Here's a fun topic of discussion: abortion. As fundamentalists seek to take away my rights to chose what I get to do with my body (might as well make plastic surgery illegal while at it and THEN see what happens), I get... well disgusted.
I believe it is a gross injustice to our planet to completely overlook the fact that it is overpopulated as it is. To ignore this as a fact speaks of an ignorant egocentricity that makes me uneasy for the future of the children that are already here on this planet. What about the children living in refugee camps in Africa without any parents? The ones that live in an orphanage in Brazil without any hope of adoption, nor a toy they can call their very own? The thousands apon thousands of babies with no mother or father: this is the real problem.
I agree with the point that life is a miracle, a blessing that I do not take for granted, but to attach religious agenda to our basic human rights is an injustice. These clumps of cells could eventually support that miracle of life, but at what cost? Another mouth to feed, when so many are already begging to be fed?
With our economy going down the shitter, Pro-lifers overlook the fact we have MUCH bigger problems on our hands than adding more strain on our government to support these unborn babies. When there is no more money to fund welfare, what then?
There are better things to put energy and focus in, to make this world a better place, than imposing their will on me and my sisters. That is the true crime being done.
I don't come to your house and force you to solve unfathomable mathmatic equations.
