Dear Manou,

Can you please expound on the rights of a woman who wants to abort an unwanted child which is feeding inside her body? Is nine months too long to let the baby breathe the air of this earth?

It is through sex that conception is undergone. Sex which is very satisfying whether it is thru rape or as a consensual act. After the act, sperms rush thru the vaginal canal and with the ovum ripe thru ovulation, conception takes place. The mother never directed the sperm to go to the ovum it was just pure CHANCE. So the woman never chose to be pregnant. It maybe some kind of a cosmic force which took place for the ovum to be penetrated by the sperm. Just like the earth. There was some kind of force which made the earth as it is today. There is nothing in the cosmos yet as complicated as this earth. Each of us was born because our mothers took care of us during her pregnancy and with the help of the cosmic force, we have not had any dreaded disease that have extinguished our life. I think if MY MOTHER OPTED TO ABORT ME BECAUSE I WAS THE CAUSE OF HER MISERY, I AM NOT ALIVE AT THIS MOMENTAND SO ARE YOU.  Would you agree? You see the child cannot speak while it is in the womb while the mother can. That is why many speak for their rights, because each of us has the right to LIFE even an egg in conception. 

Some women want so very much to have children and with less luck, have remained childless until they die. And some because of some reasons-to erase memories of rape/incest, no money to sustain the child, work which requires not to be pregnant, conception from an illicit relationship or the mother is too young or unprepared for the pregnancy-  would end the life of their child, and they think they have the right to end life? YOU DON'T. Because you may not be alive today if your mother chose to abort you while you were in her womb.
