The Law of Unintended Consequences
The Gates of Vienna has a very interesting post on reproductive rights and the impact they have on male-female relationships.
I can just see some person bringing a hold harmless legal form to an evening’s pleasure - that ought to really warm things up!
Of course, women will begin to understand that even with insurance (another options suggested in the post) that they have been handed a thin gruel in place of a meal - raising a child is so much more than the simple costs of paying for the various food, clothing, activity, and other expenses. We have twin grand daughters and have taken an active part in their raising. It isn’t the double cost of food and clothing that wears you out. on the other hand, it’s more than double the fun to have these two people in our lives. Maybe at some point people will wander back to the concept that there is a third (or perhaps third and fourth!) person(s) involved in their sterile calculations.
This returns me to the title of the Gates of Vienna post - King Solomon and the Roe-men. Solomon’s wisdom in the famous case was to remind all that they were talking about another person.
