I would agree some women come to abortion through circumstances they had little or no control over and certainly deserve no stigmatisation. There are many legitimate reasons for abortion in society today, my complaint in this case is "I, too, had an abortion -- simply because I did not want a child." So because Yoshie wants sexual gratification, wants to feel that ejaculation, exalt in that orgasm and she just doesn't give a shit about contraception. Why the hell should she, she can get an abortion. Never mind that now she is taking up the time of a surgeon, aneasthetist and perhaps a couple of nurses because contraception just isn't the thing, takes away from the moment. Let's all do it, fuck away to our hearts content and open abortion clinics on every corner. Contraception ? Nah, just pop round the clinic, it's outpatient service, they're really quick now. Another money maker for consumer society. Take life seriously ? No way, it's in the constitution ' pursuit of happiness'. We demand people take responsibility for their actions, oh, except for sex. I think there should be a bloody good reason for abortion.
