(Mar. 27, 2025) — In his recent article, the “Honorable” Joseph De Maio once again writes of a subject little considered by the masses. (I use the intended honorific as my opinion as it is misused by most of our Legislative and Judicial branches of government, but that is another subject).
Not to take away from his approach of a little-understood addiction that has rampaged throughout America, I could not help it, but from the first few paragraphs, I drew a parallel of casual or unwed sex as a lottery. Mr. DeMaio’s passage, “…free adults can make their own lawful choices, assuming they are prepared to live with the consequences of those decisions” (emphasis is mine) is what derailed my mind from his intended subject.
One can argue man’s law versus God’s law. My response here may belong elsewhere, but like Mr. DeMaio I pontificate on matters of importance to me. So please forgive me if I have invaded your sensibilities.
Casual Un-Wed Sex as a lottery: This is a lottery we/many of us have played where the $2 jackpot is an orgasm, where everyone wins as the little swimmers and egg didn’t line up to produce the intended winner, an embryo, a future person. The Mega Jackpot can be considered a pregnancy where one little swimmer and one egg beat all the odds. As we go back to consequences for our choices, this lottery-winning is a gift of immense importance.
In our world, man chooses to think morality can be legislated. All our laws are intended as punishment for our transgressions or an attempt to prevent the breaking of God’s laws, whether anyone realizes it or not (i.e., you will not murder, steal, lie, etc.; if you do this is man’s penalty). In the case of abortion man elevated a woman’s body over the results of a recreational decision by inventing abortion where that decision can be ignored, and the consequences are mitigated. The bottom line is that the loser of this lottery is really millions and millions of unborn whose future was predetermined as an inconvenience.
