Let's look at the numbers.

8.5 + 1.3 x 10^6 = daily sperm production per gram

~1.75 oz = average weight of testicle

49 g ~ 1.75 oz

(8.5 + 1.3 x 10^6) x 49 = 63,700,416.5 sperm per day

~200,000,000 sperm in avg expulsion

1 in 4 chance of conception from sex

1.25 × 10-9 chance of one sperm fertilizing

chance x sperm/day = .08 good sperm wasted per day

~90,000,000 males in United States who could conceivably conceive

So, if no one had sex. . . .

males x wasted = 7,200,000 BABIES DENIED LIFE A DAY
Number of abortions per day: Approximately 115,000

7.2 million > 115,000

QED.

Thanks for playing.

Don't forget to take into account the probability of twins or triplets!

Yeah, but imagine what happens when we take in to account masturbation. That's the true Holocaust that abstinence could prevent.

COINCIDENCE???

Hey, I'm female. I only kill one kid a month. Hells yes for moral superiority!

Don't forget all the sperm that aren't the first to penetrate the egg.

That doesn't make any sense

Coat Hangar Producers of the Greater Northeast Area,
Absolute comedygold. Nothing like joking about a subject that makes some people nearly have brain aneurisms. I hope you have a secret ISP. Expect a bomb through your window soon if you don't.

Don't forget about people who are sterile. And it dosen't count if it's UNWILLING abstinance :D.

That's what I've been saying for years! But still no one finds my dead baby jokes funny!

Oh..wait...

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the Implanon prevents ovulation, so I don't kill any babies! Hell yeah x 2. ;)

You kill the babies by...by...

I'll be keeping an eye on you...suspicious person who isn't murdering babies...

They murder potential babies by not having sex with guys that are killing our sperm cause we are not having sex. Sound confusing?

These women think they can walk around with a guilt free conscience.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

You're either with us -- creating babies -- or against us, and murdering 'em. Which is it?!

(I'll come back to read your response in a few, I have to go off to the hospital to deliver my seventeenth child.)

It makes perfect sense.
When in doubt, whip it out.
Then blame it on the women.

For too long in history have they gotten off easy.
I think I phrased that oddly..

Abstinence does indeed kill...but it also keeps you safe from STDs on occasion. Plus being abstinent doesn't define a set period of time...

I have lots of sex.

Maybe I am murdering babies because I'm not getting pregnant because I have the Implanon (basically the pill)?

It doesn't keep you safe from STDs, because people who are taught "abstinence only" who do have sex don't use condoms because they're not educated about it.

Duh, don't you watch Boston Legal? ;)

You're not letting the widdle eggs OUT! You're ... gasp ... a Baby Jail!

I think that's worse! Babies! In jail!
Actually, it's totally cool. If you want your eggs when you're ninety, they'll still be there! Yay.

You know Marrakech is really cool right? Oh, sure, he's a gun-toting small-government patriarchal dinosaur, but his head and his heart talk to each other and that's what matters.

(Hmm, anyone else detecting a certain drunken sentimentality here? But to continue...)

It would be massive, air-raid-siren HOOT to have a strict Catholic in here defending the right to life of sperms and eggs.

I don't think they'll fall for it. I really don't. I reckon the pontificous ol' Pope would take a rain-check on this one. :D

I wonder if they have prisoner's rights.

Sperm have rights too!

News to me.

They should rise up against their overlords, hey AP they are the ones working for the big man. jk

They should rise up against their overlords
I think they do try when their overlord is sleeping. :p

C'mon. You give me such an obvious line for a really bad pun, what can I do?

But when they rise up, that just results in wet sticky bedsheets.

The most pathetically stupid argument ever.

Killing (v.): to deprive (one) of life

Life (n.): an organismic state characterized by capacity for metabolism, growth, reaction to stimuli, and reproduction

In both I chose the most apporpriate definition from M-W for this discussion.

Sperm is not life. Eggs are not life either. Two of them combined makes life. For something to be killed it first needs to have life. If the two never meet, life is not created and there is no killing possible.

Secondly, even if we stretch the definitions to say that "abstinence is killing" logically we must also say that "contraception is killing". Are you ready to accept that statement?
