Moral Absolutes Ping.
The companion piece to the one I just pinged out.
MY needs, MY wants, MY desires! That's all that's important. ME ME ME! I deserve - I want - I must have. IOW, "I am God". Our position is that we don't always get what we "want" but hey - the funny thing is that sometimes what we "want" and what we need are two different things.
The concept of ownership over human beings is atrocious. People condemn slavery, and a lot of artificial conception is just that. With life and death control over the slaves. I mean "children".
Freepmail wagglebee and/or little jeremiah if you want on/off this pinglist.
Short story: A former co-worker had 3 children. The oldest when she was 16. Until she got married at 29 she used artifical contraception. After she got married she couldn't get pregnant. After a time, her second child was conceived with the help of chemicals.
When she decided to have her next child she had to have IVF. At the time her doctor told her she still might not be able to conceive even with IVF as there were several issues working against each other. She was determined to have another child AT ANY COST.
So when her third child was a year old she was on the pill to regulate her cycle because her doctor told her she wouldn't be having anymore kids anyway, with or without IVF or other chemicals. She is pregnant and due in a few weeks. When she told me about baby number 4 she said that she realized that God gave her her fertility back. After this baby is born she's having her tubes tied. Hmmmm.
