news flash: having sex may cause some side effects... such as pregnancy

this evening, ladies and gentlemen, we will be bringing you a special segment, highlighting the topic of abortion, a little piece we like to call...
abortion: a logical perspective

now, before i start, let me say that for the purpose of this particular vocalization of my opinion, i will be setting aside my religious and moral beliefs and presenting the topic without them as foundation.
i have been strongly pro-life for as long as i can remember, always for many reasons, some of which are religious and moral, some of which are medically and logically based. as i continue to age and view the world around me, i notice that the idea of terminating a pregnancy is becoming more and more acceptable to the general population, which happens to also be correlating with the continued acceptance of loose sexual behavior. this correlation does not surprise me in the least, as i have watched my generation lose all concepts of morality and responsibility, and what a better way to display such losses than through rampant sex and frequent abortions. in my personal opinion, the more frequently people are allowing themselves to become sexual active in the wrong contexts, the quicker people are to not take responsibility for such actions. i am not sure when people began forgetting that pregnancy is something that can come for sex, not to mention a myriad of other far more unpleasant things, but i didn't think that this was news to anyone. last time i checked, sex is how babies are made.
now, let us be in the position of a young woman who is in a situation involving this issue. she has been on birth control for five years, and she is choosing to have sex life, whether it be with one person or a more casual "free sex for anyone and everyone" situation. she happens to get pregnant, and now she wants an abortion because shes young, unmarried, unattached, and wants to enjoy her freedom. or maybe shes scared, alone, being rejected by a loved one, or unsure. so this young woman pleads her right to choose. now, correct me if i am wrong, but last time i checked, those who advocate for a "woman's right to choose" are called "pro-choice". notice that the word "choice" is singular. in this singular context, i would have to consider myself pro-choice as well. i believe in a woman's right to choose. some women, CHOOSE to have sex, some women dont. THERE is your choice, your one shot. you make your choice and you deal with what your choices bring.

what makes this even more aggravating is not just the fact that people are not taking responsibility for their actions, but the fact that they could NOT have an abortion and still be absolved of their parental responsibilities, yet they are still choosing to have abortions anyway. why do people not consider the option of adoption to be a valid one? are you that selfish that you would deny another woman who cannot have a baby the gift of having a child to love and raise because having an abortion saves you time and energy? in 2002, there were over seven million women in the united states who were unable to successfully conceive a child or carry out a full-term pregnancy. in 2002, there were over one million abortions performed in the united states. ONE MILLION of those women could have had newborn babies in their arms that year. now, i am not saying that there are not plenty of children that are in need of homes that these women could have adopted, and i am sure that at least some of them did, but to deny your child a chance for life and to deny another individual their right to happiness out of selfishness and inability to deal with the results of your actions shows further that you have no responsibility whatsoever, and that you really are a disgrace to humanity.

okay, i have exhausted this topic for this evening. stay tuned: more to come on the medical reasons that i am strongly opposed to abortion.
