I think less of my best friend because she supports abortion.
Now, I don't want pro-abortion people coming on here, saying that I just want to take away women's rights! It's her body! Let me ask you this: Is your baby an organ? Is the child inside of you an exact match of your DNA? No? Now, is this possibly because the child is not, in fact, a part of your body but a whole separate being?
Do you know how abortions are performed? Do you? There's a couple of different ways. There's the one where a liquid is injected into the amniotic fluid that burns the babies lungs until it dies. But that one resulted in too many inconvenient live births. There's the one where a drug is injected into the babies heart, stopping it. Or there's the suction method. You know, the one where that 'clump of cells' tries to wiggle away from it. Or, when the baby is too big, the most horrible one. The one where the abortionist sticks a metal instrument into your vagina, grips, and pulls. This is the one where the baby is pulled apart alive, even as it tries to escape the grip of those sharp metal instruments.
Oh, it's not alive you say? Aliveness is measured at birth? But, if we found a single cell on Mars, it would be celebrated as being proof there there is life on Mars. Why is that life any different on Earth? Also, we know a person has died when their heart stops beating. We take a pulse and try to revive them. If life ends when the heart stops beating, doesn't it stand to reason that life begins when the heart starts beating? (The heart starts to beat at about 6 weeks, FYI.)
As a woman, you have every right to have sex. You have every right to take condoms, and use birth control. What you should not have is the right to murder a child.
So many people were proud of that Wendy lady in Texas. Hours and hours standing, arguing for the right to rip your child limb from limb. Do you know what she was arguing against? Do you? She was arguing against a law that would require abortion facilities to be up to surgical code. It would require abortionists to have admitting facilities at a hospital. And it would outlaw abortions after 20 weeks. 20 Weeks. That's five months. You really couldn't decide whether or not to murder your child until five months had passed? You had to wait until it could feel pain? Pro-aborts claim they are all for the woman. But they don't want abortion facilities to have to be up to surgical standards? As long as they get them, it doesn't matter how dirty it is, is that how it goes?
And don't you dare tell me that there babies can't feel pain. When my sister was pregnant, her baby responded to touch and cold way before 20 weeks. She would put an ice pack on her ribs, and he would scoot away, because he didn't like it. He could feel.
I think that women who are raped should have the option of abortion. But do you really want another act of violence to come out of the violence that was done to you?
Everyone rails about how great Planned Parenthood is. Did you know that they don't report cases of abuse? Like when thirteen year old children are brought in pregnant. Abortions allow the abuser to get away with it again and again.
Did you hear about that guy in prison who gave his girlfriend an abortion drug, and it killed their baby? I guess I don't understand why he got in trouble. Women choose to do that all the time (with or without their boyfriend's consent). And they get no prison time. I understand that it is her body, but not actually. Her body is a temporary house for a different body. Her baby is not an exact replica of her body, so it is not only her body at stake.
My best friend posted a picture on her blog of a woman getting a back alley abortion. The notes under it talked about how kind the people were at her abortion, and how it was clean and surgical. Her experience is an exception, not the norm. Remember Gosnell's House of Horrors? No, that's because the mainstream media didn't report on it. Look it up. That is much more common than other abortion facilities.
Did you also know that the woman that started Planned Parenthood was a big proponent of eugenics? She put Planned Parenthoods in poor black neighborhoods because she thought they were of an inferior race. That's where many Planned Parenthoods are to this day.
Now, some people have had good experiences there. I will say that. But the bad far outweighs the good.
Every time I see anything about abortion or how women should be the superior gender on my friend's blog, it makes me sick. It makes me so sad that she actually thinks this way. She supports abortion, so I assume she has no respect for life. She has fallen into the 'me-generation.' Why should people take responsibility for their actions? If you have sex, you might get pregnant. You shouldn't be able to just suck out all the evidence. If you don't want a baby, don't have sex. Or, give it up for adoption!
There are thousands of families waiting for babies to adopt. Why is it okay to murder your child, but not to give them a good life? I guarantee that anybody asked would rather be born and adopted, than ripped apart in the womb.
I am so sad that she believes all of this nonsense. I don't know how I can look at her or talk to her the same. I am so sad that she has so little disregard for the most vulnerable of our society: unborn babies.
My nephew is two months old today. Five, six months ago it would have been legal to kill him. This child is the light of my family. We love him to death. But it would have been okay to kill him. It would have been okay to burn his lungs, or rip his tiny arms and legs off. And if he was born alive? Well, as Gosnell showed us, you can just let him die alone, or drown them, or open their skulls up and suck out their brains as they're coming out of the birth canal.
So many states don't require women to have counseling, or ultrasounds. Some women never see the babies moving inside of them. Oh, it's not a baby it it's unwanted, you argue. But if a woman wants the child, it is. Whether or not a child is wanted is not the deciding factor of personhood. You know what is? Whether or not that child has human DNA. Do they? Is their heart beating? Some states don't ban late term abortions. Washington state, for example, has a cut-off date of 24 weeks (according to my quick Google search). Babies born at 22 weeks survive. Why is it okay to kill a child that would live on its own outside of the womb?
Did I gross you out? Do you not believe that this is how abortions are performed? Did you believe everything Planned Parenthood, and pro-abortion websites told you, about how painless and quick and easy it is? How you'll feel so great and free? I guess they never mentioned the percentage of women who experience intense depression and suicidal thoughts after having abortions. I urge you to look up some real facts on abortion. Not on pro-abortion websites. Try pro-life websites, life lifesitenews.com. Or, even just watch a video of an abortion being performed. Due a quick search for Gosnell House of Horrors. People were stunned and disgusted by him. But the sad thing is, his story isn't unusual in its gruesomeness and murder. What is unusual is the fact that he got caught.
I am so heartbroken that my best friend has bought into the lies about how having an abortion is so great, and so freeing. She has either ignored or not seen the horror stories, the women who spiraled into depression because they know they murdered their children. Or the fact that there are more than five million missing children in the United States alone. These are children who could have been adopted and loved, or even raised by their mother, if only they had been given a chance.
