Barb & Diane - Should the 64% of Women Who Feel Pressured to Abort, Just WANT Their Abortions?

Dear Senators Boxer and Feinstein,

You say something to the effect that abortion is such an important "right" that nothing must be allowed to interfere with it or threaten it.

Not even the "inconvenient" fact that sixty-four percent (64%) of women in a 217 member population sample "felt pressured by others" to get abortions.

Since you feel that we shouldn't be discussing topics that work against universal abortion, like forced abortion in China, what would you suggest?

What solution would you suggest to the problem of these 64% of aborting women who are feeling forced, not by the government of China, but by their own boyfriends and parents?

Obviously, your lack of support for them must place you among the ranks of controllers of "populations we don't want to have too many of".

Presumably this means people of modest socioeconomic status, heavily represented by the dark-skinned and migrants.

Would your solution possibly involve thought reform, so that those 64% of uncooperative women just come to actually WANT the abortions they feel forced into?

Please let us know how we should be thinking about this, to be good citizens of the new America.

"In view of the large families of the Slav native population, it could only suit us if girls and women there [Poland and Russia] had as many abortions as possible. Active trade in contraceptives ought to actually be encouraged in the Eastern territories, as we could not possibly have the slightest interest in increasing the non-German population.  …  We must use every means to instill in the population the idea that it is harmful to have several children, the expenses that they cause and the dangerous effect on woman's health.  …  It will be necessary to open special institutions for abortions ['clinics'] and doctors must be able to help out there in case there is any question of this being a breach of their professional ethics."

"In order to resolve such an ethical dilemma(abortion), the guiding principle is this: one is morally permitted to take such a life once you can demonstrate with moral certainty that the life is not human. It is a concept that can be exemplified by the situation faced by a hunter when he sees a bush shaking. He may sincerely believe that it is a deer in the bush, but if he kills it prior to determining with certainty what it is that he is killing, he will be morally responsible (as well as legally) if he has in fact killed the farmer’s cow, or worse yet, the farmer.

As we can see, two deeply held, but opposing viewpoints need not be resolved unless someone intends to act upon them. Then, the one who intends to take the action resulting in the death of the disputed entity must not do so unless they can first show with moral certainty that their perception of its moral worth is irrefutable. Those who would not disturb the normal progression of its life bear no such burden. It’s my contention that such proof does not exist, and deliberate fetal destruction for scientific purposes should not proceed until it does."
