Sexual Bondage

Sexual Bondage.

Dear Sir,

The almost unbelievable stupidity of the women who want abortion on demand absolutely staggers me.

Men have always tended to be selfish and irresponsible in sexual matters, and the pill and abortion encourage this attitude.

In countries where abortion on demand is available the obvious male attitude is the height of irresponsibility. They place all the responsibility of contraception on the women.

"She can take the pill or have an abortion if the pill does not work. I've had my fun, there is always some other stupid bird to give me a good time."

There is no regard for the woman, as a person, as an equal human being. All she becomes is a sex play thing.

Do these women really want to encourage their menfolk to be even more selfish and self indulgent than they are already?

Can they not see they are making themselves into sexual conveniences for the debased, selfish type of man who wants them for one thing only?

This is not emancipation or liberation. It is sexual bondage of the most horrible kind
