Abortion…& why I’m against it.
Apr 9th, 2008 by jessi3ca
Even though ‘The Miracle of Life’ movie almost made me pass out, I truly think pregnancy is amazing. Did you know before a baby is even born it’s heart will beat over 65 billion times? Also, it’s what makes a child apart of you & someone you love(hopefully!) but it’s also what makes them a completely different person.
This is something that I usually avoid talking about, because of the many arguments it leads to. But, since this is my site I’m gonna just say how I feel about it. No one can’t stop me :) I’ll go ahead & tell you, I’m very very against abortion.
A lot of people argue that women should be able to have abortion if they’re pregnant by a man who raped them. I can understand that. But, there’s still the fact that the baby had nothing to do with that awful thing. It’s like the scene in the movie North Country(it’s really good if you haven’t seen it). The woman who stars as the main character was raped by her teacher when she was 16. She becomes pregnant with his baby. She gives birth to his son & raises him on her on. Whenever he asked about where his daddy was, she just told him he died in the army. Well, in a series of events her son finds out the truth when he’s 13. He gets angry and runs to his aunts house because he believes his mother just slept with her teacher for grades. When he cools down he walks home & she is waiting for him on the porch. When he sat beside her she told him the whole truth about what happened.
“I honestly didn’t want you. My stomach grew everyday and it just reminded me what happened. But one night, while I was sitting on my bed you moved inside of me. I’d never felt anything so delicate, like a small butterfly. It was then I realized you were not his baby, you were my baby. And that ugliness had nothing to do with you. ”
That scene was just…I don’t know how to say it…personal. It was like you could feel how much she loved her son. The decision is up to any woman, but after I saw that, I know I could never give up my child if I were raped. That baby deserves a chance.
The only other thing I can think of right now of why a woman would have an abortion would be because she simply wouldn’t want it. I can NOT stand that. First of all, everyone knows you have a chance of getting pregnant whenever you have sex. Abortion shouldn’t be treated as somewhat of a late birth control. Second of all, there are MILLIONS of couples who would do ANYTHING to have a child of their own. If you have the baby, they would love to ‘ease your problems’ by raising and loving your child when it’s really a blessing from God that you’re losing. So, if you don’t want your baby why not give to someone who does? And finally third of all, I’d rather have 5 children without drugs naturally than have an abortion. Not a lot of girls know what they’re getting into when they make that trip to the doctor. Well, they cut your stomach open like a C-Section but then comes this vacuum-looking tube and it sucks the fetus out. Yeah, it’s awful. They say a lot of women who have an abortion are haunted by the cry of their babies. I say bless the little pure souls who never had the chance to experience what we take for granted. Life.
