To begin, you must know that I do not practice a religion. My standard in life is The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I didn't arrive at this state until well into my life, having explored Christianity in the Methodist Church and the Jewish faith by visiting Temple services. I engaged in the United Nations Human Rights initiatives after years of consideration. I converted to Catholicism because that was my wife's faith, though we both moved on.
Fundamentally, I don't like the idea of people in society taking love, sex, and the outcomes lightly. I cherish humanity and its frailty with guarded concern.
I embrace individualism as far as it makes sense, with the caveat that there are many things about which the common good surpasses individual freedom.
I researched and wrote extensively to explain both political and economic views in copious detail. I am appalled that political parties in the United States operate as corporations without common standards and without liability for the politicians who bear their brand. Honesty is the place to begin.
The problem I want to address is not abortion, per se. The real issue is what to do about the consequences of unwanted pregnancies.
First, there are different reasons and causes of unwanted pregnancies.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Article 5 of the UDHR declares as article 7 of the ICCPR would subsequently, "No one shall be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment." 54 This includes the cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment and torture the unborn child is submitted to in an abortion.
There is an issue with when a fetus becomes a child. That determination is made under the rule of law independent of religious faith and beliefs.
The debate in the U.S. today is about the creation and administration of laws regulating these circumstances. The Legislature appears to want States to make the regulations. The Supreme Court seems to be saying the laws and regulations are incomplete for them to decide.
The trouble is that babies, and subsequently children, are guaranteed the right to exist with fairness and equality. For them to be ensured a good life under the law, the Legislature and Court must address the full responsibility of individuals and society for all of their entire lives.
Is society prepared to pay the price for the consequences of unwanted pregnancies with the same passion it has for opposing legalized abortions?

First, there are different reasons and causes of unwanted pregnancies.
- Accidents from unprotected sex
- Rape and incest result in a woman becoming pregnant against her will, including when underage girls become pregnant
- A woman is pregnant during which, someone must decide to save the woman or the child for medical reasons
