About Abortion
|

|
| I seek true Resolution.
This is for those who in life, aspire for more than
simple consumption and procreation. |
|
| Each of us has individual
paradigm's, and all of these finite beliefs manifest
in our systems of interconnectivity. These are votes
for what the truth about our reality should be;
what society shall permit. The establishment of
truth is based in individual Weltanschauungs. The
hashing of workable social ethics can be accomplished
many ways depending on the type of ethics involved.
I believe the ethics behind the issue of abortion
permeate the means of resolving the debate. For
social justice to be solidly based in a resolved
state, the bifurcated pundits of solutions need
to conjoin. People need an understood agreement
of maintainable social truth and justice. We could
drug one side of the argument happy, or win the
argument through a simple majority vote, but this
does not solve the issue. A defined and mapped social
argument of moral and ethical exploration, |
|
|
| relevancy and advocacy
is necessary to satisfy the difficult challenge
of intellectual resolution. To accomplish this soundly
is a serious undertaking, requiring honest explanations
of intentions, ethics, and desired nature of a resolved
social structure. |
|
| Treating abortion as a
contained issue negates all the motivating factors
for those involved, it is holistic. The very factors
that frame and referentially appraise the morality
of abortion, give cause to the tricky situations
that real people face. To ignore the systemic causes
and battle over symptomatic treatment methods is
to choose a war of superior knowledge rather than
attempt a real resolution of such. Though idealism
allows abortion to be black and white, we live in
gray times, times that call for gray answers. The
social and economic factors of life do change how
the question of abortion is felt and justified by
many; this will change, as society actualizes our
better ideals, ideals that we should all be able
to contribute to. |

I do know, that until we can take care of
the children already born, the 6.2
billion people on this planet, one child born may feel loved
and wanted, while
many may be left to die, like the millions we leave to tragic
lives every year.

|
| Personal affirmations
validate and establish meaning and purpose in people's
lives. This is good when it is, but it also creates
the largest inhibitor of a resolution, the individual's
egoistic grounding. Of course, everyone believes
they are right, and if everyone else could just
'see what they see', life would be good. Still,
no one proffers his or her idiolect foundation conferment
to a social construction-crew; it's akin to peeking
in Pandora's box. Very few people trust their neighbors,
not leaving personal possessions outside, much less
confer to them assistance with their personal beliefs.
Knowing that people are separated, a mapping of
the people and reasons involved for their position
on abortion will truly help illuminate who is offering
what, and why. These individual goals of how people
moralize abortion can provide better understandings
of what abortion means. Groups can be found and
illustrated, varied and diverse understandings,
laid out with knowledge of other arguments. The
simple blanket answers to this situation, that jerry-build
the home and foundation of the American way, will
be revealed. Resorting to battles of name-calling,
nit picking, and worst of all, physical violence
or intimidation will be stymied as people realize
that these naive approaches perpetuate troubles
and ignorance. We will see that all de facto crusades
connotatively convey |
|
|
| actualized omniscience
and without a satisfactory translation, meaning
resolution, these crusades will not absolve all
cognizable arguments. |
|
| I seek resolution, what
is your desired end? I personally believe that Abortion
should be a rare and limited use procedure. I hope
we can evolve to the point where as a people we
are strong honest folks, who have created a supportive
system for everyone involved, thus making the decision
to continue with a pregnancy less about money or
hardship, and more about the opportunity to share
the world with a new person. To accomplish a citizenry
homogenous enough in belief for this to happen means
answering some historically argued and fractioning
questions. It also means eliminating the cracks
that people fall through. We vote for the cracks
by supporting companies, politics, and even the
outdated political process that allows destitution.
A society of winners and losers will always be wrought
with complications and troubles. I do know, that
until we can take care of the children already born,
the 6.2 billion people on this planet, one child
born may feel loved and wanted, while many may be
left to die, like the millions we leave to tragic
lives every year. If every child is important, help
make this manifest, do not allow any person anywhere
to be denied a decent life. |

Abortions are not inherently good;
they are the result of an unjust society.
|
|
| Once we can and do take
good care of all people, only then can we answer
the questions that will referentiate our accepted
social ethic. At that time, everyone will know that
our society does care about all of us; that we as
a people, as humans, care about all of us, not just
the cute moldable ones. Gender roles can then be
figured, articulated, argued, as much as gender
makes a difference. Systems of support and growth
development can be instituted for all. Pregnancy
should not mean the end of peoples opportunities
for self-development, it should not mean the loss
of the parents life just to support a child, a child
who might fall into the same downward spiral. It
will mean that people will have the resources to
avoid most of the situations that contribute to
people wanting abortions today. Abortions are not
inherently good; they are the result of an unjust
society. |
|
| I
leave you with some questions to consider:
Is sexual intercourse permissible for any purpose
other than procreation? If yes, is their any recompense
for failed birth control? If no, do individuals
have a duty to ensure that the |
|
|
| children they produce
do not over tax the sustainable resources of the
planet, societies, and a respectable amount of liberty
and freedom for all others? Does coitus necessarily
establish a hosting contract of symbiotic gestational
duty? If yes, is a paternalistic society justifiable?
If no, at what point can a woman choose to quit
hosting a human en-process? Should quality of life
be a factor in the decision to allow more people
to be born? Do we have an obligation to voluntarily
limit the population of the earth? Should women
have the reserved right to decide their symbiotic
role? Can society rightfully intercede specific
birth quantities to women/families? Should the right
of the unborn forming human supersede that of the
existing woman? In all cases; including rape, incest,
and imminent health dangers to the woman? Is lack
of population control, causing extreme competition
of resources, energy liberty and justice, a just
cause for abortion? A cause for change in what kind
of society we are? |
