Abortion:"Government should neither fund, nor prohibit, ANY human reproductive decisi

Some perspectives that differ from the typical debate:

Anytime government and politics get involved it complicates the shit out of things.

I would think most young girls in trouble need a path to follow not a solution imposed on them. We often times leave the guy ( partner ) out of the conversation which in a lot of cases does extreme damage. Guys can go through some very extreme guilt complexes. Some girls and guys made a mistake and want to approach their delima together even if they can't handle a child at this time in their lives. To force a child to keep a child creates two casualties possibly three. There are solutions out there but not enough of them. We have many redundant systems out there but they operate incoherently. Remove the stigma and coordinate social networks using, government programs, planned parenthood, charities and commercial institutions along with religious institutions would work.

Pro lifers going head to head with Pro choice positioning for the moral high ground doesn't help anyone.

It's very simple.

In general, there is no other human medical procedure which the government believes it has the ability to neutralize or mandate completely and totally. Human cloning falls into this category on the basis that it is a ban on the creation of life (forced scientific sterilization). It should be alarmingly noteworthy that such a ban can be reversed at whim.

Closer to the topic, most people on either side of the debate do not realize that once the door is open, it can swing in either direction. To go from "abortion bans" to "mandatory pregnancy" isn't that large of a leap. Especially in times such as these where population numbers are falling.

On the other side of the coin, "free choice abortions for everyone" aren't that far away from forced sterilization of "undesirable" segments of society in order to "promote the general welfare". A $400 procedure (wholesale cost) to eliminate a lifetime of welfare for the individual AND all the subsequent "unwanted descendants" is cheap.

Yes, both positions are extremes. They are made intentionally so in order to illustrate that Government really has no business determining who will procreate or not for the sole purpose of being a contributor to that government's existence. (Or even how many times since mandatory pregnancy can be enforced repeatedly on certain individuals.)

Government should neither fund, nor prohibit, ANY human reproductive decision absent a specific judicial inquiry and finding regarding a specific individual. For the people to allow it to do so on a blanket basis grants the Government full authority over their reproductive abilities. Authority which can be misused without warning at any time.
