Whether it is the logic of the issue\u2019s presentation, or the frequent statements by Pro-Choice people, I have changed my attitude, and my stance, on the matter of Abortion. Count me as favoring the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This might surprise people who have known me, and are familiar with my views, but henceforth I will advocate against the so-called \u201cPro-Life\u201d positions. In deference to people who have joined these contentious debates with me, as well as readers who might be interested in arguments that have changed \u2013 for they have, in society, for many people in many ways \u2013 I will present my reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are not new with me, for the Abortion debate has been engaged uncountable times. But I will summarize the salient points of my new home, Pro-Choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On second thought\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course these are not my views. But separately or together, they are the views of many people in the United States. And only a few of those concepts are old, \u201coutdated.\u201d For instance, Margaret Sanger warred against \u201cNegroes\u201d who, she believed, had too many children. Today her followers might sound compassionate but still embrace the idea of thinning the \u201cunder-served.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The American culture of consumerism, our throw-away mentality, and the ethos of Life Is Cheap, seduce many people to subscribe to the ideas I listed. \u201cEverybody does it\u201d; \u201cMind your own damn business\u201d; and \u201cWho does it harm?\u201d have supplanted the 10 Commandments.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWho does it harm?\u201d is, of course, a dishonest question that many people are happy to ignore. Of course, Abortion harms the unborn baby. Pretty severely. It is easy to ignore the silent screams, isn\u2019t it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n As to the points above:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026 Democracy does not determine right and wrong. Too often it is a weapon to mask the evil that men do. God does not depend on our opinions of His Commandments.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026 As to easy forms of birth control (hmmm, why is it not called \u201cfetus control\u201d or \u201cblob control\u201d?): Even if government imposed legality, why must the public pay for others\u2019 Abortions-on-Demand? Why force doctors and nurses with consciences to participate in killing babies?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026 Over-population can be addressed by resource-management. If a woman \u201cgets in trouble\u201d (what a bizarre phrase) perhaps kids can learn to stop screwing; perhaps parents, and schools, and oh yeah, the church, can remember how to wisely counsel decent behavior.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026 The not-so-veiled racism of Sanger\u2019s spawn merely proves the French saying that \u201cthe more things change, the more they stay the same.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026 In the end, we realize that Freedom is fungible, at least as we employ it. Freedom to kill babies is literally selective, partial-freedom at best. The Aborted baby is given no \u201cChoice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n How often do people think these things through? If a woman kills her baby, and the father objects, is it \u201cfair\u201d that he has no say in the matter\u2026 especially as the Law says he is obligated for Child Support otherwise. If a baby was aborted, do the parents wonder, years afterward, where and what their child would be like, be doing? A vast majority of babies with birth \u201cdefects\u201d are Aborted these days\u2026 but have you seen a mother\u2019s life that has been transformed, loving for that child she bore?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We have become a Culture of Death, no better than those \u201cprimitive\u201d societies we read about in faraway places and ancient times, that practiced infant sacrifice. Today we sacrifice our children to the gods of convenience and pleasure. Science breaks its back searching for the Origin of Life\u2026 discovering new life-forms\u2026 and desperate to find evidence of Life in the universe. But science \u2013 and so many of us \u2013 have become callous to the practice of killing babies, snuffing out Life.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter the circumstances, God\u2019s Word tells us that every child was known and \u201cformed\u201d by Him in the womb. His ways are mysterious to us, sometimes, but He is sovereign. Did Jesus come to earth to save souls, yet we destroy them first? That is the devil\u2019s job, and joy. And our curse.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n + + +<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n By the way, if you are a reader, or have had this message passed to you, and are somewhere near my pretend-position here \u2013 and if you have been wracked with confusion or guilt or regrets \u2013 you must remember that even Abortion is something that God forgives. Repentance and cries for forgiveness \u201cGod will not despise.\u201d He is the Lord and Giver of Life (yes, a reason we must not play God) and He yearns for fellowship with you\u2026 and helping minister to your problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
