Controversial Clarifications

A clarification on abortion: One of my problems with the idea that abortion is destroying possible children is that it’s a dangerous line of thinking. Every sperm is potential. Every time a woman menstrates, potential is lost. In fact, all fertile women who could physically endure childbirth should be pregnant so as to ensure that as many potential children are created as possible. Think of all the Mozarts and Leonardo da Vinci’s that could have been created if women just had more babies. Think of all the children who could have existed, but don’t, because they decided not to have unprotected sex. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.
