Atheists and abortion
Actually, my title for this post may be misleading, since I don’t actually know for certain what Chris Dillow’s views are, except that they’re usually worth engaging with. But this post is a refreshing change from the usual contributions on both sides of the debate. There are a whole raft of arguments that are not normally considered when the question is asked, because too many people are following well-worn scripts.
One question that, to my mind, is often overlooked, is why women should have to consider an invasive procedure on their body (chemical or surgical), just because men are unwilling to wear a rubber. There are, I think, occasions when a “woman’s right to choose” is used to excuse a man’s responsibility for where and how he sticks his dick. And how feminist is that?!

Doug,
Would it be problematic if one of your flock should see you write “sticks his dick?” I honestly can’t speak for English religious culture, but my guess is that it’s probably more appropriate than here. Not that I mind too terribly much.

Justin, I have no idea. It would be a problem for some and not for others, I guess.
