ABORTION PERSPECTIVE & RECONCILATION
7/24/99

The popular definition of “abortion” is that it is the termination of a pregnancy, which, obviously, results in the “prevention of life”.

In an effort at eliminating a discussion as to the definition of “life”, herein, we will substitute “one-month-old babies” for the concept of “life”. Therefore, the result of an “abortion” is the prevention of “one-month-old babies”.

In the context of “one-month-old babies”, what is the difference between aborting one second after conception or one second prior, since in both instances, one is preventing “one-month-old babies”? If we abstain or use some other form of birth control, we are preventing any possibility of “one-month-old babies”.

The creation of “one-month-old babies” can be viewed as a process, which begins with the ability of a male and a female to engage in sexual activity and which, sometimes, ends in the creation of “one-month-old babies”. This process may be ended, terminated, truncated, aborted at any point during that process.

The methods vary from deciding not to engage in such activity, the use of contraceptives, and the employment of physical and/or chemical efforts.

Each method prevents any possibility of “one-month-old babies”.

FURTHER:

The next step is to consider the concept of how many one-month-old babies a family, a nation, or the world should produce.

The “tool” to utilize in contemplation of the answer lies between our ears.

There are many who argue against terminating the possibility of one-month-old babies.

If the goal were to maximize the number of OMO babies, their argument appears
to be consistent with not wanting to terminate the possibility of OMO babies.

Is that goal rational?

In 1940, there were two billion humans occupying this planet, now there are seven billion.

How many can be sustained with a decent quality of existence?

Will we, collectively, employ that “tool”, before it is too late?

Perhaps it is already too late, keeping in mind Newton’s Third Law of Motion; Objects in motion tend to remain in motion.

Those who decry termination have produced how many OMO babies?

Food for thought.
