Beyond the Guilt: Why Abortion is a Necessary Tool for Global Sustainability

ll anti-abortion religious and interest groups always focus on the fetus and the mother’s guilt. First of all, the only reasons mothers feel guilt is because they have no social reinforcement structure to promote and encourage the act they are performing. They are stuck in a matrix of ignorance that their entire culture projects. They blame themselves for their actions and feel that they have "killed a person" because their fundamentally religious saturated culture condemns sex and thinks that “god has a plan.” 

The point is that there is nothing inherently wrong with abortion. The fact is that guilt towards abortion has to do with social reinforcement. If every time a pregnant woman went into an abortion clinic and was thanked for supporting population control and doing humanity a favor by reducing the amount of resource allocation that one child saved, mothers would no longer feel guilty. If those mothers were told that their future baby--that is currently a non-living cluster of cells--helped reduce carbon in the atmosphere by X amount, women wouldn't feel guilty about abortion.

According to the United Nations Population Fund: 

"Many, though not all, women who resort to abortion would use contraception if given a choice. In Nigeria, only 10 per cent of women hospitalized for abortion complications had ever used contraception, but 45 per cent said they wanted to do so. In Bolivia, only 7 per cent of such women had ever used contraception yet 77 per cent said that they wanted to do so. Where abortion is safe and widely available, and other reproductive health services are in place, rates of abortion tend to be low. The simple conclusion is: better contraceptive services for all people will reduce abortion."

In many cases, Yes you are! (Source)

Commercials and advertisements for anti-abortion campaigns state the amount of individuals being prevented to live due to abortion as a bad thing. These commercials have no real sense of reality or morality. They do not focus on the whole picture. Rather they merely focus on abortion at the individual level and, for all extensive purposes, they must because when viewed from an encompassing overall perspective that takes into account economic and resource allocation one has no other choice but to support population control through contraception, abstinence, and abortion. 

Abortion is not immoral but a necessity for population control, evolution, and the betterment of humanity. Abortion should not only be safe and legal but encouraged in contemporary society due to the situation at hand. However, I do not support abortion as a form of birth control. Not only is it relatively unsafe and risky but it is also unnecessary with modern birth control means. The best use for population control is contraceptives but America has its own war against that too.
