Abortion in America

The subject of abortion is something that I have been passionate about for a long time. I’m not particularly comfortable with living in a country that allows such an indignant form of so-called “convenience.” Abortion has been legal long enough now that people have become callused to its reality . Every once in a while it is imperative to our country’s conscience to take a deep look into its essence and what it really is. And that is murder.
One of the biggest calumnies that pro choice advocates use is : What if the mother won’t have enough money to raise the child? Well, if you’re a murderer and someone is going to negatively affect your life, you should kill him/her because that’s what murderers do. If you’re not a murder, have the baby! Mother Theresa once said, “It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you can live as you wish.” Yes, there are many poverty stricken homes in our nation, but rarely do you see a case of poverty in America equaling that of some of the even less severe cases in third world countries. But yet the suicide rate in these countries is somewhat lower than it is in some of our inner cities. Why is this? People want to live. It doesn’t matter how rich or poor they are. It doesn’t even matter how well they’re fed. Life is an endeavor; it’s a challenge. Liberals want to take away the opportunity for some because there chance of comfort and success is low. Abraham Lincoln was born in a one-bedroom log cabin (and people think big city apartments are primitive). Liberals would have told Abe’s mother, “Mrs. Lincoln, you really don’t want to have this baby. It’s sure to live a life of poverty and misfortune. It’s chance of success is much lower than that of babies born in more fortunate homes. Plus, you can’t afford to raise this baby; you would have to work more to take care of it, and your husband would have to work harder to feed it. It’s just not worth it.”
Most cases of abortion display the ultimate manifestation of inward selfishness even in the cases of "poverty." But what’s really sad is that there are many cases where the mother is a successful businesswomen who didn’t want to get pregnant in the first place, so she decided to kill her baby. This scenario takes place every day in our nation. Did anyone ask the baby whether or not he/she wanted to live? I’ve always liked that bumper sticker that said, “smile, your mom chose life.” Ronald Reagan once said, “I’ve noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born.” Mothers act like their babies belong to them. Well, God created the baby, so guess what? It belongs to God. A mother does not own her baby anymore than she owns her next door neighbor. Who are we to decide whether or not a life should be lived out in it’s fullness and where it should end? That is for God to decide. God, through His love and patients has allowed us to live. We are not to decide when someone's life will end, with the exception of those who choose to take the life of another human being. Some nitwit by the name of Loesje once said: “How can anyone be against abortion but for the death penalty?” In other words: how can you say that the most despicable, retched people in our nation deserve to die, and the very most innocent people on earth should live? Unthinkable! I guess this is a Liberal’s idea of a good pro choice argument.
I think we all know what the Bible has to say about abortion (hint: “You shall not murder” -- Exodus 20:13), but what does the constitution say about it? Yes, Liberals, nowhere in the constitution does it say: “Hey if you ever decide that it is good, moral, and completely not savage to kill your babies, don’t do it anyways; that’s not what we’re about here in America.” On the other hand, it also doesn’t state: “if at any time in this great nation founded on Christian principles, a mother decides that it would be inconvenient to have the baby that she is pregnant with, she may halfway deliver the child, stick a tube in the baby’s head, and suck his/her brains out (partial birth abortion).” The Preamble to the Constitution states: “We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, secure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense , promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” One of the main purposes of the Constitution was to “secure the blessings of liberty… to [the founders’ and current citizens‘] posterity.” It’s seems evident that if the creators of the constitution could have ever imagined that this nation would reach a level of wickedness where we would deny our unborn children the opportunity to enjoy “the blessings of liberty” by killing them, they would have said something about it. There is no doubt in my mind about that. Yet the supreme court, which is supposed to interpret the law and discern what the constitution implies, could not understand this simple axiomatic truth. Instead they made the choice to allow murder to be overlooked in a nation that was originally founded on godly values. Another quote from Mother Theresa: “What is taking place in America is a war against the child. And if we accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell others not to kill one another?… Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants.”
It’s estimated that 32.5 million abortions have taken place in the United States. That means gone are approximately 300 thousand millionaires; hundreds of professional athletes (some of which would have been greats); millions of success stories; roughly 32.5 million first words (millions of which would have been “mommy” --the only word they have for their mommy now is… “why”); millions of best friends; but most importantly, 32.5 million human beings grafted in the image of God… However, the mothers of these children did not see all of this, all they saw were 32.5 million “problems.”
