Abortion and the right to choose.

There may come a time in every woman’s life where she is faced with a critical decision.  At least, it should be considered a critical decision, but it seems like a growing number of women are choosing to use it as a whim.  Sure, they may always face the horrible sinking feeling whenever they remember what they have done, but they will always do their best to seek justification in their decision.
            A few facts must be considered while thinking about ABORTION.  It is your body, and yes, because God gave us free will it is a woman’s right to do what she wants with it.  Another fact is that as soon as a female’s egg meets the male’s sperm a life has been created.  There is something beautiful growing that will turn into an infant if given the chance.  There is another body growing inside the mother’s. 
            Now imagine that government has taken away the people’s rights; that they are choosing to kill anyone they want to simply because the world is ‘over populated’ and there isn’t enough money to go around.  Or perhaps they have chosen to kill citizens because a person got in the way or was born with a mental deficiency or physical malformation.  This would be considered horrendous right?  Well this is the exact same thing a woman is choosing to do when killing her baby.  She is taking away its life and its choice simply because it does not fit her wants and desires at the time.
            Now remember, it is still a woman’s choice. 
            Granted, there are still times where is becomes a reprehensible necessity.  By necessity I mean something so horrible that has happened to a woman against her choice that it may very well cause her permanent damage mentally or physically.  RAPE, INCEST and MOTHER ENDANGERMENT.
            In the case of RAPE the mother has had no choice because a “man” has decided to force himself on her.  If the mother decides not to have an ABORTION the baby will most likely be a constant reminder of what happened to her.  She has the option of giving that baby away, and kudos to her if she chooses to do that, but again, carrying a baby for 9 months is a physical reminder of that trauma that happened to her.
            INCEST is something a young girl, or even an older girl should never have to go through.  When a “man” decides to abuse his family in such a monstrous way, he is taking away that woman’s right to choose.  As a natural protest of nature, a baby that is conceived in such a way will most likely be born with some deformation, whether it be mentally or physically, and again, it will be a constant reminder to the mother of what has happened to her.
            A woman that has been trying to conceive with her partner for a long time or just wants to become a mother would have a great and sorrowful burden on her mind and heart for the rest of her life if something went wrong with the pregnancy and there were imminent signs of MOTHER ENDANGERMENT.  It would still be the last thing the woman would ever want to do.  Having to have an ABORTION would kill her spirit and she would most likely forever blame herself.
            But outside of these three exceptions, it is still a woman’s choice.
            ABORTION should never be an easy choice.
            Just because a woman chooses to do it doesn’t mean that it is right.
            That beautiful, pure, celestial, innocent, young, perfect, loving spirit deserves their chance, and because the woman carrying them is their mother that the baby loves so very much, they put their life in her hands.
            Just because it’s a woman’s right, doesn’t make it right.

            But it is still a woman’s right to choose.

Empty Fears

America the beautiful
America the great
Instead of preaching love and peace
We are teaching ignorance and hate

There is no real bliss in ignorance
Just us high up in our tower
Not seeing those that need us
We are the world’s superpower

If there were never any immigrants
How empty our country would be
Our descendants all came from somewhere
To make this land one of the free

All religions are rooted in love
So we must practice what we preach
Help the young and needy here
Or see more like Aylan dead on the beach

It is okay to stay on our guard
For it would be foolish to forget our past
But we must set aside our empty fears
And bring our world together at last.


Empty Fears
