I generally stay away from discussions of this type on internet forums like this, but after reading this article, I felt like i had to post something. Family, be aware i will likely ignore/delete your post because i love ya.
Here is the article: http://www.cnn.com/
We all have heard all the arguments before. Is it a baby? Does it have rights? Does one have a right to choose? Etc…
While i will make other points, i want to start off with this: Regardless of your opinion, how does the article make you feel? Anger? Disgust? I would hope you would be hard pressed to find anyone who would side with the doctor in this article. Most would clearly say that is murder. Anyone disagree?
So tell me, how is this any different from regular abortion? One may make a comments related to negligence or how most clinics are more professional etc, but the end result is the same right? If you are an abortion supporter, then you simply shouldn't be bothered by this article. It’s just an unwanted "fetus" that the mother had a right to choose to abort by a doctor, right?
No, your gut is right, you are bothered by the article. We all know it’s wrong, some of us just convince ourselves by making it sound better. Supporters somehow justify abortion with silly arguments that have an appearance of being more intellectual. They even turn it around to justify abortion as somehow more humane and to make it sound good, but if really considered, these justifications are rot with holes and are at best a bad joke.

It’s popular today to seem tolerant. Many say, "i don’t force my opinion on others", and this is usually followed or implied, "so you shouldn't imposes your opinions on others too" LOL this is comical at best, as it actually IS DOING what it says it’s not. A typical example is the people who bash the other people they think are being intolerant, when in reality they are hypocritically being intolerant of people who are intolerant. I've literally seen a sign that says, "intolerance will not be tolerated . Its looks better, while being just as guilty. The idea behind this is, 'truth is subjective'. I heard a story in a college classroom where the professor asked if a person should decide what is right and wrong for themselves. The majority of the class said yes. Later the professor asked if its right for a person to torture and kill kids for fun, the class unanimously answered no, which then proved the point the professor was making; we may think "truth" is subjective to us, but in fact these truths are universal. Please don’t read into this. I’m not referring to futile things like should a person brush their teeth 2 or 3 times a day, Im talking about ultimate truth, whats right and wrog universally. You may have to read this slow or twice: Anyone claiming that “knowing ultimate truth is impossible”... just claimed what they said was impossible.
I heard the "quality of life" used a lot. The argument is this unborn child will have a bad life, poor living conditions or birth defect and thus it’s better for it to die. I honestly am dumbfounded how many people hold this point of view. Think about it, you’re saying that because you THINK a child MIGHT have a life not up to SOME arbitrary standards YOU made up, then they shouldn't be allowed to live. WHO make this determination? Again this is a subjective truth, and this is forcing your view on others. Yes, the exact same argument a typical pro-abortionist makes is the same thing they are guilty of here. How poor is too poor to live? How good does the parenting situation have to be to live? What percentage of chance for downs syndrome is the cut off for life? Come on, thank goodness it wasn't Hollywood that decided for me, my income would never be up to their standard so i would have never been born if left up to the rich, right?
Why don’t we take this a step further? Why don't we start euthanizing people when they become very sick, paralyzed, or lose a limb? Then the next step is killing off the poor and maybe races and or religions of people that we don’t feel come up to our standards or won’t have as happy a life as us? Isn't that the same thing? Well no, because these people CAN TALK, unlike the unborn people.

The longest running argument is: a woman has the right to choose what happens to her body. Absolutely correct. But how are you missing the fact that there is a second body, a second heart, and second set of lungs, and second set of DNA, and second soul, a second brain with thoughts and dreams already, and no one has the right to take its life. Your body is giving it nutrients to grow, just like a mother will continue to do after birth. Saying "the government shouldn't tell me what i can do with my body" is just a feel good cover for murdering kids. What the difference between that and me saying, "The government shouldn't be able to tell me i can’t kill my 2 year old! After all, it’s MY kid!” They have no right to tell me what i can and can’t do. BOTH of these statements are crazy and stupid.
What about rape and incest? No one will deny this is a tough subject and is not to be taken lightly but a crime has a criminal and victims. We always punish the criminals. Killing the child in a case like this is the equivalent of a drunk driver slamming into a family, injuring everyone, affecting everyone lives emotionally and physically, and then executing the children for justice.
Others argue that the government has no right to tell you what you can do. Again, an argument designed with the appearance of being more tolerant, intellectual and plainly just to "sound good", but it rot with holes. You're free in America to do or say just about anything, UNLESS that infringes on someone elses right. Obvious example, you can’t hurt or kill anyone. This is usually where those who support abortion turn it back around on the hypocritical argument I've listed above.
While most of the arguments are practical, the angle or topic that the lawyers use in courts to justify abortion is the question: is an unborn baby a person or not? They disenfranchise the unborn baby, simply based on its current dwelling. I live in Florida and there are turtle nest everywhere and it is a felony to tamper with the eggs because you might harm the unborn turtles. Yet it’s an absolute fact that most of these turtles will die before adulthood by prey in the ocean and air. That sounds like a bad life, shouldn't it be UNFAIR to let them hatch into such a cruel world? There is a show on TV called Whale Wars. It documents the battle for life in the Antarctic against Japanese whalers who kill hundreds of whales a year. What do you think would happen if a person loaded up a large syringe with Drain-0, strapped on some diving gear, and started injecting it into the baby whales while they are still in the womb and saving them from a possible life of terror and become a future orphan? There would be a social and legal outrage!
The point is, America sugar coats the ugly things that they want. They create arguments with the appearance to be intellectual and modern, but are really hypocritical and contradicting to justify these heinous acts. Deny it all you want, you do not have the right to murder, even if it would be convenient or make your life easier. This truth is built into the gut of every rational human being.
