 My desire? Dude, we live in a world where people are going to have sex whether we think they should or not. Do we want to condemn both those ignorant people and their conceived child to a miserable life?

Stop making this about me "wanting to have sex" my sexual practices are irrelevant to this argument. I do have sex but my partner and I luckily are not in poverty and utilize contraceptives, unlike a significant number of people around the world.

At the end of the day, this is another thing Bitcoin fixes. Because FIAT is why the majority of the world remains in poverty and unable to support themselves or their potential offspring, so they don't practice safe sex as much and they have abortions more. When everyone has a stable financial foundation, and access to knowledge on effective contraceptions, unwanted pregnancies and abortions will both reduce significantly. That's our mutual goal as a society, to reduce suffering caused by unwanted pregnancies and subsequent abortions.

I'm pro reduced suffering, I'm not pro abortion except where it can reduce suffering. Ultimately Bitcoin is the solution again, which is why it's my focus overall.
