Are we all saying that a free person in this country must subjugate their goals and dreams for their life, in order to fulfill a duty, one that is not their choice, but instead imposed upon them by a fearful society?

Subjugate their goals? Why should a tiny human being [with as much worth as you] be violently murdered so that you can be free to have sex without consequence? Have a little mercy on those who can't defend themselves. Responsibility is key though--You might have to put the life of the child *above* yourself and your own needs.

My post addressed the ambiance of the article and thread that there was some kind of duty to overpopulate the planet, not abortion.

So, I ask you -- are you proposing that women have a duty? Something that usurps their freedoms in this society? Something that trumps their free will, their freedom of choice, their inalienable right of the pursuit of happiness?

The "developing" world can procreate to their hearts' content -- their water will only go so far. And that always is the limiting factor -- water, food, agriculture.

The question we must ask ourselves is this: will the "developed" world continue to support the "developing" world's population explosions, when their own land and water cannot support it?
