In places like Africa and India populations are soaring, but there's no reason for Canadians to abort their kids, since we actually shrink without immigration. The wealthier people are, the less they tend to breed, so the end of global poverty will greatly slow population growth. But alas, the West has an agenda, of course.Quote:

And, we're rapidly turning in to a globalized world, where even if the United States is the richest country in the world and our population keeps booming and booming, our citizens are depleting resources SOMEWHERE, if not here.
abortion: it's no different than beef.
To start off, allow me to explain how the spirit of the hunt is correlated with abortions.
The spirit of the hunt is to honor the hunted, and treat them as if they were direct family members. you would not let a family member's body go to waste, when you needed to eat their flesh.
the idea is that if stem cells can still benefit humanity, than an aborted fetus is a buffalo and we MUST use all parts of the buffalo for the community. an aborted human child, i would think, would be stressed even more greatly that we do not let their life go to waste.
Stem cells could assist cancer patients, quadriplegics, diabetics, osteoporosis patients, AIDS patients, and who knows what else!
For all we KNOW, they could assist sex change patients in their transition.
I am pro choice, but anti-anti-stem cell research.
NO: we cannot simply sacrifice fetuses for the sake of research, HOWEVER we CAN NOT just throw those who ARE aborted, in the trash! THAT IS A DISRESPECT FOR LIFE ITSELF!
Abortions are going to happen weather it's legal or not, either by intent, or by accident. throwing away the aborted child is only an added insult to injury.
Research stem cells, allow women the choice of child bearing, and those who choose to abort their pregnancy should be allowed, so long as their aborted fetus is used for medicine and not just discarded and put to waste.
Where would we be as a people if the mothers of Jesus, Budah or any other great spiritual leader went and got an abortion?
What if we inadvertantly killed the zygoat that was ment to reawaken the human mind or cure cancer or aids?
You play with fire you get burnt. There are many childless couples that would love to raise a child ( like myself and my wife) and get sick when we hear of abortion.
Abortion is the rape of a humans potential greatness.
Who knows maybe someone could have grown up to creat the next super duper skunk strain. but oh well he/she is fertilizer in the land fill.
Given a choice between a woman having an abortion or bringing an unwanted and often resented child into this world then I have to be for abortion.
The rule should be that if a woman has two abortions in her lifetime (discounting abortions on the grounds of health or rape) then she should be sterilised. The same should apply to blokes who get women pregnant without regard for the consequences.
There is a much greater chance that an unwanted child will turn out to be a mass murderer, than a great leader, scientist, or teacher.Quote:

forced sterilization seems a tad extreme...that's like forcing nosepickers to get their fingers amputated
how about first abortion $300, second abortion $3,000, third abortion $30,000?
Tax payers would have to foot the bill...Quote:

HO!
It would certainly make some women and men take contraception a bit more seriously.Quote:
