Proposed Resolution
#3 for the U.S.
Congress and the
Legislatures of the
Several States:
Human Abortion and
Male
Irresponsibility
With regard to
the social causes of
human abortion, we
understand the
following:
-
Women rarely if
ever plan to get
pregnant in order
to have an
abortion, and
rarely do women
regard human
abortion as an
intrinsic good.
Rather, women most
often view
abortion as tragic
and undesirable.
-
Most abortions
occur in
situations where
the woman is not
married to the man
who made her
pregnant; or in
other instances,
where a marriage
suffers stress to
the point where
the husband either
leaves the
marriage, and/or
does not want the
child to be born.
-
In most abortion
choices, some man
is pressuring the
woman to have the
abortion, whether
overtly or subtly.
-
In cases where the
woman is made
pregnant by a
boyfriend, if he
would support her,
especially by
means of faithful
marriage, she
would likely keep
the child.
-
Apart from the
evil of rape or
incest, women who
get pregnant out
of wedlock are
complicitous to
one degree or
another; however,
the man possesses
the power to
forsake her in her
pregnancy.
-
In such instances,
the male
irresponsibility
pressures the
woman a) to
embrace the
courage and
sacrifice of
single motherhood,
usually with
financial duress;
b) to embrace the
courage and
sacrifice of
placing the child
for adoption; or
c) to reify and
abandon the child
to abortion, much
as the man who
impregnated her
has reified and
abandoned her to
begin with.
-
Abortion is thus
the ultimate male
chauvinism, where
such men regard
women as sexual
objects, who if
made pregnant, are
discarded like
broken toys, sent
off to be aborted,
so they can be
played with once
again.
-
Accordingly,
“abortion-rights”
do not serve women
– rather it is
most often a ruse
for male
chauvinists to
trample women and
children.
Thus, we affirm
the following:
-
The equal
protection for
women and their
unborn children
will not occur
until men start
being responsible
in their
sexuality, and
regard women as
their moral equals
and full partners
where sexual
expression is
reserved for
marriage – one
man, one woman,
one lifetime – and
where the
responsibility of
fatherhood is
fully embraced.
