I would like to start off by saying a few things
1) Dibs, I've never really noticed any of your posts before today, and some of those actually made me laugh. A rare occurrence on this board!
2) I'm pro-choice. Abortion would not be my personal choice and if a woman aborts my baby I will abort her
3) The following statement(s) reflect my current view of society. These statements may change if one day 3 ghosts appear, take me back in time and show me the errors of my ways. Since that probably won't happen, we'll just stick to the fact that society makes me sick, and the government breeds it.
To be honest, the abortion debate has always been
fluffed. There are too many variables to legalize, criminalize etc. There are the standard questions - Rape, term length etc but the one that never comes up is - What if we criminalize it?
What would happen if Canada (or the USA) made it illegal to practice abortion? There would be a surge in coathanger sales and women falling down stairs. While that statement may be in bad taste, it's very true.
I know 3 different couples who have had an abortion. Im proud of 2 of them, the 3rd im upset about. 2 of the couples would have been crappy parents who raise welfare kids who feed the system of Welfare/Disability that I so much despise. I see crackheads, heroin addicts, drunks etc etc abuse the Canadian system every single day.
Some people are smart enough NOT to have kids. They were too stupid to have protected sex, but at least they aren't dumb enough to inflict a horrible life on an innocent being. Others can't be said to have the same compassion.
----------------------------------
While procreating is a basic human function available to most, it should be more like applying for a mortgage.
1) Do you *BOTH* actually desire to bear children? *(I said both to root out those crazy condom-poking women)*
2) Do you have the necessary monetary funds to provide for this child? This not only includes cash on hand, but a good job to continue to provide
3) Do you have the parenting skills to raise a good-hearted human. Dalmer's are born every day, but hopefully intelligent loving parents can curb that. If not, there's always ECT (you may know it as shock therapy)
4) The most important....If a cat could play connect four, COULD YOU BEAT IT?
If you pass this simple interview/questionnaire, you may have a child.
I would like to end my useless rant/opinion with sending a shout out to my beloved condom companies. While I no longer use them (i don't try for a child, but if it happened with me and Sarah, I'd be game) I love that they protected me from the dirty whores I've slept with in the past. (See H4)
