Lust at Tufts

From Tufts University’s (MA) campus newspaper, Feb. 15: Visitors to the Mayer Campus Center on Valentine’s Day opened the door to discover phallic balloons, condom roses and a “vulva wishing tree,” which were decorations for the “Sex Fair,” hosted by VOX: Voices for Choice. “The goal of the Sex Fair is to create a dialogue [...]

NYC’s ruptured condom campaign

I alluded in my Gothamist’s site. This is related to the HPV vaccine fak in that its proponents want to educate about the vaccine, not the sexually destructive behavior that leads to the need for a vaccine. NYC stats are shocking.

Human eggs for sale

As liberal legislators across the country promote taxpayer funded embryonic stem cell/cloning experimentation, a main argument is there are leftover embryos in in vitro fertilization clinics they can see put to good use that would otherwise be discarded. We have always maintained the number of embryos available for experimentation is minute, and women will soon [...]

New Stanek WND column, “Why not mandate condoms for boys?”

It doesn’t seem fair that legislators are focusing solely on adolescent girls to try to slow the spread the sexually transmitted disease human papillomavirus….

So a brief blog post today on one of the more utilitarian reasons that I have heard for abortion/contraception – it saves money….

This sounds to me like something I heard from a colleague last year that the reason that New York’s prison population was down… because of Roe v Wade – since then, thousands of poor people have had abortions and a large number of those aborted babies would’ve committed crime and ended up in jail.

I should have suggested to him that an even better way of reducing prison population would be to kill everyone inside, but that would’ve made things awkward and I had only half-finished my drink at the time (and so no quick escape from the awkwardness).

Surely these sorts of arguments are completely beside the point when it comes to abortion. Either abortion is killing of the most innocent, in which case utilitarian arguments like this are sickening and deeply perverse, or abortion is nothing more than a medical procedure, in which case how much money it may save the state is neither here nor there… unless the state is thinking of using it as an argument for compulsory abortion as a cost saving device, a la China?

So, as with most abortion arguments, they are a smokescreen which obscure the real argument: are we killing a human being or not?
