Abortion

Abortion is back in the news because of the Supreme Courts decision to ban late term abortions. Abortion is a medical procedure that will kill the fetus or baby almost 100% of the time, however, in rare circumstances will save the mothers life. I believe abortion is morally wrong except in extremely rare cases. In these rare cases of rape and/or incest. I believe more emphasis and education should be given to the mother to allow the child to live through adoption rather than die through abortion. When the mother’s health is at steak and/or the baby is terribly deformed and I’m not talking about a missing toe or finger, I’m talking about a missing brain or heart then abortion seems to be the appropriate procedure to choose. Only the Doctor, mother and father, and clergymen need to be involved to make that choice. I don’t think supreme court justices, lawyers, senators and congress persons should be making these decisions. If society had a more wholesome view on all life issues we would not need to ban abortion because it would seldom be used. Society has become so course that it is willing to put people to death even with the knowledge that the wrong person has often been punished through our court system. If society would be more willing to put some control on who can have or buy a gun we would be better off. War is another life issue! Look at the number that has been killed in the conflict with Iraq. When our leaders continue to allow the killing of all these people it is no wonder that life issues are not properly dealt with. Health care for mothers-to-be, affordable health care for the mother and baby at the birth, continued health care after the baby is born for both the baby and the mother. Child care while mom goes back to work, good education as the child grows up are reasonable expectations. Reasonable housing is needed as well as affordable college education so that the child can become a productive human being. Clean air and clean water are necessary for good healthy living. We need more young people and the only way to get a new generation is for the nation as a whole to make the right choices.
