...We need to visit Chloe, she's six weeks pregnant with a baby boy that, should he be born, will be called George. George will be a loving boy who fixes things, old lawn mowers and cars mostly. He will also be a volunteer farmer and volunteer firefighter. In the new world he won't need to stick to just one thing, he can move with his interests and abilities more easily. In his forties he will retrain as a nurse, quite a life. But Chloe is here right now, in 2015 and she was conned into the sex trade by a pimp. He bought her fancy meals and clothes and then got her into stripping to "help them save up for a house." As soon as he had enough to blackmail her with he started pimping her out under threat of exposure and violence. She knows she is pregnant and is scared. If she tells the boyfriend turned pimp she'll be forced to abort the baby. She doesn't know who the Dad is anyway.
Her grades at school have plummeted so much that even if she escapes the pimp she's looking a life on food-stamps for her and the baby. So what should she do? Should George be born? In our time, that's a subject for debate (crazily) because George will cost the taxpayers money, so will Chloe, they are now a drain on the "economy." The baby is seen as an economic burden not a joy, not a perfect gift of Love. A baby comes with a price tag and money is debt. Who pays? No-one wants to; everyone knows that the object of "the game" is to accumulate wealth to guarantee "safety can comfort" and little George will hinder them in doing so. We know that an abortion will psychologically harm Chloe too, but who can afford to be so sentimental? We have our own stuff to worry about, right?...
