Abortion, is it interesting?
Shun being a bore! Killing your baby is exciting, I guess. Then again, childbirth isn’t exactly sensory deprivation, either. A B or T? huh? And what do charged particles have to do with it (ions) ? Well, some think abortion is positive, others negative. I pulled that one out of my hat! Boring Ions become interesting, when we’re talking about human babies! A B or T, a baby or a cross (to bear). Geez, this word is packed. It even has OR, as in choice. Okay, I’ll stop being crazy and deconstructionist (although boredom, particles, choice, and crosses turn out to be surprisingly relevant). There's also ABO blood type. Bloody hell, man.
There are 98 pages of Justice Alito (draft decison). I read the first 8. He’s logical and ordered, and I guess I’ll trust him to make an intelligent decision. I don’t want to read 98 pages. I can do that. I’m not on the court. I’m not even a lawyer! Different things are interesting to different people. I’m shunning boredom. Then again, maybe it's interesting. I haven't read it. Don't knock it til you've tried it, lol. J/k.
In other news, I finished the (almost 1000 page) DFW book, Infinite Jest, yesterday. About time.
ARGUMENTS PRO AND CON
Abortion
Pro
If a mother doesn’t want her kid, then the kid is better off dead
Chemical abortions aren’t nearly as nasty and gruesome as the d&e kind
It’s morally the equivalent of a steak
Overpopulation
Ensures all children are wanted
Krill
Rape and incest and life of the mother
Devil approves
Sex is fun, best sex is uninhibited
Perhaps fetus not quite human yet
Fetus equivalent to a tumor, leech
If illegal, women will die from unsafe abortions
Abortion doctors income, industry $
Truth; Reinforces people as basically meat (not souls)
Con
Life begins at conception
Adoption!! Love your kid, (and yourself)
Morally repugnant: mothers murdering their own children
Not a tumor. A human being. Helpless, too.
More like a siamese twin, connected to mother
If abortion is legal, human life is degraded,
murder of adults, by extension, becomes logical, if not permitted
Procreative sex is better? (says priests who take a vow of chastity)
Reproduction as giving meaning, purpose to life
I truly see both sides
I don’t care
If it were my kid, I’d want it to live
Maybe some people shouldn’t be having kids
What arguments am I omitting?
Abortion:
PRO
The Darkness
Everybody Can Kill Their Baby (a Source of Pain)
Before birth, after birth, during birth, what does it matter
Kill your toddler, kill your teenager, kill your adult
Kill ‘em all, says Metallica
Hostility is the American Way
Pro-Choice: You can choose to kill anybody you like
You can be an assassin, a soldier, a thrill-killer, it’s all the same
Kill some time, make a killing, tell a joke that kills!
KIll someone you disagree with, kill who your president tells you to
Kill for fun! Because you like the scream, the fight, the spatter!
Kill your fetus.Little fucker.Goddamn leech. Murder the son of a bitch.
Kill your mind. Get wasted. Kill your sorrows. Get completely drunk.
Kill the lights. Kill two birds with one stone. Kill the kkk. Kill! Kill! Kill!
CON
The light
Thou shalt not kill! Make love, not war, God is a Creator
Peace, love, happiness, health, wealth!! God is love
Love love, yourself, your children, your fetus, life
Love everyone, even those that hate you, love ‘em all
On second thought, I remain pro-life
I do care, a little
(plus, I was adopted)
Does demand for adoptions meet or exceed the number of abortions?
(in the US)? and (worldwide)?
Adoption is a loving choice, and not an immoral choice
Love your baby, love yourself, and do the right thing!
Your baby, and his or her family, will thank you
So, adoption demand,
Some sources estimate that in the US, about 2m couples are waiting to adopt
Which is a 36:1 ratio of couples waiting to adopt for every one child placed for adoption (!)
The number of couples waiting to adopt (US)= x,
“no statistics, but est. between 1-2M couples”
(worldwide)= y (couldn’t find)
The number of abortions (US)= 1.2M ,
(worldwide)=y (couldn’t find)
(Says google)
The average child waiting for adoption waits more than 3 years
So, dozens of couples competing for each child
The demand for adoptions meets or exceeds the number of abortions, is my point.
