This is the third in a series of articles dealing with what is not right in America in our humble opinions. We are calling it in fact WRONG in that it is not beneficial for the country as a whole. These articles are not presented in any particular order of importance but merely as they might be timely.
It is a sad commentary when the President of our country celebrates the 39th anniversary of the Supreme Courts decision in 1973 to legalize abortion, the infamous Roe vs. Wade decision. This law is falsely heralded as a victory for women’s rights to choose! It is estimated that between 15 and 20 million abortions have taken place since then. The exact number is not important, but what is important to our way of thinking is the incorrect reason for this law. It is NOT to give women the right to choose but instead to give women a means to correct a prior mistake.
Had a woman not gotten pregnant in the first place, an abortion would not have been needed. And how did she get pregnant? By spreading her legs and having sex! Those of us understanding how a woman gets pregnant should not have to explain anything more on that subject. The abortion law is nothing else, it’s that simple.
Again, this deceitful way of stating something falsely, i.e. calling abortion a women’s choice is a part of what’s wrong in America. To add insult to injury, the people who oppose abortion are being ridiculed by the opposite side, being called terrible names and belittled. And that is definitely wrong! At the same time, we are being lectured that actions (even just words) have consequences. We ask: Is abortion not a consequence of an action taken place prior to it?
To us here at Common Sense University, the strongest argument against abortion just could be stated in two words: STEVE JOBS. As we know, Steve was not aborted by his birth mother but given up for adoption and we all know what he contributed to the world. This brings us to the next question: How many geniuses like Steve Jobs were aborted as a result of ‘a woman’s right to choose’? We will, unfortunately, never know. How many doctors, scientists, chemists or pioneers of new discoveries in medicine and other fields were killed by way of abortion?
When one considers the available ways for a woman to protect herself from becoming pregnant, we can only condemn the lackadaisical attitude women have when it comes to this. There are exceptions to our argument, things such as rape, incest and also the health of the mother could easily be excerpted and dealt with by passing appropriate laws but we do not need a Roe versus Wade pro- abortion law. We believe it is shameful that we do have such a law.
