Cold Hearted View

My Cold Hearted View of abortion says that it is really a self curing problem. In time, the problem will go away by itself. Those women who don’t have the time and don't want to take the trouble to raise a child have an abortion. They are removing their genes from the gene pool. As time passes, only mothers who want children and are willing to take care of them will remain in the population. Therefore, slowly, the defective genes are being systematically removed from the gene pool.

As a sidebar, Rush was talking on his radio program awhile back that there have been about 40 million abortions since Roe v Wade. That makes me wonder: Could it be that the Liberals have also aborted themselves out of power? If only a small majority of the 40 million who were aborted were now alive and voting as Liberals, the Democrats would be in control of the US Presidency, the House, and the Senate!

Sorry, that is incorrect. The problem isn't a physiological genetic issue at all, it is a spiritual issue. No amount of genetic manipulation will make extinct mankind's depravity and desire to have self-gratification without consequences.

Since 1990, the number of abortions in the US is decreasing. The decrease is more dramatic in terms of the number of abortions compared to the number of women. It can be debated whether this is due to the "self-curing" effect or due to a change in attitude by society. Either way, it is a move in the right direction.

Regardless of what the law allows, if we as a society can change attitudes, we can reduce abortion.
