The Pros





Pro-Life, Pro-Choice, and just plain  Pro-extreme. Of late, these seem to be the preferred opinion battle choices of America's abortion debate other than, like myself, complete Pro-ignorance.
I, as an older white male of our species, with no life mate, no natural born kids, and no particular religious affiliation, unappologetically opted out of what I viewed as other peoples concerns. Some very close to me now are forcing my need to pay attention and it is for the love of them, I suppose I should seek some greater truths.
My limited understanding of the two main views are that those espousing Pro-life are ultimately holding embryo's as imbedded autonomous beings, from conception, inside the mother's womb and my understanding of Pro-choice is that embryo's are to be considered formative tissues of a woman without independent life consideration and justifiably dispensible up to a certain standard of time and sentiant consciousness.
There seem a great many honorable and highly motivated participants on both sides of this matter as to what is or is not accepted to be life and encompassing far more than just the simple science or suggested sacred natures of it.
I personally love a kids mind much more than most adults in the world and am happy all the ones Ive met were born. I have in my long travels to wisdom, as a youth treatment center supervisor, also come to know the often tumultuous lives of some young unattached women. Women with options of existence, both prior to and sadly beyond treatment, so depressing that opting out of existing seemed preferable to bringing another life into it. Therein lies my personal frustration. Love and pity for both sides and a distain for the politically motivated extremists in each hard direction.
Woman should certainly be at the vanguard of all consideration, yet active participation in proliferation of the population (or not), must allow for responsible men to also attest, in at least an advisory capacity, as well.
The pro-extremest views of one extreme of offing kids outside the womb or the others, basically offing physicians lives, through incarceration, for keeping mothers from offing themselves. Each extreme seems to have done more for setting both sides further into the graveyard than resurrecting any justice from her limited consensus tomb. Soon the far left will allow for the disposal of there politically unacceptible teens and the far right arresting and incarcerating any wasteful spark of life's discharge from any unrighteous, unsanctioned male genitalia.
Let us hope wiser minds prevail and people will choose to have kids when they want to and know better how not to have them quicker when kids are not part of the plan.
In closing and with just my, less informed but still valid male opinion, Hell yes! special accommodation should be made for horrific circumstance beyond a womans control. Rape, Incest, Threat to life, my brain and heart speak it to me so.
May all who make what final legalities stand, do so with as much love, respect and mercy available to those who will feel lost and vanquished, for it has been a long and bloody war.
