Abortion

Abortion is an issue that has forced us into opposing sides and politically divided this country. The meanings of words like "pro-life" are deceiving in that it infers that those opposed are "anti-life".
Actually, where I have a problem with the abortion issue is that I can't understand why the gov't. is involved with making and repealing laws on an issue that is not for politicians as it is a moral or religious issue and has nothing to do with running the country.
Another confusing point is that of who is really qualified to make a decision about having an abortion. Since it is the female that must go through the physicalness of a pregnancy, shouldn't this be a female issue and decision ? Until a male can carry and deliver a child, the only time that they might have a say in this issue is if they are the prospective father; and even then, does the sperm donor really have the final word ?
Several "watchdog" organizations have done studies and they have come up with the same results as to what the monetary cost of abortion is. Since the Roe v. Wade decision, the amount that our gov't. has paid out (our tax dollars at work) for abortions is more than what it has paid out in Social Security payments during this same period of time.
I propose that the gov't. get out of the abortion business by neither passing laws dealing with abortion or funding abortions. The money that would have been spent for these abortions could then be put into an account that would fund Social Security; thus solving two important problems. There are hundreds of religious and publicly supported organizations that are either pro-abortion or anti-abortion and they could either help pregnant woman with the decision making and/ or funding, thus keeping abortion a private matter and one less thing for the rest of us to have to deal with.
It doesn't matter which side of this issue you are on; if you have an opinion about it, then you're obligated to write to your representatives to tell them not to vote for any more laws dealing with abortion. You might also add that you'd like the money that the gov't. spends on abortions each year to be set aside to fund Social Security.
