Sex is inherently wrong because it is blatant theft of semen from sack.

Eh. Pro-life is just a label.
Most Pro-lifers believe that abortion should be legal, just with restrictions. So it becomes like 80%+ of the population that think it should be legal. Not many people are as extreme as superfan.

Bullshit. I call fucking bullshit. You should be encouraging government programs of all possible kinds if you believe that abortion is murder.

You fear federal overreach more than dead babies?

Sure, if you look at it on a huge scale-but the motives are the same.
Keeping criminals that have committed death-penalty worthy crimes is deemed to have a negative effect on society, so they get killed.
Keeping an unwanted child alive that could lead to disaster in a multitude of ways for the family is deemed to have a negative effect by the family, so they get killed.

I agree, though with less concern for federal overreach.

LOL Dude, are you reading like the Freudian bible? Who is your pastor? I want to subscribe to his newsletter because this sounds like comedic gold.
What else does Jesus say about sex being evil? I really want to know!

agreed, if it was that important you should be dropping condoms on cities in the millions, and fighting for federal funding for things that provide sex education and contraception, like say Planned Parenthood, I don't buy it

American Empire is from Ghost in the Shell.
Europe being run by women is something an anarcho-socialist on another forum I go to spouts on about. He also posted this picture in the politics forum, an accurate representation of modern Europe:

No, not when the argument against abortion is sanctity of life. Then the two issues become part of the same discussion.

People are going to fuck, period. Your options are:
-Unwanted pregnancies
-Abortions
-Sex education and Contraceptives
Take your pick.

federal overreach is what brought us Roe, so you'll forgive me if I'm wary of using it to solve the problem when it caused the problem in the first place.
govt. funding for Planned Parenthood is... fine by me as long as it doesn't go to abortions.

It doesn't go to fund abortions. 3% of their services are performing abortions. The rest goes to std testing, contraceptive distribution, and cancer screenings.
In an ideal world nobody would have sex except to make babies in marriage? I can't tell if your against contraceptives or not.

I didn't say anything about sex, either in marriage or not. and who is against contraception? just because I don't want the feds providing it doesn't mean I don't want it existing...
