ABORTION: Murder or Birth Control
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008ABORTION: Murder, or Birth Control? Hey, y’all. I’m baaack. Had a guest last week, but I’m here to rant another day. We welcome all comments here, even dissenters. This is the
Abortion. A touchy subject. Tough. I hope all mothers read this. Feel free to mention this blog to anyone you care to. Is conception the beginning of life? I believe God intended it to be. Interested in hearing from anyone who doesn’t think so, and why.
Roe v. Wade never should’ve passed. It isn’t the job of the Supreme Court to legislate from the Bench. Abortion is an issue each state should decide via voters … us … the people. Yeah, old news. Here’s my twist. We fight for the right of the unborn baby. Has anyone thought about the expectant mother? “But, Kelly, the expectant mother is the one terminating the pregnancy. Since she obviously wants to rid herself of the child, what is there to consider?“
Plenty. Some of the expectant moms are kids themselves, and don’t know what to do. They take the “logical,“ easy way out. Sometimes their parents agree, sometime they don’t. Doesn’t much matter anymore. A parent doesn’t always have the right to discuss their teen’s medical condition with the doctor. When those girls get older and want to start a family, might that unhappy memory they shoved down, resurface?
Has anyone thought of the women who get abortions when they aren’t in the Jesus camp? What happens if they join after the fact? How do ya think they feel about their past actions? Their problem, right? What about all the women who ache to hold a baby, to rock a little one to sleep, yet are unable to conceive? Anyone ever thought that an aborted baby could fill those empty arms? How saddened is a mother with no child? Tough luck, I guess.
“But, Kelly, if the choice is taken away, those pregnant gals will seek out the back-alley doctors with dirty coat-hangers!” A “choice” is which of the 31 flavors of ice cream ya wanna order. Only God has the right over life and death. Unrepentant killers are punished. That’s what prisons are for. (Yeah, and Hell too.) In all the examples above, women suffer—at least those with a conscience, those with a heart. Numerous females get abortions without really thinking about the long-term repercussions. Is there any way for such girls/women to recover? Any way to overcome the crippling guilt? My answer is … no. I’ve had two abortions, and I still harbor the horror. I can say I made mistakes. I can tell myself the Lord forgives me, so I should forgive myself. I can spout my anguish through five years of therapy. Forgive myself? Ain’t gonna happen. Ever. When I’m in Heaven, and I haveta stand before God, what the heck can I say in my defense?
I do know I never would’ve gone to a “back-alley” doctor. I never would’ve done something illegal. Gee, Supreme Court, thanks for giving me a choice. I’ll never forget it. Yeah, I just revealed something about myself that damages my reputation. Yeah, I know the Internet is forever. Yeah, I know people are gonna call me a hypocrite. I’ve told y’all, my life is an open book. If I can help one person by layin’ myself bare, I’ll do it. Those who truly love me, still will. If I can live with killing two of my children, I guess I can live with those who think less of me—I’m on their side.
So, and ya knew I wasn’t gonna end on that note, what I said above is my opinion. On to politics, as we have an election approaching. Here are the irrefutable facts. Recently, Barack Obama addressed Planned Parenthood (even their name offends me). He stated, “My first act as President will be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) into law.“ Ever heard of it? Let me enlighten you.The ‘Freedom of Choice Act’ pretty much overturns all federal and state limitations on abortion, making partial-birth abortion legal again. It’ll repeal all parental notice laws on abortion, and provide unlimited tax funding of abortions. Who pays taxes? Most of us do. So, you wouldn’t have an abortion, but you’ll pay for someone else’s?What’s also reprehensible is that O-bortion is trying to disguise his liberal, radical views. Truth: He voted four times in the
Forget about the freakin’ economy for a minute. We’ll get to that in a few days. Those of you Christians voting for O-bortion, how can you justify your vote? Archbishop Charles Chaput labeled Barack Obama the “most committed” abortion-rights candidate from a major party in 35 years. (He’d be correct.)
Yeah, I’m in your face. Yeah, I’m makin’ enemies. Yeah, I’m losin’ friends. Guess what? I betcha Jesus is givin’ me the thumbs up. I think I can survive if He’s my only friend.
