   I'll try to keep this brief on such a mind-boggling issue as right to life.   
      
   Firstly, Life is about freedom of choice. If we dont have it then we dont   
   have control of our lives.   
      
   This assertion leads us to the next issue. When does a human have a right to   
   decide their own life? Well I say if nature/God allows children as young as   
   14-15yo to create life , then that is the age at which decisions can be made   
   regarding ones own body, people! I know many of you are in shock at this   
   assertion but tell that to God/nature.   
      
   Secondly, Free contraception must be available to all possible   
   child-creating people to allow them the choice of recreation or recreation,   
   if you know what I mean..   
      
   Thirdly, If a couple conceive a child, regardless of age, then that couple   
   alone should decide what to do next. Either they keep the child and the   
   state will help care for that child until the couple can support themselves,   
   or the couple together can decide to terminate that child, or they adopt the   
   child out. Its not good enough to state that women alone have the final say   
   in this. They bear the child for 9 months then if they dont want the child   
   the father can take over responsibility for its upkeep from there if he   
   wishes.   
      
   In the case of rape or danger to the woman's life, then because the woman   
   had no free choice in the creation of that child, or her life is in danger   
   if birth proceeds, she can choose to abort the child.   
      
   If gay couples wish to adopt a child thats fine too. But as God/nature   
   intended children to have both sexes to raise them, it is in the best   
   interest of the child for a heterosexual childless couple to have first   
   preference over a gay couple. If God/nature had wanted gays to bring up   
   children he/she would have allowed them to also reproduce.   
      
   This is the New Millenium people. We have to start afresh with how we think.   
   We need to look at this issue with consideration of all parties concerned   
   and with due respect to priorities once a child is conceived and with regard   
   to what nature/God has allowed us as humans to do.   
      
   We must forget what society has told us is "correct" and start afresh with   
   laws that are in tune with what nature has allowed us. Most importantly,   
   freedom of choice and responsibility for one's own actions is the key to   
   whatever laws we continue to apply to ourselves.   
      
   Thank you for your time. I would appreciate some feedback on my views.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Lu R.
