that are devastating to the Anti-Choice agenda of the RRR Cult.
Please note: The host of this blog site's programming makes it difficult or impossible to indent. And that doesn't bode well for posting outlines, in which indentations are vital! Therefore, I have inserted asterisks (*) before each subgroup. More asterisks = deeper subgroups.
Terminology note: The term, "abortion-on-request," is employed herein because that is exactly what it IS. The more commonly-used term, "abortion on demand," may have been coined by Anti-Choicers, in an effort to imply that abortion should be hard to obtain. Thankfully, for most girls and women, it still is easy to access. It is as easy to walk into a clinic and obtain this remedy as it is to buy an over-the-counter medicine in a drug store, other than filling out some forms, in most cases.
The RRR Cultists have succeeded over the years, however, in pressuring ignorant people and fearful legislators into erecting some roadblocks that have complicated matters for teenage girls in many states. Such as requirements of parental notification or permission. Those who are responsible for having done that really need to ask themselves which option would be more likely to negatively impact a girl's future... forcing her to gestate to term, which could be devastating to countless of her future opportunities... or allowing her to easily have her full range of future opportunities restored via the remedy of abortion?
Brainwashing the ignorant is a key strategy employed by the dishonest and hateful leaders of the RRR Cult. The answer to the above question is as obvious as obtaining the answer when adding two plus two!
The worst threat to reproductive rights as 2008 dawns is the eventual fate of Roe vs. Wade. Thanks to "President" Bush's stuffing the U.S. Supreme Court with RRR cultists, we no longer have an egalitarian, personal-liberties-oriented High Court for the first time in 80 years. It is very likely that the only chance America may still have to avoid tyranny in the future is to ensure that a Democrat is elected President in November. And that the White House is not again stolen by the unscrupulous and dishonest Republican Party! Please see other articles in this blog, and in my APIFAR blog, for a greater understanding of this. Both contain detailed articles addressing these dangers. Especially in the APIFAR blog.
Here's the fact-filled outline. Please feel free to copy this entire document, and distribute it far and wide by all means at your disposal. It is not copyrighted. Nor is any other article in any of my blogs that were authored by me.
Abortion terminates entities (z/e/fs: zygotes, embryoes & Although the exact figures may be impossible to derive, the
fetuses, up until the 7th month of gestation) which have ALL
of these characteristics in common with sperm and ova:
-- Human
-- Unique
-- As a stage of development, indispensable to future birth
-- Have NEVER experienced conscious awareness^
-- Alive
...which makes it hypocritical when abortion opponents
try to defend zygotes, embryos, and fetuses (z/e/fs) but not
gametes (sperm and ova). Which comprise Stage One of the
reproductive process
^ (After the 7th month of gestation begins, conscious
awareness may be possible, but all the other of the above-
listed attributes still apply.)
And the Bible, which is the primary moral authority for the
majority of Americans:
-- In NO way condemns abortion
-- Doesn't even MENTION abortion
*-- By Jesus' day, abortion had been around for 1,000 yrs.
-- Contains NO defenses of any RPEs, as people.
*-- Reserves all of its protection for already-born people
*-- That the Bible regards personhood to begin at birth is
made clear by it's immense emphasis on the importance
of BIRTH order, BIRTHrights. and first-BORNS.
-- In certain cases, condemned babies to horrible deaths
-- Never indicates that there is anything "special" about
fertilization
*-- Thus making z/e/f and sperm & ova of EQUAL worth
Abortion-on-request enables women to:
-- Put their lives back on track immediately
-- Restore their well-being to pre-unplanned pregnancy levels
*-- The vast majority of women are happy with this decision
*-- Most women have no regrets
-- Restore their full range of future opportunities
-- Avoid physical difficulties of a 9-month pregnancy
*-- Especially important for young girls, ~12-16
-- Statistically 6-10 times safer than carrying-to-term
-- Avoid the trauma of adopting-out, and wondering later
-- Avoid possibility of changing mind about adopting-out
-- Reduce likelihood of long-term economic deprivation
-- Avoid bringing child into less-loving home
-- Avoid bringing child into unstable environment
-- Wait until timing is better before having children
*-- Who then are MORE likely to be loved
*-- Who then are MORE likely to be in stable home
**-- And thus are LESS like to have troubled childhoods
**-- And therefore more likely NOT to become criminals
*-- And thus are MORE likely to become successful
Legal abortion-on-request:
-- Is exponentially safer than illegal abortions
*-- Thus saving the lives of hundreds or thousands of women/yr.
-- Has been available throughout the USA since early 1973
*-- Between 1973 and 2008, 33 million women have had them
*-- Between 1973 and 2008, 45 million abortions have been done
Other related facts include:
-- MOST women who have abortions go on to HAVE kids later,
when the timing is better
*-- Those children would NOT have been born if the abortions
had not taken place earlier, because the same gametes
would not have matched up.
**-- Those "2nd-round" kids STARTED reaching age 13 in
significant numbers by 1988. By the early 1990s,
millionsof those "2nd-round" kids were in their
mid-teens by the early 1990s.
**-- Mid-teens is the highest risk age for crime, and
this continues into the early 20s.
***-- As pointed out above, wanted and loved children
are LESS prone to criminal behavior.
**-- By 1995, millions of "2nd-round kids" were entering
the workforce. Perhaps a million-plus MORE have entered it
every year SINCE. By 2000, the oldest ones had reached
the age where they could be getting quite successful.
***-- Since the early 1990s, the rate of violent crime in the USA
has declined dramatically, and by 2000 was at 40-year
lows in many categories.
***-- The decade of the 1990s, and the 21st century to date,
in the USA, has been the most economically-dynamic
period of time for any nation in the entire history of the
world. Except for the 1990s. The Clinton years.
Which were even better. GW Bush has done grievous
damage to the nation.
probability that abortion-on-request has substantially benefitted all of American society in terms of the crime rate and the economy is quite strong, despite the temporary anomaly caused by the attack on Sept. 11, 2001, and subsequent problems caused by the thieving rip-offs to consumers by Big Oil, and by the criminal impact of sub-prime loans to the housing market. Like the Energizer Bunny, American consumers just keep right on buying! And that counts for 2/3 of the entire U.S. economy. And a strong U.S. economy benefits the entire world.
Update on the economy, as of March 30, 2008: America has surely entered a recession in recent weeks (despite Bush's failure to acknowledge that). But this has come about as a result of factors that overwhelmed all beneficial ones mentioned above, thanks to the greed and mismanagement that led the nation into the sub-prime mortgage crisis. More than 2 million houses face foreclosure during the rest of 2008, and this recession is expected to last until at least 2010. IF consumers stop buying in droves, that could lead to an acual depression. All of these new developments have happened in spite of the benefits that have been derived from abortion-on-request. And might have ultimately become even more serious if we hadn't been spared from forced gestation over the last 34 years.
