J.P. Sears considers the abortion subject

Not humor, for once. I tend to agree with him. If you do not want a kid, use your brain.

Jim Seals of Seals and Crofts just recently died. They had a song "Unborn Child" that I never knew about but learned of when reading about Seals and Crofts. They recorded specifically as an anti abortion song. I recommend listening to it.

I credit Unborn Child with my shift in opinion regarding child murder (aka 'abortion'). It could have been partly due to gathering maturity. It is still, a poignant and beautiful ode to the Unborn... "Mama, stop, turn around, go back, think it over...."

This was in 1974, if memory serves and I was at Goddard College in Vermont, (as a 'townie worker') NOT as a student. Ahem. Even then, deviating from the 'narrative', would end in a screaming match. Since any opinion expressed was unlikely to change minds, I kept mostly quiet. But I did have a friend who went through with this abomination - I had no idea at the time... But later, she told me that not a day would go by that she didn't shed tears over her 'unborn child'. Not a foetus, nor a clump of cells. Her unborn child.

I should have added that I just want those Mom's to "Stop, turn around, go back and think it over." In the fullness of time there may be personal recriminations that cannot be overcome.

JP would have an abortion if he (she) was raped and got pregnant. I get his thinking but, that would be to penalize the baby for the sins of the father (depending on how dad identifies).

I can't even imagine being raped, let alone being pregnant from a rape. I do think, though, that a better way to look at it would be that a mother is rescuing an infant from a rapist father. If someone must die, it should be the rapist.

My thinking in the past was much like J.P.'s, and my political stance is much like his now. This is not because I think a pregnancy in the first couple of months is not already a human child, but because I recognize that I can't expect everyone to agree with me about that, and we need to start somewhere with a solution that can garner a consensus.

In the meantime, no one should be forced to fund or participate in an abortion.

This is what comics do. It doesn't have to be "funny."

I recommend reading through the comments on the YouTube page. Such beautiful testimony.

I think that if the 1/3rd of the country that is massively anti-abortion were to:

1) Work to, or donate to those who work to educate young men and women as to birth control alternatives AND HOW TO PROPERLY USE THEM.

2) Talk to (mostly) their daughters and make it clear to them that no, I won't kill you for getting pregnant, and I promise I won't yell at you. I will be severely disappointed, but I promise you that we will work through it either put the baby up for adoption, or raise it, or work something else out but PLEASE DON'T have an abortion.

3) Stop participating in the sexualization of the culture.

4) Stop demanding that OUR children aren't the ones having sex, it's other peoples kids. And with that talk with our own children about timing, the future, and birth control.

Then we might be still fighting over abortion, but we'd be fighting over a LOT fewer of them.

I've already made it clear to my teenage daughter that I expect her to graduate high school before having sex, because there's so much going on in her live that adding sexual relationships to it is throwing oxygen on a gasoline fire. And that after highschool a LOT of that stuff settles down or goes away.
