The problem with the abortion discussion is that passion blinds one to real discussion, often labeling those presenting views neither pro or con as defenders of the other side (whichever side that may be).

I do not see any devotee here as killing the unborn, nor do I see the abortion industry's spokespersons, who are really from the Margaret Sanger/Dr Joseph Mengele/BF Skinner view of life.

What I do see is a statement that one cannot prevent abortion, this has always been with us, the gruesome industry is the fearful problem (which also wants living post-birth matter for their cannibalistic science.)

What I favor is a government that is responsible for it's citizens, and as we are the government, we have this responsibility. Stop Abortion. Easy, just dont do it, do not recommend it, but most importantly, offer viable alternative. This means that a parent must say, screw the dad, you and your child may live here, we will take care of your child while you finish you school, or whatever.

It is overburdening to think of taxes being wasted on unwed mothers, but you rightists must admit that to deny this exemption to your greedy desire to have all that you earn for your own, then you cannot have it the other way, to save the fetus only and screw the child (and mother).

My point in speaking on this subject is to not fire the useless arguements between pro abortion and anti choice antagonists, this is a discussion about the choices of one with a child in the womb and the ones who must try to inform the world about the meaning of life, where it begins, what is the value of the human form, etc.

Rhetoric of both sides of the blind issue bores me to death because neither makes sense, nor does it make much sense to try to frame devotees who discuss this issue to be on any other side than that of reality.

To favor abortion rights & be against capital punishment means ONE THING: PRO DEATH.
Support the murderer. Poor guy. He had a tough life. So he had to take someone else's. Give him a break. So he can do it again.
Or send him to school: to study obstetrics. He'll know what to do.
Dovetail. Hawktail. Saline solution. Forceps. Suction. Silent scream.
To be against abortion & favor capital punishment means ONE THING: PRO LIFE
Give every conceived child a chance to exit naturally, grow & become God conscious. Is that so hard to comprehend & follow?
Don't worry, JRdd. Does Darwin sound like a devotee name to you?
Does Jagat mean "of this world" or "of the next"?
Were the Pandavas in the majority?
Is Kaliyuga becoming nastier by the nanusecond?

JRdd' Yes it is depressing to find that devotees are thinking that this right to a human form is something that they have the right to decide upon,for others.

My childhood life is one of millions that could be used as one of their examples.Unwanted, poor, neglected.These folks would have had me aborted "for my own good".

What they could not see were the subtle lessons I was learning through that school of hard knocks.

Or the fact that this form went on to be in the same room with Srila Prabhupada's.These ears heard his voice.I have had his remnants of foodstuff.My hands have held his books,these eyes that they would have denied me have seen his form and the forms of the Lord that he installed.This brain, though not capable, has been put to work trying to understand the truth he brought.

Just see how these do-gooders[in their own eyes] would have robbed me,or allowed others to,"for my own good".

Its just not our decision to make boys.Best we little humanoids stay in our place, and not play god.

This discussion is too depressing for me to even participate in. That devotees could be considering it acceptable to murder the unborn child, including inferring that race of the baby may justify such, is just mind-blowing to me. I applaud your steadfastness, Maitreya. (And whoever else is defending life; I haven't read the latest here.)

Make abortion illegal.Kill all those that perform it after that.

That will take care of 99% of it.


There is no reason you can't act to improve the quality of life simultaneously with stopping abortions.

Should all anti-murder laws be abandoned because some won't follow them?

The quality of life issue was raised by the Nazi's in the 20's.Their view was all disabled, blind should be killed as an act of kindness.Do the sick and aged have a good "quality of life".Krishna das Kaviraja comes to mind.

Where do you gods plan to stop in deciding who gets a human form and who doesn't.Do you realize you are accepting Margaret Sanger as your siksa guru?

My point is that you CAN'T stop it directly. It will go on in the back alleys with unqualified persons in unhygienic conditions. There will be a demand because there will always be unwanted children.

But I am with Vishvatma and Darwin on this one. As a matter of fact, Darwin expressed very well the basic problem. In this case, abortion is the LESSER of several evils.

Thank you, Jagat, for standing up for the ordinary Indian woman. As most of them in India are still deliberately kept illiterate to keep them in ignorance of their plight, it falls on those of us who have had such insights to share them with those who have not.

I have been married to a woman who grew up in such a simple Indian background for nearly 2 decades and have met many others through this connection. No one here can even imagine the hardship they go through. Their story remains to be told. Just watch the movie 'Bandit Queen' for a glimpse. One day all those men who sanctimoniously judge the morality of these women will be shamed when they see what suffering they have been causing. I ceased to care about the morality of abortion when I heard the hardship of my wife and her mother's lives.

I am also a supporter of that controversial Australian philosopher, Peter Singer.
Read his 'Rethinking Life and Death'.

Thank you mahaksadasa, Jagat, Maitreya, priestess, Tarun Krsnadas, BB and everyone for the nice istagosthi.


A real anti abortionist stands up for children's rights to get enough to eat, to get to see a doctor when they are sick, to have warm clothes and a decent pair of shoes to go to school in, to have a place to live with proper heating and a decent society to grow up in so their mother wants to bring them into this world.

All a phony "anti abortionists" can do is say something like "but we just don't want do it like that", and instead argue for a cold, cruel darwinian society where children are to left suffer, go hungry, cry themselves to sleep at night and then they have the indecency to be against nonviolent forms of birth control to prevent abortion.

Abortions were only estimated in 1973. There was no real knowledge of how many were done. The American population also increased by 50% in that time period.


Jagat,

I think you miss the point entirely.I took the 40 million from the same site that darwin refered to.

If it is 30 million or 50 million or 40 million or 10 million don't you see the horror of it?

It is mass murder in progress.

You stop it by stopping it.Directly.

The classic question people ask "Would you have shot Hitler if you had a chance, knowing what you know todat of what he would do." "Oh, yes of course, most of us reply."

Hitler was small time compared to this murder industry.

He just made more noise.

40 MILLION abortions in the U.S. since 1973

40 MILLION abortions in the U.S. since 1973

40 MILLION abortions in the U.S. since 1973

Holocaust means widespread destruction.

We are in the midst of a holocaust in terms of abortion, and darwin wants to pass out more condoms and other birth control devices.

darwin, you are missing a link on this one.

How many murdered in the womb,in the U.S. since 1973?

40 MILLION

That is such a cowardly, disgusting thing to say. You want to drag people, pleading for their life, into the death chamber, but you won't even come out in favor of making birth control freely available and making this country a decent place to raise kids. You don't give a damn about preventing abortion. The average abortion doctor cares more about preventing abortion than you do.

Same source I used.
This is 2000 though darwin, mahaksa das said eight years and the context was since Clinton Gore took office.

So from 1992 to 1996 there was about a 7% drop.I don't call that drastic.Although even 1 is good.

1995 to 1996 it started to rise back up.

I don't have figures for the last four years, but I hear it quoted at over 1,500,000.It may be more it may be less.

But either way there is no DRASTIC reduction.It really is about flat.

Anyway it should be illegal and carry the death penalty for offenders.

darwin looked for anti abortionists not against nonviolent birth control to prevent abortion and couldn't find them. The only people he found with basic human decency, who were against all forms of murder, were catholics.

The anti abortion priest darwin mentioned in an earlier post is vegetarian. He seemed to spend most of his time in jail. A columnist for the Boston Globe said that the jail should force him to eat hamburgers. He was against all forms of murder, including capital punishment.
