And let's at least be honest about the real reason abortions have flourished in our time. Whereas in times past when two consenting, albeit unmarried adults, decided to engage in sexual intercourse;

And whereas one day in the weeks following such intercourse, the girlfriend/lover of the two (no matter how brief their relationship may have been) brings the unfortunate news to her partner --- "I'm pregnant."

So owing to the fact that abortion was as yet illegal in those days prior to Roe v Wade, the couple had to face a pretty inescapable reality. They would have to get married because the alternative was only to cop out on personal integrity entirely and spend their lives looked down on by a society which at the time, were in agreement with certain Scriptural moral behavioral standards which, at the very least meant personal responsibility in the rearing of the child in question. And a society by the way which used law enforcement to force unwilling or unmotivated men to face up to their responsibilities or bear the legal ramifications for not so doing .

Abortion releases the promiscuous among us to cavalier about the duration of their entire lives, while the more responsible pay for that oat sowing. The reason society accepts this unhappy, not to mention ungodly situation is multifaceted to be sure. But of equal surety is the fact that the same government that once oversaw paternal responsibility in matters of US citizens having children, now ensures that no one is held paternally responsible in matters of having children.
