It is better this way. The sentence structure was enough to drive a perscriptivist to suicide, and cause a descriptivist to question his life choices.

Take the example of abortion - it seems that women need abortion rights because society doesn't lift a single finger to support pregnant women, no matter the circumstances of her pregnancy. A young woman who finds her self pregnant gets scorn from her family and friends, loses options for college or a career, faces exorbitant medical bills... so it seems that abortion gives women an "out" of that impossible situation society throws single pregnant women into. But abortion only enables the rest of society to ignore the needs of women. The Church's position enables us to attack society's misogyny, to treat women like human beings and give them the love and support they (and their children) need.

It seems that the popular positions in American culture make sense only as short-term solutions to institutional problems, and only the Church's teachings provide real solutions for ridding society of those institutional problems. Take the example of abortion - it seems that women need abortion rights because society doesn't lift a single finger to support pregnant women, no matter the circumstances of her pregnancy.

Federal grants for individuals are referred to as special needs grants--which include grants for housing, health care, and food and work programs.[/color][/color][/size]

[size=3][color=#232323][color=#232323]But you’re right, that doesn’t fix being shunned by your friends and family. Sorry about the difficulty of the women who finds herself in “that impossible situation society throws single pregnant women into”. By the way, unless in the case of a rape, sex is usually considered consensual and there are sometimes unwanted consequences for the participants. Yes, it’s tough on the mom, but it smells of elderberries that it’s tougher on the children. It’s the children who did NOT do anything to be put into that situation. It’s the two DNA donors who did put the child in that situation.[/color][/color][/size]

[size=3][color=#232323][color=#232323]It's difficult to balance being kind to the children and holding the mom responsible for her actions as well.[/color][/color][/size][/font]
