This thread was supoposed to have an anti-abortion theme, but it apparently has gotten hyjacked by drugs.

In his notes regarding A Scanner Darkly, Dick had this to say about drugs:

Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error in judgement. When a bunch of people begin to do it, it is a social error, a life-style. In this particular life-style the motto is "Be happy now because tomorrow you are dying," but the dying begins almost at once, and the happiness is a memory.

Who says we’re not still talking about abortion? Hard drugs and abortion-on-demand both boil down to the same thing - a coward’s way out of a serious difficulty. What I mean is this: Hard drug users are (in my personal experience) fleeing from a deep inner pain which they cannot identify, let alone alleviate; people who abort their kids are fleeing from the (supposedly) terrifying and burdensome responsibilities of parenthood.
