People have real nerves telling someone how to treat their own bodies...make suggestions, yes, but never demands.
I agree that Sasori should find a different profession...one that better suits him. Those people need help and guidance and teachings...not anger, belittling and resentment. IMO, we need to focus on the bigger picture and its not abortions...its the pregnancies. We should try to find ways to better educate Black people on being responsible. We should also teach them how to be parents capable of creating intelligent and positive children. |

Should they be banned altogether? No. The reasons have been stated (rape, incest, deformity, health risks) why I say no. However:
Should abortion be used as a means of birth control? Absolutely not. I agree. We need to make better choices. Some of us easily say "oh, the condom broke, don't worry, if anything happens, I can take care of it." Or even worse, the BROTHA decides he's not ready to play "daddy" so he pays for his girl to "get it fixed" or orders her to, threatening her. Then she's faced with having a baby that's at least partially unwanted and/or being alone and struggling. We say "she can always give the baby up for adoption" but the numbers prove that black and brown babies suffer in the foster care system. It always amazes me that people can travel halfway around the world to adopt a "needy" child, but are unable to even see the black and brown children in their own cities.

Abortion should be left up to the woman. We may not agree w/ it personally, which is why you do what you have to do, and so goes the same for the other person. If you don't agree with abortion, then your going to take care of whats yours no matter what. For someone else, it may not be the right time for them to have a baby, so they choose abortion.

Abortion has to be the woman's choice. We cannot determine who or why someone shouldnt have an abortion, when we aren't walking a day in their shoes. I had a D&C 14 years ago after a miscarriage, so i also agree that those stats aren't showing a true reflection on abortions.
Sasori - You sound like a cold and heartless person. I dont understand you're hatred for those people who you talked about. You need to find the 'human' in you again and maybe, you'll have some sympathy for them. LOVE

The very same God that allows Satan to roam freely to KILL. So, whats yer point? Although you state that you are "open" to the differing or opposing views of the bros. and sistas here, you vehemently and consistently have disparaged and berated them for their views. That is called being JUDGMENTAL. It is what it is. Abortions have been performed since time immortal, and like giving birth, will continue on. I understand your frustration though because I, too, share it. Like others here, my position is that of SOME women, regardless of age, are just plain lazy. They will have sexcapades, yet refuse to use SOME form of birth control, adopt a a "que, sera, sera" (Whatever will be, will be) mentality and will NOT take responsibility for their sexual behavior. Sure, we can blame the MALE for the emotional trauma that many women experience in aborting, but blame is not where the focus should lie. For no matter how many "educators" may implore males to buckle up stud? The PERCEPTION remains that as women that we ARE responsible for OUR bodies. And if we are all REALLY being honest here, we ALL know someone with a mentality like this, "Oh I can always flush it down the tubes." Wrong! But that is just SAMOON'S opinion, I do not and I will not thrust my opinion on anyone's throat. Like you, I have seen the horrendous side of aborting a fetus as well. And the birth rate for black women HAS lessened over scores of years now. Personally, I want to see our race continue to populate and not have our women feed into the abortion clinics that are strategically placed in the urban arena and low-socio economic areas. Just another reason why I detest Ted Turner and Margaret Sanger (and may that bitch burn in hell for attempting genocide of black babies!), both proponents of Eugenics. Funny....the "Morals Squad" will take a defensive position on aborting, but how many of these "other" ethnicities, including the men marching around carrying placards will ADOPT a BLACK infant? I surmise that is when "morality" exits---->right. Yet will advocate capital punishment, etc. This is a paradox in it's truest sense. The white populace IS decreasing (for the Latin and Asian groups WILL surpass them in numbers for the forth-coming years) and why many white cave-men"are more than ever, actually opposing abortion in addition to garnering more power and money. And, as I stated in another commentary, why white cave-women are being PAID now to bear children. Bottom line? At the end of the day? Each woman has to answer to herself and her own god. So be it.

There's is reason for it all and I believe that it should be your choice whether you want to bring a child into this world or not....that being said,
I think there should be a limit to the amount one person can get, whether it's certain number per lifetime or in a single year. No one person should have more than *lets say 10 on the "record"* I mean damnit if you don't want to have kids stop doing everything TO GET PREGNANT! Birth contorl, not having sex SOMETHING not just when it's inconvinent kill it. Abortion should never be banned and the state nor CHURCH should have any say in personal matters, but we need to take long hard looks on how many of our unborn seeds who's lives we are ending because WE AREN'T READY. Adoption is a choice as well as just developing love BEFORE DURING AND AFTER LAYING DOWN WITH SOME ONE. Lets just think before we act MEN AND WOMEN (BLACK MEN AND BLACK WOMEN)
