How do you think the human race survived without abortion for millenia?
The grandparents. In "the village" the grandparents took a more active role in raising children, because they were mellower, had more time, and had more wisdom.
I have a collaborator who was raped at age 12 and became pregnant. She had the child. Her mother helped her raise the child. She is now 24 and has the most beautiful 12 year old daughter. An act of hate was turned around, and a wonderful human has been given love, and brought those around her much joy and happiness.
You present intellectual hypotheticals, yet the reality is life has so many twists and turns, that, though seemingly negative, can be catalysts for unspeakable joy, if taken on the chin.
[/QUOTE]Why yes, I suppose I do. You have a beautiful outlook on life, but I'm afraid reality isn't always that beautiful. Which is worse, do you suppose? Having an abortion or abandoning a child in a garbage can?
