When it comes to rape and consent etc. I agree that current laws leave a lot of grey area. I don't like grey area in law. I'd prefer things were as black and white as possible. And I think the best way to establish that in this case is to make sex outside of marriage illegal. https://t.co/2eN69cqpfG— 🎀 • Tara McCarthy • 🎀 (@TaraMcCarthy444) December 25, 2017

That is the position held by Christianity as well: sex outside of marriage is illicit. I think what is needed is self control more than a codification of acceptable Judeo-Christian conduct. A nation of strong morals needs few laws.
Ms. McCarthy's argument is too simplistic. There are women who are brutally raped by their mates - inside the boundary of marriage.
On a certain level I agree with Mr. Rowe. Those with a strong moral compass live beyond and above the law. Law, punishes lawbreakers based on a cultural code of ethics.
There has to be some basic agreement on what a nation's (or at least a state's) common morality will be. That is the basic reason for the culture wars: we do not agree on common basic moral principles.
This is what ultimately divides this country as the costs of the sexual revolution have been nationalized and we spend almost a trillion a year on welfare programs to deliver what fathers and mothers used to be expected to provide. You and I have to pay for children who are not ours and the homes that irresponsible, single parents created. They have chosen their own sexual morality. You and I have to pay for it.
I think what you are saying is that when licentiousness runs rampant, people will come on the scene proposing a variety of solutions to the problems of decadence.
And, of course, this woman has the right to propose a solution like this.
And of course, I have the right to mock her.
If her Ethno-Nationalism wasn't bad enough, hopefully enough people are enough enamored with their sexual freedom that this will be the nail in the coffin of this woman's public career.
Sexual freedom does not mean we have to pay for other people's kids. That's another issue, though I certainly can see why people think they are part of the same issue.
It is true that society suffers the cost of any kind of self-destructive behavior.
Sounds like you know a lot more about this woman than I do. I know nothing of her and was only commenting on the one twitter/tweet you posted. Anything beyond the tweet and I plead my lack of knowledge.
Yeah. I half-tolerated her previously.
This was the final straw for me.
Free moral agency is a gift from God. We live, learn, and grow into maturity (or greater immaturity!) as we move along in life.
We have, in fact, made it easy for Americans to be "habitual offenders" regarding sustaining a cavalier attitude toward parenthood. If a man knows he can be a perpetual sperm donor instead of a father, a woman knows she will never bear the full financial cost of single motherhood - what is meant to be mercy toward the children might really prove itself a generational curse regarding adulthood and responsible decisions.
My husband and I chose to raise two children together and the investment in our sons was borne in sacrificial manner by both of us. So there are times when it grates on my nerves that churches will focus so much on "single mothers" in the church, when there are "two parent homes" where struggles can be equal or greater regarding financial hardship. God knows that there were times when we could have used a helping hand, but the focus was on some women who birthed children with multiple men and raised them like feral cats. snark
