Shame based morality led to Ed Gein.
Mick, you're missing the ethical questions of whether or not the individual or the government has the right to abort, and whether or not an individual or a government has the right to enforce determined reproductive qualities and procedures.

I added the caveat "within reason." I'm talking about things like when your kid bitches about the teacher, you take the adults side and not your whiny ass kid so that they learn they can't be a whiny ass pussy throughout life, nah meAn? I'm not saying you take a ruler and, and you rap it across their knuckles, say "you're going to hell for looking at those playboys you deviant!!!!!!!"
For instance, I have at many times in my life wondered if I should jimmy slam my secretary, who would definitely give it up. I say this not because I have any real attraction to my secretary, or that I don't love my wife. I say it because monogamy does get boring and thirty year old pussy is generally superior to 51 year old pussy. But that's just my animalistic sex drive talking. What I have between my wife, the cumulative sum of experiences from having three kids and nine grandkids, watching them walk, talk, fall, break bones, graduate, have kids of their own, going to Bali, going to South Africa, going back to fucking Iran, seeing where she was born, taking her to where I was when I saw the Iraqi jets being chased out by F-14s over the mountains, not two weeks before they brought my uncle back in a body bag in a Muslim funeral, which none of you could possibly ever understand because you've been taught that Iran is the enemy and that Muslims are subhuman....
There is a consummate love between us that transcends one sexual experience, and I'm not at all saying the shame compels me to remain loyal. What I'm saying is that the things that have guided me in life are based on experience, but also on tradition, and having been taught the right lessons. How many of those lessons are seemingly deeply regressive and characterized by shame? I'd be ashamed if I failed my wife. I'd be ashamed if I failed my daughter. I'd be ashamed if I were a bad example to my sons or my grandsons. I'd be ashamed if I didn't do my all to see America build a wall and dunk Mexico and Venezuela 360 windmill style. If we're all being honest, I think we'd admit a simple truth: That's how dad did it. That's how America does it.
