I read the first two pages of this issue, and then I felt like replying. So if this seems kinda random, then sorry.
People say I have an "interesting" and "different" look on the issue of abortion. I stay out of the what is life argument, because frankly it is based upon definitions and those defintions can be changed. It is a fight that is hopeless.
I think women should be able to abort under certain circumstances. Those circumstances occur when the women gets pregnant and she was forced. Rape etc...
However this is where I kinda differ. Look, we have ways that are 99.99 percent effective ALONE in preventing pregnancies. You can use more than one method at the same time. If there is an unexpected pregnancy due to laziness, or in the moment sort of situation, I don't believe that abortion should be an option.
Why? Its kinda philisophical. Because if you get pregnant in today's society you deserve to suffer the consequences. Period, because you made a really stupid choice. The fact is, I don't want to live in a society where people can not suffer the consequences.
I can already predict an argument. The argument is that if the person doesn't want to have a baby then the environment will be bad and you might as well not have it. Well....that isn't necessarily true. Mothers have a bond with their child. They may deny it, but they will regret it in the future. There are countless stories about that. I believe it is a biological feature in our evolution. Also there are plenty of "planned" pregnancies and still there isn't a desireable environment.
Look there will always be mis treated children. There will always be people that don't abide by a society's values and morales. Why? Because that is the consequence for living in a largely populated community of humans. Yeah it sucks, but that is the way it is. My history book suggested that the fall of the Roman empire had something to do with no distinction from right and wrong.
That is why I think this issue is important to fix now. I don't care if the resolution is not my point of view. As long as our society knows what it will accept as "right."
I know it wasn't very scientific. Usually my posts have some scientific knowledge or meaning behind it, but this one doesn't. However it is a point of view that is acknowledged by my piers.
Take it easy guys.
