It has been scientifically proven that intelligence is 60% hereditary and 40% environmental. Therefore, if a infant is being raised by two parents who are high school dropouts, it chances of having a high intelligence are rare. Hopefully after the child is born, the parents will be able to go back to school (a chance to gain back that 60%); and/or even better, they will find a safe living environment for that child (a chance to be able to depend on that 40%).
Most of the time that when a child is born unplanned, one parent will have to nurture while the other parent does most of the money making, or a grandparent will be lend a helping hand. With hard work and a little luck, the baby will be well taken care of and a unplanned mistake will elicit into an unexpected surprise.
But what of the children born into families who have no good hereditary genes for intelligence, and their living conditions are inadequate? What are the parents to do then?
Yesterday I was reading an article on the Internet called "Presidency fuels abortion debates." It was about how the Obama administration to work on legalizing abortion-rights and help strengthen family-planning programs. It explained how women should be entitled to their rights to be able to have an abortion if they so please. Now I am pro-choice, and do not think that women should "abuse," the opportunity, but more use it as a "lesson learned." Of course adoption is always an option, but that's hardly the argument in this case.
Let's face is 60% is a huge percentage to be putting on your innocent children, and 40% is not enough to depend on. I think that if a mother makes a mistake then she should have every right to be entitled to have a second chance at a better future. Plus, with the way our economy is going to hell in a handbag, our nation can not afford to have anymore irresponsible people running around.
Some people are anti-abortion; well I AM ANTI-STUPID people in my nation.
