MY thoughts on abortion
- Abortion is murder. A baby's heart can begin to beat as early as the 4th or 5th week of pregnancy. Therefor, that baby is a living being once the heart beats for the very first time. In my opinion, having an abortion after the heart has started to beat- is murder.
- Abortion should be illegal in ALL circumstances.
- Abortion is NOT the only option if a baby is not wanted. There are TONS of people in the world who have tried and tried to have a baby of their own, with no success. People who would give ANYTHING to have a baby to love and raise. Save your baby's life and give those people what they deserve at the same time- have the baby and let them adopt him/her. Simple! (I used to be one of those people. My husband and I tried for several years to have a child. We would have given anything for a baby. 2 miscarriages, medical testing, and many unsuccessful attempts later- we finally had our precious and perfect angel, Aidan. If someone would have offered to let us adopt their baby during those heartbreaking years when we were unable to have our own, we would have gladly accepted.) It is very sad to think that some of the people who would make the greatest parents, will never be given the chance.
- If someone commits a crime, they must face the consequences. Therefor, if someone is irresponsible enough to become pregnant unintentionally (by not using birth control AND a condom each and EVERY time they engage in sexual intercourse)- they, too, should have to face the consequences. That includes not having the option to "get out of it." If they do not want the baby, they can place him/her up for adoption after he/she is born.
- If I were in a position where the doctor could either save my life or my babies life, NOT BOTH, I would choose my babies life to save. I have lived, loved, drew breath, felt, smelled, heard, seen, etc. Every baby deserves to have that same opportunity.
