ABORTION
=97by Daniel Joseph Min
(word count 666)
=20
ABORTION IS the willful killing of an unborn human child. The Laci =
Peterson law has made sure that everyone in America=97including =
defendant Scott Peterson=97is well-aware of this. Conversely, if a =
woman, be she rich or poor, free or bond, legal citizen or illegal =
alien, or whatever, if she really wants to have an abortion for whatever =
reason of her own choosing, then, depending upon individual =
circumstances, giving her the abortion that she wants is only fair and =
equitable, as long as it is performed by a board-certified medical =
professional. I know this is a difficult subject for the right-wing =
extremists, you know, the ones who think that they=92re taking the bible =
=93literally=94. But rather than go into verbose detail as to why the =
Law does in fact permit one and only one abortion per pregnant woman, =
I=92ll not waste space trying to debate this with gentile =93fundies=94. =
I just want to be fair and equitable. That=92s all.
While it is certainly the woman=92s prerogative to choose to have an =
abortion during her first trimester of pregnancy, the second or third =
trimester should be illegal, unless her doctors can show a judge that =
her life and health is in serious danger if the pregnancy is carried =
full-term. That way, if a woman is thinking about having an abortion, =
then she=92ll be well-motivated to have it done within her first =
trimester, since anytime after that will take a court hearing with =
doctors present.
In cases where a teenage girl has good reason to fear her parents if =
they get wind she=92s going to have an abortion, as with parents or =
step-parents who have a police record of domestic violence or other =
violent crimes, or are otherwise emotionally cruel to their children, =
then that pregnant girl should be able to make her own decision under =
the guidance and counseling of the abortion clinic, her friends, her =
priest, or anyone else who can help her to make an informed decision. =
Otherwise, the pregnant teenager must have parental consent in writing, =
signed and notarized in order to proceed with her abortion.
Ay, there =92s the rub. Any woman who has an abortion must be =
sterilized right then and there (or within a reasonably short time to be =
determined by national consensus of medical experts). And this should be =
done regardless of money, fame or power. In other words, if a daughter =
of the President of the United States gets an abortion, she getting =
sterilized for life. She can never get unsterilized, not for any reason, =
and not for any amount of money. Not matter how rich, no matter how =
poor. One abortion is all a pregnant woman gets, and only if she wants =
it. She=92ll never have another abortion because she can never get =
pregnant again=97to state the obvious.
This should make the moderate Democrats & moderate Republicans happy, =
but is bound to enrage the extremist fringes on both sides of the aisle. =
But the issue will become far less contentious if this =94one-strike and =
you=92re out=94 abortion policy should become federal law. We=92re =
allowing one abortion while preventing future pregnancies and therefore =
future abortions simultaneously. This seems most fair and equitable, and =
will discourage women from having an abortion, since women who have =
abortions most often feel that they may want to mother a child later in =
life, =93just not now=94.=20
This puts the ball squarely into the pregnant woman=92s court: =
=93Should I, or Shouldn=92t I?=94 You see, the majority of women have =
always wanted to have their pro-choice abortion policy made into federal =
law. I think we can use this =93carrot and the stick=94 to settle this =
issue permanently.
Remember, that if she decides to do the right thing, and goes =
full-term to have the child, then, unless she or else the baby's father =
is fairly wealthy, that baby will be sterilized at birth (see Min's =
Essay #1), and the mother is free two more children after this one, also =
to be sterilized at birth.
