I have to jump in there;
I humbly remember when my hormones (whore-moans? naw, too cheesy of a joke, it will only distract from my beautifully arranged argument) kicked in as a young teenager. It was scary. If you told me that there was a girl that wanted to have sex with me, I would have climbed Everest, cured Cancer and knocked out Muhammed Ali to get it.
Hey! Ben!! You might get that girl pregnant! You better think twice!
Are you kidding me? I'll be having sex, right? Sex
WITH A GIRL, right? I will do anything. Anything. If you think that normal teenage males don't think like this, then I guess that's it for the discussion.
Well, the fact that girls did not want to have sex with me (I didn't understand why) caused me to be in the enviable position of not having to make the moral decision on the abortion issue. Academically speaking, I probably would have kept the kid and tried my best. I saw a couple buddies do it, and they seemed to really love their kids.
Still, philosophically speaking, I am torn on the issue. I don't know what I would do. What I am certain of is my firm belief of staying out of the way when someone else has a moral decision to make. I don't judge. I think that they should stay legal (back-alley clinics are disgusting and equally immoral) and be very hard to get.
Young men should be held responsible for their actions, but not their thought process. It is a pretty clear, although flawed process. Kill it or fuck it.
