We could make the claim, and back it up with evidence, that having sex outside marriage proves a woman is irrational and incapable of realistically determining her own best interest, and therefore she should not be permitted to make other important decisions ... such as whether to kill a baby.

"We could make the claim"
Yes, you could.
"and back it up with evidence"
No, you couldn't. You really, really couldn't.
We could make the claim, and back it up with evidence, that having sex outside marriage proves a man is irrational and incapable of realistically determining his own best interest, and therefore he should not be permitted to make other important decisions ... such as whether to vote Teabagger.
Fixed it for you, you truly disgusting misogynist.
I swear, these people will turn us into Afghanistan unless we fight back against them.

Unless, of course, her best interest was having a good fuck with a man she's attracted to.
In that case having sex outside marriage is just fine.
Something tells me a few people over at Free Republic have never had an orgasm and don't know what they're talking about.
HEY! It takes two to tango! If the woman is irrational, incapable of realistically determining one's own best interest and should not be permitted to make other important decisions, then so is the man.
Now I think I understand why these people have such an issue with basic science. They can't grasp the concept of evidence.
How on Earth can you decide what is and isn't a good decision? As if you could provide incontrovertible evidence that one opinion is superior to another.
As far as they are concerned, everything has a specific truth associated with it and any evidence contrary to that 'truth' is wrong. It must be so easy to live in a black and white world.

You people wouldn't know evidence if it blew you in a dark alley.
If you actually thought your "reasoning" through, you would realize that if suggesting that men shouldn't be demonized as much for having sex outside of marriage, then whom does that leave for men to have sex with? Other men! You are inadvertently promoting homosexuality!
You could make a claim, and back it up with evidence, that marriage in and of itself is a bad thing.
Also, I believe that saving yourself for marriage is an inherently bad thing if for no other reason than you'd have no real sense of what your turn-ons and turn-offs are until you're with the person you promised to be with for the rest of your life. Sex is the second most common reason for divorce (behind money). In other words, one of the two isn't feeling sexually fulfilled. Yes, you could, um, get lucky if your first and only is exactly what you need, sexually, but isn't that an awful big risk?

"I have a genuine question for anyone. Why is the right so keen that every single pregnancy results in a birth? Do they want more souls for Christianity? Do they want to increase the population? Do they want more workers for business? Do they want more soldiers for the army? Or do they just simply want control of women's (and men's) reproductive functions?"
In my opinion, yes to all of the above.
If Tax-chick is actually a chick, internalized misogyny doesn't make me furious, it just makes me sad.
@ Farpadokly: Because if they acknowledged the truth, then they'd have to admit that God is the universe's biggest and most prolific abortionist.
"We could make the claim, and back it up with evidence, that having sex outside marriage proves a woman is irrational and incapable of realistically determining her own best interest, and therefore she should not be permitted to make other important decisions ... such as whether to kill a baby."
Or have sex... so that means she was raped. Did you not think that one through before spewing it out?
"We could make the claim, and back it up with evidence, that having sex outside marriage proves a woman is irrational and incapable of realistically determining her own best interest, and therefore she should not be permitted to make other important decisions ... such as whether to kill a baby."
So the man does what? Mails his sperm to her or something? Otherwise he's got to be present too, in which case he's also having sex outside of marriage. That is unless he's already married to someone else, which is then adultery and he should be put to death along with the woman, according to your Wholly Babble.
Do you Freepers ever actually think anything all the way through?
Um... what about the guy?
I think if a woman is irrational and can't make good decisions, then she has no business raising a child and should get an abortion.
Of course, men who have sex outside of marriage are showing outstanding judgement and are doing what's best for everyone. (/sarcasm)
"We could make the claim, and back it up with evidence..."
But then, you don't back it up with any evidence, do you?
You could just as easily claim that having sex outside marriage proves a woman is incapable of choosing to continue her pregnancy.
Why is pregnancy always only the woman's fault with these people?
Newsflash: It takes two to tango, sweetheart, unless you're doing the one-handed tango, in which case nobody's getting pregnant (a guy rubbing one out into a cup at the sperm bank or fertility clinic notwithstanding).
Also, since your username is "Tax-chick," I take it that you wouldn't mind mind having your taxes raised to pay for contraception, sex education, and welfare for the babies who were unwanted for economic reasons? Oh, you wouldn't like that? Well then, as far as I'm concerned, your opinion on reproductive issues is irrelevant until you're willing to put your money where your mouth is.
And on another related note, it's already vile and depressing when men spew this misogynist rubbish, but when (people who at least appear to be) brainwashed and self-loathing women do it, it reaches a whole new level of vile and depressing.
We could make the claim, and back it up with evidence, that having sex outside marriage proves a woman is irrational
No, it just proves that sex is fun and people enjoy it. You'd find that out if you tried it. Or maybe not.
We could make the claim, and back it up with evidence, that posting of Free Republic proves a person is irrational and incapable of realistically determining her own best interest, and therefore she should not be permitted to make other important decisions ... such as voting.
Well, Tax-chick, shit or get off the pot! We're waiting for this evidence, and I get the feeling we'll be waiting for quite some time to come...
"We could make the claim"
Yeah, you're real good at that. Claim this, claim that, claim the other thing ... Day after day, claim claim, claim, yadda yadda yadda ...
"... and back it up with evidence ... "
Aaaaaaaaah-hahahahahahahaaaa ... Yeah, you just go on and find your "evidence" and then make your "claim" and then ...
Dismiss you as the obvious control-freak religious fanatic that you are.
So, ya know, good luck with that.
" ... such as whether to kill a baby"
Why are you so worried? Your god killed thousands and thousands of babies in the old testament. And not just babies, unborn babies. He must like doing that, he did so much of it. You'd think you'd be used to it by now since your god did so much of it.
Well, killing babies is bad, but on the other hand,removing clumps of cells is just as ethical as removing a wart.
We COULD back it up evidence, but, Umm... the dog ate it all... Yes, that's it. The dog ate it... and I spilled my orange juice on it and it's drying out and I'll bring it in to show you all tomorrow... promise.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
