If you think laws in Singapore are tough, look at China, where they administer the death sentence to even non-violent crimes such as fraud and embezzlement, it is recently publicized that the execution rate in China will be reduced and thereon suspended. The number of executions administered in China last year, in 2008, reported by the Amnesty International, totaled up to an approximate 1,718, which is 72% of the international executions administered last year. May I suggest that since this has occurred, I urge other countries to keep the international quota equal as it is as we do not need too many people in this dirtball of meaningless random events.

It looks like organic farming is taking the rap for its’ false prophecies when research has proven there are no ‘benefits’ as claimed by the tree-hugging community. Though it is beneficial for the environment, organic food is not beneficial to us. So much for saving the environment, you’re not even saving your wallet.

It looks like pregnant women are 4 times more likely to catch the swine flu, thus giving them the priority to access vaccination. So stop having babies, it reduces your chances of catching pig flu and it aids the environment; less people=a better environment.

The Formula ONE have been making headlines these few weeks with the richer crowd wanting to create their own league, Massa recovering from his eye injury, BMW quitting after this season ends after Honda’s withdrawal in December, and the legendary Michael Schumacher to return to the race tracks in replace of Massa. Well, you win some, you lose some.

 

Abortion: Murder or Birth Control?

By Marc Ashley Alexander

I, being me, will discuss topics from a cynical point of view of which I have no stands, no basis, and just pure on-the-spot thinking. I don’t see right and wrong, good or evil, values and meaninglessness; I see nothing.

So in this topic, I’ll discuss from where I stand and where I don’t the act of abortion.

Some view it as murder, others, an escape, to some, it even means to save money in the long run, so what’s the beef on morals and objectivity, liberalism and divinity?

From a religious point of view, abortion is considered murder; the act of stealing, or more considerably taking another life.

From a liberal stance, an abortion may mean murder or it may mean another method of birth control.

The religious adopt the more abstained lifestyle, to please their means of divinity, so tendencies like premarital sexual activities, and obviously conceiving a child before a marriage is consummated is sinful to the religious community. Though the religious do deserve the respect they command, that does not mean that that respect cannot be opposed.

For the liberals, they choose to adopt their own lifestyle, to suit their needs and beliefs in which they hold very firmly. So certain liberals may tend to differ from other liberals, but I’m not here to discuss the separatism in liberalism, nor am I here to give a speech on the various religions.

From the way I see it, an abortion is a subjective option to many reasons; imagine being 14 in a low-income family and having to raise an ‘unwanted’ child, the first instance here is, “where would the pride go to?”, further along, financial issues will appear and soon, how is the 14-year-old going to attend school while mothering a child?

You see, it’s not always the life that is soon-to-be lost that matters here, the adjacent people suffer as well, so if one were to say, “abortion is murder, you must not assess it no matter what your situation,” it would be not only selfless of that individual, it would also be selfish, for that individual has no proper understanding and estimation of how such a situation would eventually end, for that individual may not have experienced a similar situation.

If the abortion of a foetus is considered the murder of life then the simple act of bodily expulsions such as mucus and saliva, urine and feces is therefore considered murder, for scientifically any living organism is then from the world’s largest creature to a microscopic cell, for it functions on its own accord, similarly, the human body functions on the interactivity of our cellular particles, of which, we won’t be considered life if they were to not function, thus making the average sperm an already living organism, therefore any male who has had an orgasm is therefore a mass murderer, any woman who has gone through her menstrual period is a serial killer, and a child who falls and bleeds is also a killer for they do discharge bodily cells which function in the body, which act in its own accord directed by it nucleus, which then allows it to be called life and thus from discharging these particles into an environment in which it is not familiar with or programmed to function in, it will die and decompose, just like a person being thrown into the ocean with no swimming knowledge, or no air supply, it will die, and decompose.

If abortion is then considered murder, then on what grounds is it not?

This is the part where subjectivity comes into the game. If the person is medically unwell or considerably unfit to look after the child after or before it is born then an abortion might be a considerable option.

But, there is also the question of ‘if there is no reason for an abortion, why make it a considerable move?’

This is my answer and my conclusion: Because everyone can do whatever they want to do with their lives, if conceiving a child is a mistake, then deal with your own mistakes, if it’s a blessing to you, then so be it, there’s no need to tell people what to do with their lives, so keep your imperialistic dogma to yourselves and worry about your own lives.
