Reproduction

According to Wikipedia, worldwide unintended pregnancies in 1999 were estimated at 38% of all pregnancies. That was 80 million human beings conceived unintentionally in 1999. Worldwide 92% of all abortions are due to unintended pregnancy. 

Much is said about female reproductive rights. What about female reproductive responsibility? Much is said about the right to life of the unborn. What about the right of the unborn to be born to a mother who can provide a high quality of human life to that infant? Where is contemporary feminist activism on this issue?

Eliminating the 38% of unintended pregnancies worldwide with sex education, prophylaxis distribution by government and legislation which penalizes irresponsible reproduction rather than rewarding it would significantly solve the pro-lifers' problems with abortion. Unfortunately religious pro-lifers consistently act against sex education of children. This is irrational and destructive to the human species. 

A comparison between a pregnant human mother and a cow would be perceived as misogynist and distasteful by many. But what difference is there between a human mother who is not mindful of her pregnancy's implications and a pregnant cow? None, in my opinion. 

There is much political hooting about the responsibility of governments to insure women's reproductive rights. There is hardly a political whisper in favor of guaranteeing the quality of life of each and every human being who is born of a woman. There is a collusion of silence among heterosexuals who conceive and bear children. The injustice of bringing any child into the world unintentionally without the means to provide fully for it in this time of human knowledge and science lies at the root most of the poverty and violence in the world.
