A SOMEWHAT MODEST PROPOSAL

A Somewhat Modest Proposal:

1. The subject of the satire is how abortion should be allowed even in the adulthood of the fetus.  It describes how a fetus is no more human in it's mothers womb than it is as an adult, therefore the mother should be able to terminate the fetus any any point in it's life.
2. The criticism being made is regarding the debate about the time up until birth that a mother can have an abortion.  Colin Cohen is showing that he thinks the dispute is silly by writing this essay.  He satirically makes fun of the worldwide problem in his essay by saying that if a mother can have an abortion when the fetus in is her womb, she may as well be able to have one at any time in the "fetus'" life!
3. "Proud Latina" 's Personal Opinion on Abortion :
"Proud Latina" thinks abortion is wrong at any time or in any situation. She thinks if you have an abortion, you are your own child's murderer.
4. I believe abortion is OK under the right circumstances. If the child you are bringing into this world has a disability that has been previously detected that would make their life hard or miserable, maybe abortion is the right choice for that particular situation. If the mother simply has an unwanted pregnancy and they just don't want to settle down, abortion is not the right thing to do since there are other options out there like adoption.
