Yes. Sex isn't consent to parenthood.

@BlueVeins if you have sex, knowing you can get pregnant/get the woman pregnant...you are consenting to the possibility that a pregnancy may result from having said sex. You may not have planned on it, but you did consent to initiating the pregnancy.

@SamInAZ True, but parenthood doesn't have to result from pregnancy. We have the technology to end it elsewise. 🪛

@BlueVeins Yes & I believe it is morally wrong. Legal doesn't mean moral. They're not synonyms.

@SamInAZ Rights don't really make sense for something that has no conscious mind.

@BlueVeins So you had no right to exist other than with your mother's permission is what you're saying?

@SamInAZ Her "permission"? It's not like I was asking for it lol. I was incapable of cognition.

@BlueVeins But that's basically what you're saying with your view on abortion. You're free to look at it that way, it's pretty shallow & a very dark view of humanity, but you're free to hold those views.
@SamInAZ Women have "the right to pursue, life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness" and the medical control of their own bodies without being judged 'immoral in society' by you or any others.

@SamInAZ Since pregnancy is a continuous process, consent must also be continuous. Anything else is rapist philosophy. You sound like the guy who says he can force himself onto a woman because she let him buy her dinner and came up to his room afterwards.

Think of it like hiring someone and they turn out to be a bad employee. The fact that you hired them doesn't obligate you to keep paying them. By the same token, a woman who has sex isn't obligated to give birth.

Just curious, how would you enforce this? Test women monthly for pregnancy, and if the test is positive, lock them up under 24 hour watch to make sure they give birth?
