I consider the pledge of allegiance to be falsely directed. The pledge

to a flag, that can mean whatever the government and the media want it to
mean, is a rather empty and mindless task.

I think this is a very profound idea. It deserves to be pushed forward
somehow.
you continue:
You only deserve to die if you've proven you are unfit to live. The unborn
haven't even been given the chance... a woman who aborts is admitting either
that she will be an unfit mother, or that she has so little regard for the
life of others. Either way, its a toss up. Do you want to put a baby in the
hands of someone like that? I don't, which is why despite my misgivings
about the morality of it, I think abortion is the lesser of two evils. By
aborting, she's making sure there are fewer people like her (and the father)
in the world. Abortion and execution: I just call it evolution in action.

This is a touchy and complex issue. I would prefer the child to be born and
at least have an opportunity, no matter how limited, to have a life that
counts for something.
Some minority leaders have claimed that Planned Parenthood has a secret
agenda to 'trim' poor and dysfunctional black and hispanic populations. I
was quite surprised to read this.
Mike, quite honestly, you should be a radio talk-show personality. If your
personality and intelligence comes through half as well as it does in your
writings, you would be a serious contender. You could be the Rush Limbaugh
of transhumanism! ;)
best wishes,
