BIBLIOGRAPHY
INTRODUCTION
W
hat a difficult subject. A
real hot potato. Peoples’ perspectives on this matter differ significantly. If you ask a hundred people their opinion on abortion, you could easily get a hundred different answers. Are you right or wrong, to hold the view you have? Perhaps there is no right or wrong in this matter. One thing I do repeat throughout this book, is that it is a woman’s choice.
I once read that philosophy is supposed to help people think a bit deeper. I hope this book does that. Philo
means friend, and sophy
means knowledge. I hope this book imparts some new knowledge to the reader.
Before I went to Waikato University to embark upon a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in philosophy, I never knew that philosophy had anything to do with morals. In fact, I didn’t know much about it, except that I was interested in the big questions of life e.g. What’s it all about? Why are we here? But I found out philosophy was the investigation of the three E’s – Epistemology (what it is to know), Existentialism (what it is to be), and Ethics (a system of moral principles concerned with what is good for individuals and society). The topic of this book falls within the latter E
. Abortion was a topic studied in my first year at university, in the popular course Social and Moral Philosophy.
If you become pregnant, it is easily feasible that you can be the only person who knows about it. You privately test yourself and get a positive result. No one else knows about it.
Perhaps you do not want to be pregnant. In which case you may think, Dam Fuck, Dam, Fuck!!! Yet the reality is, and correct me if I’m wrong, new life has been conceived. Not just any life, but your offspring. The ball is in your court; you can continue with your pregnancy, or you can have it terminated. It must be quite a relief, to have an unwanted pregnancy ended. You could consume a herbal concoction or take RU-486, or try some other method, whether it is legal or not.
On the other hand, you may have wanted to become pregnant, and then it is a whole different story. You will probably appreciate people saying, Congratulations. Wanted unwanted, that’s the way it is with pregnancies. Yet as Jacinda Ardern, the current Prime Minister of New Zealand, once said on public radio concerning pregnancy, "I know how this roles. Some surprises, they’re surprises, but not mistakes."¹ This leads me to my conclusion of this whole sordid matter: At the end of the day a woman has a choice, but she is given a blessing. By blessing I mean something positive.
I could be wrong, but I think abortion on the global scale as it currently exists, will only end when women choose to continue their pregnancies. Even if the law allowed abortion for any reason and at any stage in a pregnancy, surely Governments should at least encourage women to continue with their pregnancies. Isn’t that the more intelligent and good-hearted way to go? Or do Governments regret most of the citizens they currently have?
The law of the land can have an influence upon the number of abortions in a nation. Yet besides the law, a government simply encouraging women to continue with their pregnancies shows a preference of life over death. Women continuing their pregnancies can be economically positive for a nation and of course, it’s good to have entertainers e.g. comedians and musicians (and butchers, bakers and candlestick makers for that matter). Though in saying all that, raising children requires a team effort. Hang on, some women have continued with their pregnancies and maybe they shouldn’t have, because now we have rappers!
Society, as a generalization, loves abortion. Yet, I think people don’t want to know about abortion, they just want it available and let’s not talk about it, end of story. So, what is the point of writing a book that people won’t want to read? Good question. Maybe I can add it to the list of mistakes I’ve made
