1. No carte blanche abortion, but only in specific circumstances where the mother is raped, is a child/teen, cannot afford to raise a baby but in a relationship (not borne of casual sex). If we lived in an ideal world, disabled babies would not be aborted, but it's up to the future parent to decide what's right/just. 2. Deter casual sex by not giving an option for risk-free enjoyment without direction. 3. People who do not desire relationships but still want sex (aro people) should look at themselves and re-evaluate why they want the reward without the work. Fundamentally opposed to God's idea of relational Love. The emptiness afterward. Glorified masturbation. It is a gift meant to be shared with someone special, not just any random body you find attractive or pleasant or friendly. ## What “romance” actually means in practice Romance is a mix of **feelings, desires, and social scripts** that usually include things like: - Wanting someone to be your **“special person” above others** - Seeking a **dating-type bond** (not just friendship) - Feeling a pull toward **emotional exclusivity** (“you are my person” in a unique category) - Wanting **ritualized intimacy**: dates, anniversaries, couplehood, “us vs. the world” framing - Experiencing **infatuation-like focus** on one person (they feel “different” from everyone else) So romance is less “a single emotion” and more like: > a pattern of emotional intensity + exclusivity + partner-focused bonding that gets labeled as “dating love”
