Abortion, a necessary evil?
On behalf of La Bona, I've posted this up seperately so that anyone can comment on it. - CY
I am inviting your views on ABORTION in order to present a case to help those in the developing world.
I personally see abortion as a NECESSARY EVIL and that unwanted pregnancy is not only a personal problem and it is also a very real problem for the society at large.
Do you think it is right to burden say a 15 years old school-going girl with a new life when she is yet to have any economic mean to sustain herself and obviously, most girls of her age are not mentally ready for a family life. Furthermore, is it fair to rob her of her career, aspiration, dream etc., in the name of preserving a life that is yet to be fully developed?
If you have an opinion, please email it to me at divinetalk@gmail.com or if you wish, you may post your comment here: Your Opinion Counts!
Thanks,
La Bona

Ah! A place where my opinion counts. =P
I think that the ends should not justify the means. The value one places on abortion is inversely proportional to the value that one places on life. If life is less important than economic burden, then abortion is justified. However, if abortion is justified by that reasoning, then so is the killing off of the sick, disabled and elderly who are also economic burdens.
In the latest issue of CatholicNews, in Father Ronald Rolheiser's usual column, he makes some predictions for the coming century. One of them is this:
4) Abortions will slowly decrease and will decrease to the extent that pro-life and pro-choice advocates stop demonizing each other and begin to work together in good will to minimize abortion (which, ultimately, nobody wants).
That same column also has other interesting predictions not related to this topic.
