We have actual crying babies, partially out of the womb, being killed in abortions. Obama voted for what amounts to "infanticide" in Illinois. The abhorrent nature of partial birth abortion is something I can't stomach or tolerate, sorry! I think I am a reasonable and rational person, and I am not some far-right religious zealot who wants to impose my religious beliefs on others, I just think that unborn human life should be afforded some level of human rights. I think revisiting Roe v. Wade and establishing some base criteria and exceptions is in order, and should happen. What we are currently doing is insane and inhumane, and needs to stop! That doesn't mean that all abortions under all circumstances need to be outlawed, but can't we agree there is a very huge 'middle ground' here, where we can reach some sort of reasonable compromise?
The solution is to euthanize the fetus in the womb. Take a case of a woman having a problem pregnancy. She wants the child so attempts to bring it to term. As time passes her condition worsens (hypertension, diabetes) resulting in damage to her eyes. While she may not go completely blind, although that is a possibility, her eyesight will diminish to the point where she will no longer be able to do her job. There are jobs that require a certain level of uncorrected eyesight such as Pilot, Court Officer, certain Armed Forces jobs, etc). So, let’s say she has two other children. Should she be forced to carry this pregnancy to term resulting in eye damage, loss of job and throwing her entire family into poverty?
My major concern about abortion is this... While some are screaming about women's rights to choose, no one is talking about the MILLIONS of women who have gotten abortions and lived to regret their decision. You see, no one ever told them how they would feel about it after the fact. When you take the life of another human, I don't care what the circumstance, it has an effect on you as a person. I am okay with allowing women to get an abortion after counseling, after carefully considering the decision and its ramifications, and after acknowledging this is really what they want to do. I don't want to see a day where women can't get an abortion under any circumstance. I don't think my viewpoint is extreme or intolerant, nor does it deny women any right they should have.
Have you ever thought of how society plays a big part in affecting how a woman feels after having an abortion? People holding up signs claiming “MURDERER”, “BABY KILLER”, etc. are going to affect the woman.
The first step to reducing abortion is to set in place programs that help women who do decide to bear a child. Young people see their peers struggling and ending up in poverty due to them having bared a child before they completed their education. From assisting a single Mom to acquire the necessary supplies prior to the birth (crib, stroller, clothes, etc.) to resources such as child care when returning to work if society is really interested in the child’s and mother’s welfare those programs would have been implemented a long time ago. However, by forcing a woman to bear a child then by not having those programs, by not offering assistance, by deliberately letting the woman and child fend for themselves the only conclusion that can be drawn is people want the mother and child to suffer.
When a woman is sitting around with friends having tea and biscuits and lamenting having chosen abortion explain to them they wouldn’t be having tea and biscuits if they hadn’t had the abortion. They would be lamenting the inadequate dinner they served due to a lack of money because they didn’t have child care so they could hold a job. The fact is they probably wouldn’t be lamenting at all, to anyone, as their friends would be at the
coffee tea shop and she wouldn’t be there because there was no one to look after the baby nor could she afford to go.
Poverty. Isolation. Day after day. Now there’s something to lament!
