These people keep talking about "accepting the consequences" of having sex. For fifty years, we have mitigated the *potential* consequences of sex with birth control and the option of abortion. Pregnancy has not been an inevitable consequence of sex in all this time. Yet now we are supposed to suddenly accept it as a foregone conclusion, because they say so?
Do we have a specific legal definition of what exactly constitutes "immoral"? Is there any basis to argue that immorality is a highly subjective term subject to change? Abortion is mentioned in the bible only insofar as a dubious recipe for same is given. Islam and Judaism do not forbid it. I would be curious to know on what a claim of immorality is founded.
