Even though we can sympathize with the difficulties women may face, as pro-lifers we believe that these are not acceptable reasons, that there are no acceptable reasons. We see chastity as a positive thing that will reduce the incidence of teen pregnancy and, as a result, abortion. While that is true, it is based on a very limited understanding of what this virtue really means. Chastity is an expression of real love, wanting the best for the other person and striving to be good and holy in our relationships. It is a freely made decision to use sexual self-control out of respect for oneself, one's partner and God's plan for our lives.
Chastity bears good fruit.
It brings people freedom from all the consequences of sex outside of marriage, it helps them grow and develop as individuals and it leads to better relationships. It is also according to God's will. In fact, God felt so strongly about the appropriate use of His gift of sexuality, that He made it the topic of two of the Ten Commandments. The first clearly condemns adultery and by extension, physical sexual activity outside of marriage. The second goes much further.
