*sigh* Abortion. . . I KNEW this was gonna come out of this Thanksgiving thread sooner or later. Anyway. . . Here's some thoughts: 1) What about thr right to choose, huh? Let's put this in perspective here: would any woman reading this want a child conceived of rape or incest? How about if the child is in the tube? I happen to know of a woman who HAD to have an abortion or die that very day. . . the fetus in the tube threatened to do internal damage that was beyond repair. . . if she had kept it, like she wanted to (don't ask why, I have no clue) both her and her unborn would have died that day. What is the point of causing two deaths for a doomed principle? 2) Now let's say abortion IS murder. Fine. If my oldest sister had her way, I wouldn't be typing this now (long story). So what. Let's say a woman has an abortion purely for the point that she doesn't want a kid. That is wrong. Very wrong. Denying that child life just because you don't think you could handle it is probably the most selfish and cowardly act a human can sink to. I think to satisfy everyone, all abortions should have some sort of legal hearing. 3) The subject of adoption. I'm sure you've heard the tales of adopted children being problem kids who've gone on to be nothing more than thugs, right? That's just so untrue. Gerald Ford was adopted. That's right, former president Ford. Who's to say adopted children in the right hands won't grow up to be great? Mr. Ford, for one. 4) So let's say the child does end up a thug. Or let's say the child being born has ADS from his mother being a smelly-ass drunk. I've seen too many unruly kids around. . . I think that one kid who shot those British tourists in '93 is a prime example. Let's make this whole thing simple for everyone. . . 5) HAVING CHILDREN SHOULD REQUIRE A LICENSE. Let's face it: one could do more damage to the world mistreating and poorly raising child than one could do with a car. Neither parenting nor driving should be done while under the influence, yet those with substance abuse problems have children on a daily basis. Not to mention they're still on the roads, here (we in Florida call them tourists). The ability to read is required to have a driver's licence, yet it's not to have a kid. You have to take tests to earn the right to be behind the wheel, but not to be behind your girlfriend. Don't get me wrong. I am pro-choice, but only for the right reasons. I am also pro-adoption for those who have kids for all the wrong (IE stupidity) reasons. Being a parent is the most important job in the world. The child you're raising, like it or not, WILL affect the lives of countless others. Maybe we should stop staring angerly (is that even a word?) at abortion clinics, and more at those who go there for the wrong reasons. . . TiGeR X-Treme No returns, no refunds.
