Response To Jim (Gloria's Politics)

Abortion? Sir if you take a good look around, there are more unwanted children now than ever before. I watch young women keep their pregnancy, bring the child into the world, and that child suffers. Get past the subject matter long enough to understand exactly what you are saying. It is not about murder. it is about bringing another unwanted child into the world for a slow death. I cherish every child I have because I got married first, planned my children and raised them. Sir, that was 30 years ago. Today, take a good look around. There are more people in the foodstamp line than ever before.You and many others have the wrong thought on abortion. No I do not believe in murder nor do I believe in a slow death. Abortion is not truly not about murder. How many people are raising children today from an unplanned pregnancy? It has become a serious nationwide problem and concern for all of us. Abortion, is not a decision that one is thrilled about. However, it should be an option for women. When a man comments on abortion, I have to ask, "How many unwanted pregnancy's did you have?" How many children did you give birth to and raise alone on foodstamps in a rough neighborhood because it is cheaper? Abortion is not murder, It could be a solution to end child abuse, negligence etc.... Or do you want more over population with resentful people raising children that our government can no longer afford? yes it is sad that the world had to come to that, but wake up and into reality. Look around, there are more and more men that are "Choosing" not to stand by their pregnant girlfriend and assist in parenting that child. Do you realize abortion is not an easy decision? Do you realize what you are saying? The issue on abortion has gone on and on. The bottom line is, abortion should be a legalized option.
