Abortion The Topic We Avoid
Abortion.. we all know it, we all try to avoid the conversation. I am going to go ahead and put this out there that i dont know which side i am on for this topic..yes its a horrible thing that almost anyone should not do but i do believe that there are some exceptions on the conditions that some people should be allowed to have this done. Of course i don't believe that girls as teenagers who screw up and get pregnant should get an abortion because hey what is the baby going to do? its going to just be another part of you in your life to make you a better person in most cases. And i believe that once you have the baby that you are going to enjoy it.. well after all the crying nights end. BUT some conditions on the people who might actually need an abortion.. say you have someone who was raped and they became pregnant by their raper what then? and that baby would remind them everyday of what that man did to her..i believe that that might be an exception you honestly might have to make.. i don't know how someone could live with themselves if they did have an abortion but i don't know how someone would do if they didn't and had the guilt or shame of having it. i am absolutely against having an abortion for teenagers but i also do believe that some people should have an exception or speech on why they believe they MUST have it. I know this is a touchy subject for a lot of people and i also know that most people would yell at me for even considering it to being partially right. But be in another persons shoes for a moment. think for awhile. comment back.

I understand why some women would think an abortion would solve things. However, I personally think they should have a couple counseling sessions with a truly unbiased person before they do anything. A terrified woman or couple doesn't need to go into a place where people will make up their minds for them. I don't think that would ever fix anything. In my opinion, that's why the abortion clinics are not the first place to go.
ReplyDeletePeople's definitions of "pro-life" can be interesting. Normally the exact same people who are marching in the streets against abortion are also pro-capital punishment and pro-war. I've never understood that a bit - how you can decide one set of people's lives are worth saving, but others are worthless. That's a soapbox for another day, but I consider myself pro-life straight across the board.
ReplyDeleteAndrea is right on the money. Counseling sessions consisting of an outside unbiased opinion often make a world of difference. I say that realizing there are difficult circumstances such as rape or even if it's discovered the baby has some type of abnormality.
The main thing to take from it all compassionate towards people and for us not to judge them. I know a few very wonderful women who have had abortions. Some truly regret their choices and some, not so much. Regardless, someone in that situation needs our love rather than the nasty opposition they often get. Whatever Jesus may have said in the Bible about preserving life, he said tenfold about loving others.
