Pro Choice vs. Pro Life:

I'm for Pro-Choice. I think every woman has the right to use an abortion as birth control!
Every doctor that performs an abortion should be going over the risks involved so you know what you're getting into here! And if they don't, then every woman should know about the risks as well. If you don't and you've had to many abortions and now you can't have kids when you think you're ready?sorry?too bad?maybe you should have used protection?that includes ABSTINENCE as well!

I think we have to consider the overgrowth of our population too as well when considering the effects of Pro-Choice vs Pro-Life

I'm tired of seeing on the news how we're constantly ruining this planet, causing a faster effect of global warming, watching wildlife get killed because we've invaded their territory because we've outgrown ours, etc, etc?.

And since I'm a stats freak, lets go over these findings:

Estimated U.S. population as of July, 7th 2000: 6.1 BILLION PEOPLE (6,137,400,560)
Estimated U.S. population expected one year later 6.2 BILLION PEOPLE (6,234,250,378)
Growth over one year, for those who can't easily do the math, is 96,849,818!

Looking at the growth population alone at http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/img/worldpop.gif shows that by the time we reach the year 2050, there will be just over 9 BILLION PEOPLE!

The current world population is over 6 billion and increases at a rate of 76,570,430 people every year. U.S. population has increased 85 percent since 1950, growing from 151 million to 283 million in just fifty years. If present trends continue, our population will reach 400 million by the year 2050.

More people mean more pollution, less green space, and even more demands on the earth's already overburdened resources.

So, if we did elect to ban abortions, then we'll definitely eat ourselves out of house and home?. eventually?if not our life time?then maybe our kids!

That's my $.o2 worth!
