Abortion, oh god

I do not care whether this country is pro-life or pro-choice. I don’t care weather a girl has an abortion, or gives the kid up for adoption. I don’t care whether or not fertilized egg is a human being or not.

I do care, however, about children having good homes to grow up in. So, if keeping abortion legal is a way of preventing a child from growing up in a shitty neighborhood, and probably growing up to be a shitty person –then fine.

Or, we could do it the pro-life way. Make the woman have the kid –but if she doesn’t want it, there should be some kind of highly successful national adoption program for her child. But there isn’t –or at least, if I don’t know about it, then I can guarantee that a 19 year old mother doesn’t.

What makes me mad is that, in general, people who are pro-life are those who don’t support big social safety nets. They will fight tooth and nail to make sure that baby is born, but once it out of the womb, its on its own. They’ll moralize the issue, “I don’t how I’m going to take care of this kid…” says the mother, “Well, you should have thought about that before spreading your legs.” Obviously, that helps no one. The kid is still there, and chances are it will grow up in some shitty low class neighboorhood, and if it’s a girl, maybe need an abortion herself later on.

How about a national compromise? All those in favor of pro-life should be required to pay into a nation-wide adoption program. All those in favor of pro-choice should be required to pay into a nation-wide program that helps raise children who probably would have been aborted. –Lets see if people can put their money where their mouth is.- Everybody wins –and hopefully, abortion rates will decrease.

And that’s what everybody wants –decreased rates of abortions. People should really quite bitching about this or that morality, if it is a human or not. We have debated that issue for at least 30 years now, since abortion was made legal again –and what has it solved? Nothing. These types of moral/philosophical debates have no pragmatic use. What people should debate about is how make sure kids are in situations where abortion is not necessary –or what to do to help prevent a child from growing up in a substandard environment. But that, for many people, is too concrete of an issue. It requires some sort of emotionless reasoning and research –it is much easier to just bicker about whether or not a 10 week old blob is a human or not.

So to those who think abortion is some grave moral evil –abortion was legal in the United States in the early 1800s, and is legal now. Many countries are pro-choice. And yet society is still here, -we’re not worse off as a society because abortion is legal. And to those who think abortion is some kind of inherent right –no matter what people say, that thing is still in some degree a human being. Maybe not by much, sure. But lets not act like we have no emotional involvement, even if it is simply one cell.

The goal is not to enforce this or that morality, but to make sure this is a healthy, prosperous society. That can be done with abortion or adoption.
