that abortion is merely an extension of the American developed and sponsored eugenics movement, dressed up in Orwellian double speak.

For instance, 'irresponsibility' is changed to 'a woman's right to choose', like she didn't make a choice of her own free will better'n 99.5% of the time!!!

Ill advised, regrettable or even, not fully comphrehending the theoretical outcomes, sure! But largely a willing choice nonetheless....

The same American's/American organizations (many, long associated with Yale University) who supported the master race theories/Malthusian inspired practices of the early 20th century (George Herbert Walker Bush among them on the floor of the US House in the '60/70's speaking 'for' limiting the sexual reproduction of blacks), in the US and abroad (most notorious, but not actually most notable, Germany), helped get abortion on demand into place. Curiously, the last of official American eugenics, at least in the way of forced sterilizations of school children, purportedly of low IQ, or epileptic, or non white, or children who didn't have glasses and posted low test scores, or unwanted institutionally warehoused children, took place in a SC clinic in '72. Supposedly.

As to Malthus' theory that there is not enough food in the world to fend off mass starvation: PURE BULLSHIT. Charming bloke that Malthus. Even today, at levels of humanity that Malthus could only imagine, there is plenty of food. We, humanity, simply refuse to recognize, that greed thwarts the distribution of charitiably supplied food stuffs; that greed through the IMF and World Bank, demand that debtor nations cease saving and reproducing their own supplies of local, time tested seed stocks; that the Red Cross probably still took moneys donated for 9/11 victums to upgrade 'their" fucking phone systems; and that providing examples from your own memory and lifetime might better serve to illustrate how regularly organized greed(like big Judas') supersedes the best of intentions, of individuals not organizations.

And maybe too, you'll do some study and discover for yourself how charming were the people who supported the eugenics movement that abortion on demand, in fact, financially and pilosophically, grew out of:

"The most merciful thing a large family can do to one of its infant members is to kill it." - Margaret Sanger 1920

You should also know, that I am against government sponsorship or intervention, of any kind, involving abortion. I recognize there are medical emergencies where a young woman or husband and wife may find it necessary in the direst of circumstances related to perserving the woman's life, or involving rape, to choose an abortion.

The remainder of the time, the vast vast majority of the time since legalization, abortion of convenience is clearly murder of a human being. That tissue ain't gonna be a rutabaga people. Nonetheless, I support an individual's right to practice their free will as they see fit. It's not the government's business, although the sperm donor should have a say.

Furthermore, categorically, that fetus IS NOT strictly the woman's body. It took a man's contribution and a woman to invite him in to mix it around for that fetus to appear on the scene. The man should have to agree before any concensual conception can be aborted.

Last week, my eldest daughter reached the age of 30. My firstest love, her mother was 17 and I was barely 18. My daughters grandmother, unbeknowst to our daughter(to this day), twice made arrangements to have her aborted. Thankfully, in both instances, I was able thwart those plans. I tell you this not because I had some clearly defined ideology, anything but; rather I was the epitomy of 'young and dumb'. Some will say it was my manly pride that provoked me to intervene; to which I'd have to say you know nothing of my version of young and dumb. Despite my pronounced ignorance I understood it was going to be a human being and deserved to live. Even in my woefully inadequate condition to be a father or parent or provider, I understood this was a human being in waiting. I guess the whole abortion thing was so new, they didn't have a chance to educate that common sense out of me.

I am sorry for you who buy into the carefully designed Orwellian mythology surrounding abortion. But then, it matters little where one turns, our society is so very sorry. If only we were....
