Xanno Moidecar,
I live in Canada.
This is the place, in my mind, that comes closest to heaven on earth. The state
spends
an absolute minimum on sustaining an armed force and instead, concentrates on
providing
a decent life style for all its residents.
My tax money goes to providing food, shelter and health services for those in
need. My
tax money also goes for providing free abortions for all. If not for this, I
would be totally content
with living here. In Canada today, one third of all pregnancies are aborted.
If ever you are given the opportunity to watch a video on an abortion being
performed, don't.
That video will haunt you for the rest of your life. The foetus' face screams
with agony during
the procedure.
Whenever I question medical professionals about abortion, the answer I get is
always the same.
They claim that once the woman has decided on an abortion, she is entitled to
the best medical
professionals available. The alternative would be for the pregnant woman to go
down a back alley
and find an old lady, dressed in black, with a coat hanger.
Given these two choices, I would prefer the woman get state guaranteed services.
This country is also one in which young people are quickly moving away from
religion. They
are more interested in a healthy debate on issues rather than to
depend on the word from,
unelected, religious figures. The demand for abortions tells us only one thing,
the religious
view that abortion is murder, is not working on the population that is of child
bearing age.
If you and me want to stop, or even reverse the tide of abortions, we have to
come up with
a reasoning/incentive that will encourage the pregnant woman to have her child.
And if we are
going to be truthful, the biggest pressure for an abortion today, is an
economical one.

BTW, I believe that one can stop a lot of abortions by helping the mother out
economically.
However, most tax payers baulk at the idea when the realize that they will have
to pay more
taxes.
