However, the abortion issue is one I struggle to ever accept or respect. To me it is saying "yeah I wouldn't kill my baby but I respect your choice to kill yours" like what?? This is just not a political difference.. It is a human rights one. I have thought so hard about the issue and as I can see where there are situations where a mother is facing a life and death situation and her and her doctors must make quick and difficult decisions to save a life. Now outside of that there should be no choice to terminate the pregnancy. At this point everyone has read and seen the science of that fact that these are REAL people inside the womb. They feel pain and even dream! If this law was one where abortions were only being performed under the most discerning and extreme cases that would be one thing, but that is not the majority of abortions being performed. Reasons such as, "I didn't want a boy" or "I already have two" or " I forgot about protection" are the most selfish downright evil excuses I have ever heard! I am sympathetic to any woman who has to face an unplanned pregnancy. It is a big deal, I get it. But we don't get to just murder someone to make our lives easier. There are resources. Adoption is a beautiful option, I know many families who would love and cherish that baby!
Now from a political perspective one thing I will never understand from the left is the encouragement to abort a baby who may be born with a disability. And I am talking about a functional disability not terminal. So if a baby is diagnosed with a possible disability, where they may be different than the rest of us, it is viewed as a drain on society or a not as fulfilling life? These are the same people who scream and yell that everyone is equal and republicans are evil and racist and that we should accept everyone as the way there are.. But hey thats only if we can prevent you from being born in the first place. Now if that's not just backwards I don't know what is. I wish I were exaggerating and only using the extreme situations but these are the majority of abortions!
The institution of abortion was created to eradicate specific people in specific cities (inner city poor families). And somehow we don't find that offensive? This is called population control not to mention racist! Hillary sat on that debate stage saying she is against countries like China for using population control when her policies are exactly that but in a milder more secretive form.
Being a mom now I have never been so angry over such a subject. To tell me abortion is a choice is the most offensive thing I could hear as a mother and as a woman. You are telling me that when I carried my baby and I felt her kick and I saw her tiny feet stick out in my belly that she was less of a person?? That in those ultrasounds where I cried in joy over seeing her heart beat and her suck her thumb I was being emotional over a bunch of cells? And to those friends I know that lost babies or delivered premies they cried and mourned over something not real? To the moms who adopted..that their babies should have never been born? I believe the opposite of the women's right issue on this. I think it is a strong slap in the face to all women and mothers to condone abortion.
As a Christian I will always do my best to practice Grace and love with those who believe and think differently than I do. Even with the abortion issue I want nothing more than to tell these women you are more than this. You are more than a teenager who got pregnant, you are more than a struggling single mom, you are more than your career. You have the ability and the gift to bring another person into this world. A person who if pointed in the right direction can make a difference in this world. A person who is just as important as the president or any famous actor in Hollywood. They were thought of by our creator before they were formed in your womb. He had a plan for them and you get to be their mom or give them a family that will love them fully. You get to do the most selfless and beautiful thing in all the world. And do not let any person or government tell you this world is better without them. Choose the hard moment over the lifetime of regret and the empty spot in this world where your child belonged.
