It's like you think that married couples only have sex to make babies or that all married couples are ready and willing to become parents (or become parents to additional children).

I have a thoery that everyone who claims sex is only for reproduction is just being resentful that they can't get any. *nods*

Either that or they're lousy at it and have no idea why anyone would agree to do it if not for reproduction.

Well that brings us to another issue, that one shouldn't be having sex until they are married anyway. Then it is ok to have a kid and no one cares if you get pregnant because a condom broke.


Not all married couples have kids, and I don't see what's so different about having an official peice of paper saying you're going to be in bed with the other person.

Edit: The monogamous aspect would produce less of a risk in regards to exposure towards stds (assuming neither already have one), but I just mean the ethics of the act itself.

Not every one who marries registers with the "state".

How can you be married in a place without the government there not recognizing it?

The same way one evades taxes or doesn't report the birth of their child to the state.

No, they did not.

Abortion should not be decided on lightly but you have an abused kid in foster care telling a judge "I can't do right by this kid" and you're going to force her to have it?

I thought the state was supposed to have her best interests at heart.

Then that's not marriage.

Even if you're common law in a place that recognizes common law marriages, you have o register it to count as married.

It still qualifies as marriage despite nullifying the report of the event to traditional registration authorities.

Execution and abortion aren't analogous, and neither constitute murder. Also, have you seen a fetus rap?

Except they are in fact married albeit in defiance of the legal definition of marriage defined by said state authority.

No it doesn't. At least not in any meaningful sense of the word.

A civil institution under which the legal definition provided by the state authority can often disqualify certain sectors of society from legal attainment of marriage.

Since I'm pro-life, Go Nebraska. But I do realize that the reasons for the denial of the abortion are pretty dumb.

Not really the state authorities deprivation of a woman's right is hardly something to be in approval of.

No, they did not make the right decision at all. I mean come on, she seems to be pretty intelligent and mature already based off of what she has said. It saddens me to think that this girl will be forced into parenthood when she is not ready to do so.
