Abortion

It totally bothers me that the US is so obsessed with abortion. While they have no qualms about using deadly force for self-defence, they don't mind bringing unwanted children into the world. Something about a "right to life".

Nevermind that the unborn child is a speculative life.
Nevermind that unwanted children contribute to the world's ills.

Paraphrasing the bumpersticker: if you can't trust a woman with a reproductive choice, how can you trust a person with a firearm?

Anyway, it seems that this fanatic hatred of abortion has led to the blocking of the word abortion from a database used by researchers. The restriction was put in place because of articles from an abortion advocacy magazine available on the site. The issue in question focused on abortion as a human rights issue and profiled abortion rights advocates around the world.

"We are disappointed," Anu Kumar, the executive director of Ipas (an international reproductive rights organization) said, "We know that 40 million abortions take place every year and nearly 20 million of them are unsafe. Women are literally dying while we're dithering about these words."

The problem is that the lives of real, living women are being harmed by a lack of access to abortion. On the other hand, some fanatics are worried about some "unborn" who may not survive term to actual life. What's wrong with this picture? I mean, why can't you pay to raise the children you bring into the world with education, housing, health care, and proper nutrition? No, it's cheaper to put them in prison.

Now, I would tend toward the opposite extreme as far as "reproductive rights" go, given that there are too many people in the world. Most of these people are idiots, in particular, the RKBA crowd. I would reinstitute the "Mississippi appendectomy" which was a clandestine hysterectomy for welfare mothers. While we're at it. We can do something similar with the criminal population and give them forced vasectomies.

Fuck, sterilise the population at large. The wrong people are breeding and the world is full of idiots.

The RKBA crowd don't want laws to protect us from unsafe guns: So, sell them exploding firearms and ammunition. Maybe the RKBA will empirically prove that David Hemenway is correct while killing themselves off. Florida is already seeing a rise in gun crime due to the lax gun laws.

Of course, illegal abortion and legal guns is the sort of screwed up logic I've come to expect from the American public.
