DISCLAIMER; This post is not in judgement of anyone who has had an abortion. I would never do that. I love my people. This is about the act of abortion and how absolutely detestable it is.
...concerning Roe Vs. Wade, keep my mouth shut one more second. Just when I think I have heard the stupidest argument that could be raised in favor of killing a child, someone comes along and ups the ante. I have, for the most part kept my mouth shut on Facebook, other than some rejoicing on the day of the verdict, notice I said rejoicing, not gloating, and I have reposted some memes. But I have not spoken my mind. I have, with GREAT restraint, kept my thoughts to myself.
I have always, always, been pro-life. In high school I was pretty much alone in my thinking. I took the brunt of a lot of verbal abuse in some of my classes because I was outspoken about it. I had read literature about it that horrified me, and seen pictures that made me want to throw up. This was back in the day when ultrasounds were not routine and fetuses were considered little more than clumps of cells. Since that time the science has caught up with what is happening inside the womb and there is little doubt that babies are just that...babies. Children. Tiny humans. With fingerprints, heartbeats, brain activity, eyesight...and pain. Don't ask me where I read it, but I came across an article not long ago that suggested that infants in the womb actually feel more intense pain that those that are born. For the sixty million that have lost their lives violently through abortion, that just chilled me.
With the recent revelations of Project Veritas and the video of Planned Parenthood chopping up and selling baby parts, abortion become not just horrible to me, but literally, unthinkable. Then a few weeks ago came the scandal of the 115 babies in a box found in Maryland...as if that wasn't sick enough...that there were 115 babies in a box labeled medical waste, and that five of them were full term...we found out that the destination of these children was to a power plant. For fuel.
So when the verdict came down from SCOTUS (and I never thought they would have the guts to do it) I rejoiced. My heart leapt. No I am not stupid enough to think abortion has ended in America. I am aware that several states will now take this to the nth degree and make it legal to kill your baby up to a month after it's born (CA, NY, CT, to name a few). But I know a lot of states will step up and close it down. And that makes me happy. Because there is no excuse...NO reason good enough to rip off it's arms and legs and then cut the vocal cords of a child so no one can hear it scream, and suck out it's brain. And then cut it up and sell the organs. NO REASON is good enough for this. Not rape, as awful and traumatic as that is, which is of course the number one argument, second only to incest. Both of those are absolutely hideous and I acknowledge that. And I actually don't think that is a stupid argument, it's a valid argument. But still not enough to kill the resulting baby. Not for the sake of convenience, because you just don't want kids right now. Not for financial reasons. Not for a career. Not because there are too many foster kids in the world. I swear if I hear that argument one more time I'm going to rip my ears off! Foster kids are glad to be alive and are fully capable of having great lives as adults even if their early lives aren't ideal. No there aren't enough foster parents. But to use the argument that abortion is ok because there are too many foster kids is ridiculous. Yes more republicans pro lifers should foster. So should more democrats. Women's health care? Abortion is not health care, it's just simply ending a life. And for the record, has nothing to do with miscarriage or spontaneous abortion, which is something you do NOT have a choice about. And SCOTUS has nothing to say about miscarriage. All fifty states allow the actual health care that comes with miscarriage. Nothing is going to change about that. Women's rights? Nope. Not your blood, not your DNA, not your fingerprints, not your body. And that tiny woman that is borrowing your uterus for awhile has a right that trumps every right you think have, and that is the right to live.
I was thinking about my dog today. When he got old and had cancer we had to put him down. He's just a dog. But they gave him an anesthetic before they put him down. To do otherwise would have been cruel. And barbaric. We were so gentle with him and so was the vet, not wanting to cause him any pain. And he was just a dog. A great dog, but still, just a dog.
But we are barbaric with our unborn humans. I heard Whoopi say "Abortion is a choice between a woman and her child". Whoopi is a special kind of stupid. If it's a child, then why are you aborting it, Whoopi? And I bet the child would have something to say about it. How do I know this? Because I'M that child. And so are you. And so is every single person who has ever been born since the dawn of time. I'm saying it! I would want to be born! You would want to be born! And I guarantee you, so does that child.
I heard someone say our most basic human rights were being taken away. I beg to differ. Our Constitution says we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Without life there is nothing else. No liberty. No pursuit of happiness. Everything is foundational on the first. Without it we are nothing. Nada. Zero. Zilch. There is nothing, NOTHING more basic than that.
