Why I became the REAL Pro-Choice...Pro-Eugenics, page 6

My posts last night were at the end of a twelve hour day in the office and probably inappropriate.

Even though I am a person of Faith, my views on this topic are based in logic.

From the moment the sperm meets egg all of the components of the growing Human are present. Nobody can say, even if it is known the child will be born handicapped, what that child's life will be like and what importance that life may have to society or our futures.

It does not matter who the Father or Mother are, or how the pregnancy came about; we are talking about a separate individual who should have the same rights as you or me.

I see no difference between the woman who dumps a living breathing child into a dumpster and someone who has an abortion at any point in the pregnancy.

Even though I feel it is in fact murder, I also recognize that it is based on an aspect of morality. Due to that I fall partially into the Pro-Choice camp.

Government should have zero involvement in this issue unless they are willing to write laws making it what it is; which is murder. If not, they should have no involvement in the funding of or the support of Abortion in any way or manner.

If our Government believes it is not a criminal matter then by what logic should they be involved and how could they justify funding anything to do with it?

As far as Eugenics goes, if for no other reason than the fact most people find it unpalatable; the very idea of it should be shunned by society. It is no different than radical Islamist's concept that non-Muslims are less than human or the Nazi's concept of a Supreme Race.

Of what value are the less than perfect in our society?
