Here's a great idea: Write on how democracy would be a wonderful idea pertaining to the views of both a mother and a father regarding abortion. Use the example of your mother being set on having a child (you), while your father wished to abort the child (you). Make a case for what an idiot you turned out to be, and why abortion would have been a great choice in your particular case. Use supporting details such as beginning paragraphs with the word "For," how you phrase questions within a larger context, and how you can't even answer a really simple question FOR YOUR OWN APPLICATION.
I would suggest going into greater detail, setting up a true democracy. Put into place a system for deciding ties (such as your mother and father representing an opposing 50% tie). I would draw your extended family into this, and include how they will garner a place on the voting panel. Perhaps a system of seven should be used, copying the judiciary procedure of jury selection.
End your essay with a statement such as "Because my family represents a failed attempt at democracy, I am unfortunately alive and well, and wish to enroll in your university. It is my hope that through my studies I will be able to effect widespread change, thus limiting future instances of such atrocities."
