I truly believe many of our population don't understand the nature of decision making. I am aware of the passionate voices for freedom and rights, but their own arguments reveal their lack of understanding.
One example of this occurs in the issue of abortion. How many times have we heard that a woman cannot control her own reproduction without abortions? What are we to understand by this? Apparently a woman is forced into having sex as a regular occurrence, and since she can't find sympathy to prevent this problem, we must allow her to have an abortion, because after all, SHE had no choice in the pregnancy.
Let's look at this from another angle. If women cannot control their own reproduction without abortions, then men must need them too. After all, apparently nobody has any free will until after the conception. That being the case, men need abortion just as much as women to control their reproduction.
Luckily, we can help shed light on this problem with a very revolutionary idea....
You CAN choose what actions to take, but you CAN'T choose the results of those actions. You might rephrase this as the cause and effect principle.
I don't live in the dark ages and therefore overlook that fact that technology exists to "save" us from many horrible things, but what is the price? Again, we think we can make a choice of abortion without any consequence. I disagree.
At the very least, the "Pro-Choice" crowd needs to come up with a better argument for why abortion is so necessary. The current argument convinces us that we MUST act on what we feel. The current argument takes away our choice. The current argument leads to bondage.
