Abortion and Embryonic Research (http://logixsr.com/blog/?p=24)


There are certain inalienable rights granted to us that cannot be denied. Perhaps the single most important of these is the right to life as given unto us by nature or god. With those rights in mind our founders sought it necessary to further define these rights in establishing our independence.We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.The second right and gift placed upon our mantle is that of free will which lends to us the freedoms in our own individual lives to make those choices having any degree of impact on oneself and those nearest to them. In moving beyond the lacking scope of confederation our forefathers found it necessary to further protect these natural rights under the law of man and sought forth to create a more perfect union under our constitution.We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.With these truths reaffirmed and made evident it is crucial we stand by the moral values derived from this right to life while not infringing on our essential rights of choice and free will in a mannerism straying from overt intervention. It is in my best beliefs and intentions we need more now than ever before make mandate to protect the natural order of life and not force upon it creation only to meet in destruction.

On the matters relating to embryonic research I find an essential need to thus mandate and maintain strict bans against any practice that would see a life created merely to extinguish it once research has taken it’s fill. To further comply with the laws of man and thus leave to each individual their own battle with morality it becomes evident that we cannot simply ban the act but, instead, establish methods that would seek not to reward these actions. It would be vitally important that our government make no funds available to any organization or persons who would see that capital used towards the goal of creating the most basic human life only to later discard of it. These simple methods should provide a necessary compromise between men and their government to perhaps find another means of achieving the same results they intend.

On the matters relating to that of Abortion it should once again be noted that the right to life carries the most weight over the choices made by other parties. I feel it essential to again make no funds available to any organization or persons who would perform abortions or actively pursue that practice. I would find it prudent to further make regulations for the allowance of persons choosing to make use of an abortion service. These limits must be short in tenure limiting the action based on developmental stage of an embryo or fetus. I believe for the general use of the public this limit would prohibit the act of abortion on any life beyond the 8th week and find it prudent to make note that it would be preferable to recommend the act not be performed after the 6th week. Approaching the eighth week the embryo will have already begun developing very human characteristics and would be entering into the fetal phase at which point it should be considered criminal to terminate the life but not necessarily punishable by law.

It is important for us to take note of certain immoral behaviors that happen in our society that have often and could lead to a pregnancy that could arguably be considered unsuitable due to the extremes of the situation or by simple identification of serious medical deficiency. These circumstances should be identified and labeled with great care and as I see a fitting structure propose that the term limits in these specialist of cases be allowed to extend into the 12th week and no further. These cases that should be treated as special and given allowance to the extended term limits would be those in which a woman was raped, a woman became pregnant by means of incest, and finally after determination of serious medical affliction that would lend this life to one of undeniable pain and misery. The last mentioned of these three should not easily appreciate an affliction or disease into consideration and any consideration of affliction should be thoroughly critical and decided upon by majority consent of our health boards and citizens. Given to the satisfaction of these plans henceforth I currently cannot without further investigation openly admit to any particular affliction that would warrant this special provision with exception to those pregnancies that would cause great harm or loss of life to the already living.
