Abortion

     This is a hot button issue for many people. I would like to share my stance on the topic. I'm just going to go ahead and jump right into it. I am against abortion. However, I am not blind to the issue. I have studied it and I realize their are many moral issues surrounding this. Now many people who are for abortion are quite concerned with women's rights. I share their concerns. However, nobody should have the power to decide whether another person lives or dies; especially if that person is unable to defend or speak for themselves. If men were the ones who gave birth, I would say the exact same thing. This has nothing to do with being sexist. No man or woman should ever have the power to decide whether someone lives or dies. I am all for women's rights and true, it is their body but nobody gets to decide if the baby lives or dies. The baby is innocent. It's just the way it goes. If you don't want the baby, then give it up for adoption.
    Now what if the woman was raped? I sympathize with any women who had to go through such an atrocity. The rapist should definitely be brought to justice but again, you have to start thinking that the baby is an innocent as well. Doesn't the baby deserve to live?
     If you support abortion then let me ask you this. What if you were aborted or what if your mother considered abortion? The baby isn't a thing. It's a human being and that is the most precious thing on earth. I have a few friends who went through with an abortion and they told me that it was the most emotionally traumatic thing that they ever went through. You can tell yourself that it's your right but you are completely disregarding the life of the baby. That is a fact. I am not saying this to try to suppress your rights. I am trying to get you to look at all the ramifications. Women definitely go through some unique challenges. Like many of the decisions we make, they don't just affect us. I have respect for women everywhere for just enduring. I especially have tremendous respect for mothers. There is no love like a mother's love. I believe mothers definitely have a unique perspective on this issue. If you wish to talk to me about this then feel free to do so. I will respect your views. I only ask that you respect mine
