I once wrote on this very same subject about 8 to 9 years ago. I know that everyone is oh so worried about the baby, and what a life it could have, and taking it out of proportion to assimilate it to murder. Murder is one thing, and abortion is another. There should be a decision made by the mother and father; if the father is present that is. It is ultimately up to them to decide whether or not to do it in the first place. The major issue that I think would calm both sides is if there was an actual time limit to performing abortions.

An amount equal to the moment just prior to the cells actually forming parts of a person. So, there would be no hard feelings, considering it is really just a mass of cells. As long as an abortion is performed before the cells become a person, I find no harm in mothers getting these procedures done. I don't agree with mothers doing this in spite of money or status problems, because that is no excuse, there are plenty of women who cannot even birth babies, who would love to adopt your child. I think they should really only decide to get an abortion if they have been raped violently, and for which the child should never have been made in the first place, since it was not the mothers idea of the unfortunate happening to her. I think that if you know for certain that your baby is going to live in an uninhabitable body, if there were major complications with the brain or body, to where they could not enjoy life, or even be aware of life.

This may sound a little brute and horrid, but I also agree with it because a lot of us hardworking people in America pay for these children who are born. If they were prevented from being born, then our taxes might be lower, and our population control would still be in effect. I assume that our American way of population control is letting all the people with no money die from lack of health care, and letting our prisons hold the real day to day killers out on bail. Defending other countries with OUR men, for them to all die slowly, but in numbers. Anyway, I do agree that abortions should be allowed in our country, because if not, we might screw up our country worse than ever. If there is any naive persons reading this, there has, is , and will be and absolute problem in our young girls having babies at young ages, and having and average of at least two to three by there 20's. Sorry, but it's true. You can't deny it.

This is my first piece here on Helium, so excuse my in formalities.
