Lines: 41 For those who are interested, in China today, abortion IS an accepted method of birth control. First, chinese families are now restricted to one child each. This is true. The one child cannot be concieved without state approval. This is true. A family must apply for approval before the woman may become pregnant. This is true. IF the woman becomes pregnant without state approval, she may be coerced into having an abortion. The pressure is in the form of losing one's job and all forms of state support. Records are kept on every woman by the local communist party leader and the women are watched very closely. The system is not popular as the Chinese love children just as much as any culture, perhaps even more. Forced abortion by the government is very unpopular among the populace. They too do not agree with this method of birth control, but what do you do if your livelyhood is going to be cut off? Is this the next step here in our culture? In my opinion, some of the women who have been advocating unlimited abortion on this net are nothing more than selfish, self-centered, snot-nosed bitches. They all have well paid jobs. Their partners most likely have the same. Their only aim in life seems to be self gratification and to hell with anything that gets in their way. Their concern isn't for the poor or disadvantaged. They only want abortion to be available to them so that they can continue to pursue hedonistic impulses. Responsibility is a dirty word in their vocabulary. Love of life is only a phrase that pertains to them and their narcistic attitudes. You women know who you are. Don't bother to get up on your hobby horses and lecture about rape and incest. The abortions attributed to these two categories is miniscule and the numbers support this. You women know damn well that the only reason you support abortion is so you can use it as a birth control method. This is WRONG. As for the men who will undoubtably reply to this article, stick your terminal up your nose. Abortion for birth control is murder, plain and simple. All of those arguments about what or who is alive or human are nothing more than a bunch of claptrap. 1.5 million deaths a year is sick. T. C. Wheeler
