I do not want to live in a place where abortion is illegal; I want to live where abortion is unthinkable.

I want to live in a community where a woman grows into adulthood rich with choices and opportunity. Where she has freedom, security and a good education, not just about sex, but about life, relationships, responsibilities and possibilities.

I want to live in a community where a pregnant woman finds herself surrounded by people who care. She walks on safe streets; she lives in good, affordable, warm housing. She works at a good job and earns a fair wage. She drinks clean water, breathes clean air, eats nutritious food, where she has excellent, affordable health care when she or her family needs it.

I want to live in a community where she knows a child will be part of that nurturing and secure society. Where a mother’s child will get a superb education, and then look at a world full with exhilarating potential and unlimited opportunity.

When the right time comes, that women will choose life, and I want to live in a community where people choose life.

I would love to live in Utopia but let us talk about real life in our communities today. The world I live in involves rape, sodomy, grandfathers or fathers, brothers and uncles siring three and four generations of their family line. Predator’s at malls stalking young children and teenage girls.

I see young teens that are overwhelmed with life and have no support system to aid them during horrendously difficult times. In many instances, the choice is not an option. I would want my daughter, granddaughter, niece and sister to have the option to choose what to do with their body and future.

If everyone could be mother material, what a “wonderful life this would be”. Many young girls did not, nor have not, had the opportunity for choice. They are living with a decision that was forced or thrust upon them.

Legislative laws do not create morals. Morals are created in the church or places of worship, in the work place and mostly importantly in our homes. I do not see abortion as a failure of a constitutional or legislative society. I see abortion as a failure of the church, parental guidance and the failure of society as a whole for not providing full educational opportunities and protectionism of children from learning the truth and learning to be responsible adults. We ask young ladies to make adult decisions with immature minds and matured bodies. Techno- Society treats young innocent pre-teens as though they must look and act as if they are 21 years old. Society acceptance and social mores are at the baseline issue. No, legislation is not the answer. The answer to this issue is home, family and comprehensive education.
