants it, then it's good for them.
It's also benefits an over-populated crime ridden planet.

Edit...
Was I clear that I think abortion is a good thing...when
the mother is the one making the choice, of course.

I think it's better not to go there...

I'm not as circumspect as art thou.

Because I will need to bring up which continents determined the rise from 2 billion people to 7 billion people.
Surely not the US.

Again, I've no problem addressing over-population & its effects.

 

[Sand Dancer]

I agree too. I think, at one time, most people actually waited until one was married to have sex. Rather than "sex" it was "intimacy birthed out of love" taking on the responsibilities thereof.

That's because puberty and marriage were within a few years of each other.

There is contraception.
Abortion is just the last resort.
Prevention is better than the cure.

Tis not an either/or situation.
Both prevention & "cure" are useful.

I don't think so but it was less of a newsworthy thing.

It seems more symbolic than anything else, though. I imagine a lot of people will "cross the picket line" for a quickie, and no one else will be the wiser.

 

[ChristineM]

And many of them perceive themselves entitled to their husband's body.

The "entitled" attitude is where it all falls over

When was that time, @KenS? I think you may find that rather fewer people actually waited than you imagine -- throughout human history. These days, in the U.S., that number is around 3%. Not very significant, really.

And throughout history, I think you'll find that most men have never waited until marriage. Which brings up the question: if most women were, who were the unmarried men doing it with?

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

I don't know. But I have heard of some women having like 15-20 sex partners in one year, before. So maybe it's with a select few women.

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Women are free not to have sex.
It is weird that they see abstinence as the only alternative. When contraceptives are countless

Read the old Greek play, Lysistrata, by Aristophanes. It's quite funny in places -- especially the oath by the women about not having sex until they get their way (stopping the Peloponnesian war), including the mention of one sexual position, "the lioness on the cheese-grater."

The laws on divorce in the UK have recently changed. All divorces are now no fault. And based on breakdown of the marriage. If one partner does not want the divorce the other can still continue with it.
It is now simpler and less costly.

The procedures for agreeing financial arrangement and children are still the same, what people do not always understand that those things are separate to the divorce, and are separate legal matters.

This is what my grand daughter was asked to write for her company of solicitors.

And that irresponsible attitude leads to very high divorce rates.
