I promised the last post wouldn't be my soapbox against abortion. Well guess what...this one is. I have seen a lot of stuff about Planned Parenthood here lately, which when are they NOT in the middle of the media? These ate the most warped, misinformed group of people spreading misinformation I have ever seen in my life. Yes, they offer women's health screenings and such. But they also pretty much tell women if you don't want your baby, get rid of it. This isn't my "Planned Parenthood bashing platform" so I will stop there.
As I mentioned in my last note being a nurse I have a pretty good grip on the anatomy of a fetus and pregnant mother. So we know that the heart begins beating roughly around the 10th day of conception. And as I said before do any of you know a woman that knew she was 10 days pregnant. Probably not. So once she finds out that she's pregnant she's already grown a living breathing human in her body for several weeks. So how can anyone justify that its "just another part of her body"?
God makes no mistakes. Granted in say my, and many other people's situations He probably isn't too happy with us who have children outside of marriage but he makes crappy situations better. I know this all too well. No child is a mistake in His eyes. In my opinion by aborting a child you are cutting God's plan short. Yes, God is in control but he also gives us free-will. So you can't say that was in God's plan. So now that I have put the Christian spin on it let's look at some legal aspects of it.
In many states assault or murder to a pregnant woman is gonna land you 2 charges. One for the mother and one for the baby. I think it's fair to say that we all would say "heck yeah. They deserve it" And look at the Susan Smiths and Casey Anthonys in the world. Who kill their innocent children who not once asked to have those psychos for parents. If I did my research correctly Susan Smith is still serving her sentence, and if the jury has any sense Casey Anthony will suffer the same fate. Again we all say the same "heck yeah, she deserves it". So what is the difference between those mothers and the thousands of mothers who cut their children's lives short by abortion everyday?
Some people wonder why I'm so against the health care bill well there are tons of reasons from my nursing stand point but my personal reason is this. Until someone caught it and demanded reform, there was a clause that allowed Medicaid to fund abortions. What did that personally say to me? (I say this as nicely as possibly) That the government was going to fund government riding baby factories to do stupid crap ie be promiscuous and they will clean up the mess for them. See my point, WE would have funded that whether we liked it or not.
Do I believe that folks should be allowed to do what they want to their bodies? Sure, I have tattoos, and piercings, and I like them. We can easily go into a fight over the verse that talks about mutilating the body, but not to be a jerk, I'd win that one too probably. That being said, when you become pregnant with a child I believe its not YOUR body anymore. It's that baby's home for the next 40 weeks. Some may argue "well if abortion is made illegal then women will go underground for them and that's not safe" ok, that's their stupidity for doing something illegal. Would you have the same sympathy for someone who died committing an armed robbery? There are thousands of people who want babies to adopt. If you neither can't nor are willing to provide your child with the best life possible why not allow someone who can and does want to? That would definitely be a morally better thing to do than to kill him/her. Some could even say, what about babies who are going to be disabled or ones victim of incest. Guess what they still deserve the chance to live out God's plan for themselves.
