Two of the lady commentators over at Protein Wisdom, Dicentra and Leigh, made the following insightful remarks earlier today…
Point was made somewhere that to have sex is to consent to pregnancy, regardless of the methods you use to avoid conception. Therefore, there’s no such thing as an accidental pregnancy. It’s the failure to conceive that’s the accident.
Our reproductive systems have a single mission: reproduction. The only reason sex feels good is to ensure the continuation of the species. Our reproductive systems are as relentless as they are brainless—they never calculate whether it’s a good time to get pregnant nor whether the sire is worthy of the dam (or vice-versa) nor whether conception could result in families being destroyed or sloppily created.
That’s what people must recognize—and teach younger generations: your reproductive system doesn’t give a rip about you OR your welfare. It messes with your head six ways til Sunday to fulfill its mission, and it will do so at your expense.
This is the flip side of the argument for free sexual expression used by lefties. Sexual intercourse is intended for reproduction, but in the marital bed it is also a bond between the spouses.
Both of these arguments could stand some fleshing out, no pun intended, or they are two sides of the same coin: reducing us to the sum of our naughty bits.
Indeed. The Left wants to reduce us to the level of the animal, to have animal desires outweigh our Reason, because that makes us, they believe, Pavlovian and, therefore, easier to train [ie: re-engineer].
Of course, the Left faces a rather high hurdle in that Human Beings are not animals. No Human Being can ever destroy another’s Soul.
UPDATE at 2011…
I had forgotten about these fitting remarks made by Serr8d a couple of weeks ago:
When Leftists have succeeded in destroying any ‘formal’ religious links we have to spiritual God, then it’ll be easier to control their fellow man. We’ll have only the Left’s Animal Husbandry, CONTROL with a vengeance. Not only will abortion be encouraged, but we’ll see the return of full-blown eugenics (abortion is but a file in that cabinet). With ObamaCare, we’ve caught a whiff of the Left’s death panels.
As they see us, as animals, we can, and must, be treated as animals. Animal husbandry.
Dead solid perfect. He nails the effect of their cause.
