Abortion

A touchy subject of course, especially to those who have experienced it or had to go through the thought process for either being too young, "ruining your life", or even just thought upon as a burden to your life.  Abortion is a very controversial issue.  Whether people agree or disagree they tend to stand strongly either pro or con.  I myself, I'm totally against this option.  In fact, I don't even consider it an option.  It shouldn't be looked at as an alternative to having a baby, it shouldn't be legal.  All young women who aren't ready to have a baby, but it happens by "accident" believe that an abortion is the right thing to do... for them, of course.  At this point in time all these young women are thinking about is themselves, and how they made a mistake and any way possible to get rid of this so called mistake.  Mistake my ass, if any baby were a mistake then we wouldn't have the leaders we do, and we wouldn't be so damn happy at child birth.  Young women believe it's their body so therefore their decision.  Who helped make that baby?  There had to be sperm in order to make that baby what it should be and hopefully what it will be.  Biblically, children are viewed as a gift and an inheritance from the Lord.  Therefore, no baby is a mistake and every newborn deserves a chance to make themselves who they should be and figure out their place in this world.  The reason there is no direct wording in The Bible against abortion is because it was so ubsurd and unheard of to israelite women that God didn't feel he needed to address that subject.  Childlessness was seen as a curse in the Bible.  Found in The Old Testament legal code, Exodus 21:22-25.

If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.                                                                                                                                     

 

Meaning if there happens to be a premature birth because of two fighting men accidentally hitting a pregnant woman,  but no damage done to the baby the offender pays whatever is asked for by the mother's husband, but if damage is done.   They were to match the damage done. Depending on how serious the damage may have been.  If it were that serious during Biblical times, what has our government come to, to even consider allowing that in our society.  One nation under God?????  That wasn't a joke, that is our country's pledge, have we just let all good and all that is right leave our lives for good?  Abortion is murder, I don't care how many people say there is no heartbeat up to a certain point,  it's still murder, because you know what is to become of what you're getting rid of.  There is no doubt in anyone's mind that it is wrong.  My theory on how it will always mean something and how it's not just another "thing" in your body is this...  My father got his appendix removed when he was 19 years old.  My friend Vanessa got an abortion at 6 weeks, whereas you normally detect a heartbeat at 12-18 days detected at 8 weeks so people may not be informed or be able to feel the heartbeat but it is beating just like ours.  Either way both are being removed from the body,  one being a body part and one being an unborn child,  if abortion was no big deal, they should both feel the same right after, correct?  Well, as my theory is proven they felt completely different right after and even months later.  My dad felt great as if were no big deal just a body part being removed, and Vanessa could not stop crying.  If it were just like anything else in your body just getting taken out she should have felt as my dad did, because she was right there was not informed of any detected heartbeat so to her it's not considered murder.  But for some reason three months later we have a debate and she still can't even stay in the room of the debate.  If abortion is no big deal, then women could move on and forget it, just like an appendix.  But there have been various women I've asked about and all replies were very similar, it is the worst feeling in the world, it's unbearable to live with.  I believe if a female is too young, your alternative should be adoption, abortion shouldn't even be considered any alternative to any female.  When the topic of abortion is addressed, there is always the belief that it is the person's decision.  With decision comes responsibilty, that baby then becomes the responsibility to what some may consider an "accident".  This issue then becomes cause and effect,  when you cause something you learn to live with the effect minus the alternative.  If you're responsible enough to do the deed, then you should be responsiible enough to live with the consequences.  Abortion shouldn't be considered a right issue it always has been a moral and ethical issue.  The incline in pregnancy recently has caused a decline in our females against abortion, the more pregnant teens there are the more abortion starts to seem "okay".  For example, one of my best friends was 100 % against abortion her entire life until June of 2008, when that pregnancy test came out positive and the minute her boyfriend left her, she seemed quick to change her opinion.  She felt she HAD to get an abortion that it was her only option.  That adoption would keep her worrying all of her life where the baby was and if the baby were in good hands or not.  Which proves one of my previous points.  That baby was just formed and just realized and she's still already worried and already cares about his/her future.  A mother's true instincts, but she was all for letting that baby go.  She didn't think she could handle it by herself and the best thing for her future was to let that baby go.  She was able to go through with the abortion, and to this day she can't live with herself, she's living a lot worse with the guilt on her shoulder than she ever would have lived with that baby that should have experienced everything that she was able to experience. Once again abortion is a controversial subject, so as you've read above are my own true opinions, I don't care if you agree or disagree.  But respect what I have to say and be polite on your responses back.  Thank you all!
