Bigger View:
Idolatry in many things (religion, sports, music, entertainment, holiday revelry, excesses in food and drink and fashion, materialism, etc.) Are baits of an evil fisherman who would hook us, play us out til tired and reel us in to do as he pleases. This sort of idolatry leads people to manipulate each other for gain - we can become hooked into the game of idol worship and a new level of play ensues. Sex becomes a tool for manipulation by both genders.
Sex - illicit, predatory, manipulative (fornication) is a fundamental aspect relating to;
* Quid Pro Quo games from the school yard, to the workplace, to the church.
* Adultry which leads us to a divorce problem and victimizes all parties, children included.
* Sexually transmitted diseases - rampant the world over.
* A general social response that may result in turning to homosexuality, bisexuality, trans-gender, fear of marrying or staying married, fear or mistrust of the opposite gender, and more ...
* Unwanted Pregnancies, witch in turn can lead to abortion, an unwanted, or an illegitimate child.
In discussing the positions of "Pro-Life" or "Pro-Choice" we can be led into an EITHER-OR Fallacy - (EITHER - you're Pro-Life ... OR - you're Pro-Choice). But we do not get to this point without the sex, and too often, sexual sin. The alternative is the loving relationship between life committed man and woman that understands and accepts the facts of sex.
Other aspects and other deceptions of the mind can also come into play, e.g. Pride.
Would a stay at home mom have made a different decision from that of the one under discussion?
This is a different view that is not reactionary (work of the flesh?) but preventive (fruit of the spirit?) that requires societal and personal moral training, discipline, and self control.
The issue was rightly made of taking the larger view. That deserves it's own thread. I posted the OP article as 'news' mostly as an awareness issue. The posting was not made with personal animosity or the intent to spur that. I am thankful for the many thoughtful posts as there are many aspects, personal, societal, political, religious, educational etc. that are a part of the makeup of the human psyche and thus human behavior.
Enough for this post - feel free to start [a] thread(s) on the pathology of sin, the mindsets and actions along that / those paths and the work of The Word along those paths.
