If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option, when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not, in fact, making abortion a much more desirable alternative
I think this can be interpreted as “young people will inevitably get pregnant”, not “young people should get pregnant”.
Still wrongheaded and cringeworthy, but maybe not as monstrous as it initially looked.
