Standing at the precipice of a life altering decision, The Soul gazed out into the cosmos.

Not every soul is given this truly once in lifetime chance to decide their fate.

The chance to see into their future, into a life that would come to pass should The Soul choose to accept their fate.

She would, of course, remember nothing of this when she left the warm confines of her mother's womb and experience the end of innocence.

But, here and now, she looked upon her life without prejudice and the elevated consciousness that she would never attain again.

To be or not to be, that was her question. She was not going to be born into wealth and privilege, she would not have an easy life, nor a glorious death.

She would be born into abject poverty and be dealt a harsh hand. Eventually succumbing to disease brought about by the weakness created by starvation.

She chose to pass on this "life" and remain a disembodied soul.

The next soul was not given the chance to choose and was born into her miserable fate.

Most of us are not given the same opportunities and freedom to choose our fate once we arrive here on Earth.

This is a moral dilemma for those who seek the abolition of all abortion, then turn their back on the helpless children.

What if the innocent suffers through a short and miserable life, are you not as responsible for their misery as you are for their birth?

This is most certainly not an absolute statement for abortion, as absolute statements tend to be false. Merely, the thoughts running through my head as I ponder the state of humanity.

I would not choose to be born if I knew I was going to live a short miserable life.

Unless I chose to do so to save the next soul from that short miserable life.
