Abortion as a Basic Human Right: YES

As long as this survives:

Slavery thrives. From Albanian sex workers to Indian cigarette-rollers to black Africans bought and sold in Mauritania and Sudan: According to latter-day abolitionists such as the Boston-based American Anti-Slavery Group, more people -- AASG estimates some 27 million -- are owned now than ever before.

This must thrive:

AlterNet: Rights and Liberties: Abortion Is a Basic Human Right: "Amnesty International is in the midst of considering whether to include access to abortion in the list of rights that it supports. Many other organizations and individuals have long made the case that access to safe abortion services is a basic human right, one that saves thousands of women's lives and protects the health of many, many more.

As 70,000 women die each year around the world as a direct result of unsafe abortion, and 600,000 more are seriously injured, human rights activists should move quickly to ensure that Amnesty makes this historic decision. As somebody who is aware of the impact that Amnesty can have on governments, I will be doing my utmost to support the proposal. "

WHY? Because women in slavery breed more slaves and only to their sick masters delight. To all my anti-abortion readers this is my reply in advance: when you put your money into world reform in the advancement of peace and poverty eradication instead of the coffers of your Washington lobbyists, you can talk to me. Until then, save it.
