Letter to the editor: Logical, truthful sex-ed lesson

With an engineering background, I try to live my life logically and with truth. What follows is the only sex-ed course you need.

The purpose of sex is to perpetuate the species. Although there is pleasure as an incentive to procreate, pleasure is not its purpose.

It is logical and intuitively true that a new human’s (or animal’s) existence begins at the moment of conception — not when a heartbeat is audible, at 20 weeks, at birth or any other baseless time or condition.

Terminating a human at any time is simply a killing. The unborn, contrary to the illogical claim that it is “part of a woman’s body,” is a newly created human.

A woman is entitled to control of her body and must not be forced or deceived to conceive against her will. We are told that abortion is mandatory in the event of incest or rape. Logically, the unborn person is innocent of the injustice against the woman. Is its extermination “social justice”? No, of course not. Justice can only be administered against the perpetrator.

A woman is not alone in her responsibilities to the human she carries. The man is responsible for the care of both the woman and their child. This is called “civilization.”

The claim that our country needs immigrants for population growth is another absurdity. Stopping abortion will provide the necessary manpower for our needs.

Let’s stop it all.
