abortion and responsibility

I encountered this dude who said that responsible people abort their children.

I replied: "but unprotected sex outside of marriage is ok"

Yeah, obviously I got a bit upset, called him a degenerate, blah blah blah. But let's examine what's going on here.

Is it responsible to murder an unborn child who isn't wanted? I don't think it is. It sounds responsible. It sounds like the right thing to do. I mean, that's what we're all after, "the right thing". What is the right thing?

I propose two things: self-control and marriage.

I believe it is more responsible and more sensible to control the urges of the body and wait until marriage. Yes this is difficult, but is that what we are now? Do we give up whenever something is difficult? Is that the standard of morality? If it's too hard, then it's wrong. Even animals care for their children. They don't rip open their own wombs and destroy the young because they're too lazy and selfish to care for them. You people are worse than animals. You live for your pleasure with no thought of the future, not only your future, but the future of the next generation, and of society as a whole. Here's more of this regrettable conversation:

no deflection ted. getting an abortion can be a very responsible decision

Self
Yeah you said that. I'm saying that truly responsible people consider the consequences of their actions in advance, sex being extremely consequential and all. I prefer to think of myself as a man with a will rather than an animal subject to whatever fleeting passions may arise.

you can consider yourself whatever you want teddy, no form of pre-coitus birthcontrol is 100% effective, as you should know given your interest in this debate. also interesting wording that pregnancy is a consequence in your world view. i wonder which archaic text that comes from

Self
oh my a diminutive. oh my anti religion. i'm not talking about birth control. i'm talking about being married. yeah religion. i wonder how society has lasted so long with all these religious rules hampering my fun. do you even think about the crap the atheists feed you? do you even consider for once that these "rules" of religion from this archaic text that has endured for millennia despite ignorami like you disregarding it? because it's right. but you want to throw it away so you can have your pleasure with your penis and then toss out the next generation like trash. you're the reason society is collapsing and i'm trying to keep it together. you're not responsible. you're a common atheist degenerate who believes in nothing but your own pleasure. gimme a break with your "responsibility"

I hate capitalization in social media by the way.

Thanks to Darwin, modern anti-reproductive science (which is hardly the culprit as there is little ideology involved in birth control) and the flood of atheistic dogma that has entrenched itself into our universities, we now have this guy, @flashgo21, who believes it is somehow responsible to engage in what used to be considered consequential, life-changing, weighty behavior, but is now simply another casual hobby. Yes, I am religious and I believe religion, exclusively the Christian religion, is correct.

Society rests on the edge of a blade, as it were, and every single one of us either works to maintain civilization or destroy it by our choices and our beliefs. Individual morality build the West, and this nation, as we agreed on principles that life is sacred, self-control is a virtue (among many others), and the family sits at the core of society and its future. Without principles, without true virtue, we will not survive as a nation or a society. In this regard, it matters little whether or not you trust in God as I do, only that you trust that these principles alone secure our future as a people who strive for kindness and "the right thing".
