You’ve kinda gotta see it for yourself, but here’s a little preview:
Is there a way to radically decrease abortions without asking the government to do it? Adoption is often suggested here and that is a good alternative but I think there is another as well.
Marriage. I am not talking just about a return to the “shotgun marriage”; rather, I think an offer of marriage from a man who is not the father but will assume all the traditional responsibilities of fatherhood would be accepted by many unmarried pregnant women. The motif of a man proposing marriage to a woman pregnant with another man’s child is a common one on soap operas that are a fairly good gauge of female fantasy. These stories represent the truth that many pregnant women don’t really want to abort, and would not, if marriage and commitment were offered to them.
Grooms For Life could be facilitated on a practical basis by computerized matching of pro-life single men with unmarried pregnant women interested in carrying to term. Certainly, the number of Grooms For Life would fall short of the million and a half abortions per year–but the government would be able to ensure birth quite imperfectly as well. Additionally, female pro-lifers and married men could spend their time recruiting bachelors to their cause so that the screaming demonstrators outside abortion clinics would soon be replaced by swains in bow ties, holding rings and serenading the pregnant women.
Heh.
Kyso begs Denise to run away from the dark side, but it looks like Nice Guy Marc is good and ready to help out.
This really is a win-win for everyone involved. Pregnant chicks can live their life dream of gettin’ hitched to a semi-anonymous Prince Fetus-Fetishist, and pro-life dudes end up with wives who they know will totally put out. (Note to Dawn Eden: This whole marry-a-nice-Christian-boy thing could be easier than you thought!)
