ABORTION VERSUS MOTHERHOOD

You could find yourself in a situation when all of a sudden there is choice to make.  Yes, I’m
speaking of making a decision between abortion and motherhood.  Many women interviewed for The
Voice of Australian Women Survey, are feeling increasing pressure financially of having children.  Two out of five women who have terminated a pregnancy feel that abortion is validated because they were not in a financial position to have a child.  This concern is being echoed in more and more
younger women.

There is an rise in the number of women saying that abortion is an absolute right. In 1980, 62% indicated an absolute yes.  In 2007, 69% indicated an absolute yes.

There is a significant drop in the number of women saying that abortion should only be considered under certain circumstances, like when there is a medical threat to a woman’s life or rape.  In 1980, 32% gave a nod to this question, whilst in 2007, only 26% agreed.

Due to the complex nature of this sexual issue, more than one reason for abortion was given.
Below are the statistics for the main reasons for having an abortion.

3% indicated abortion due to being raped.

13% indicated that they had a child/children already and did
not wish to have anymore.

14% indicated that it was a medical necessity.

39% indicated that they were not in a financial position to
have this child.

41% indicated that they were not in the right relationship.

45% felt they were too young to have a baby.

SHIFTING SEXUAL BELIEFS TO BENEFIT WELLBEING

Uncivilized behavior!!! Pole dancing is sexual; there is no mistaking that. And oh my, they do it in sleazy ‘Strip Clubs.’   Don’t they!

Beliefs, that is all it is.

Yet, it is beliefs that create wars, sexual abuse, terrorism, perceptions on what reality is.

Beliefs that are perceived to be true for one individual may not be held as the same for another.
When someone’s way of being, is judged as threatening to another individual’s, it is because that person, man, woman or child is fearful.

Their fears rise up, overwhelming any rational thought or action, and they attack at what is causing their emotional uneasiness. The attacks may be verbal, they may be physical, and it does happen.

Fears of what might happen. “What if?”

There is an exercise program for children which has hit the limelight - pole dancing for kids. It has raised more than eyebrows for some adults, they are outraged. The adults who are offended by such an exercise program for children appear to be getting sex and exercise confused. Kids love to have fun, something many adults have forgotten. Children are not adults in thought, belief or action and to think that they are for even for one minute shows us how little we really know of “who” children really are. For  men and women who themselves think that pole dancing as an exercise program for children is at all dangerous to developing young minds need to stop and think. Then have a good look at the fears about their own sexuality. You never know what kind of sexual wound may be festering in the dark recesses of their pretty little heads that may be in need healing. 

Men and women who keep a tight reign on sexual behaviors of any kind in thought (belief ) have control over their behaviors, (actions) which conflict with the natural rhythms of the human body.

You could look at it from this perspective -

In mind ~ virtues, such as “keeping up appearances”

In body ~ physical illness’s, like that of obesity

Is having a puritan attitude towards sex only feeding the fears associated with sexuality itself?

Let’s peer through the looking glass from a totally different perspective. One of the positive aspects of this children’s exercise program could be asked. “What will?”

The children who are participating, already are showing us that they are confident, eager to overcome their physical and emotional barriers. They have the mindset of a self- achiever.

Self-achievers, are healthier, happier and more balanced in thought and action than their more fearful counterparts.

In addition, the results done in a poll for The Health Smart Magazine on whether women would do pole dancing for exercise have shown that more women are for than they are against.  For further information go to http://www.readersdigest.com.au/healthsmart

Lets open our minds and let new ideas in, they may just be good for us.
