![]() I adore Beast Wars! 'Nuff said. The Lion King is my favorite movie to this day, it pretty much always has been, and I'm not afraid to admit it. I kinda wish Fanfiction.net would let us indent our paragraphs, but whatever... In 1984, a machine called the terminator was sent back through time from the year 2029 by a computer program known as Skynet to kill a woman named Sarah Connor. She was destined to give birth to a boy named John Connor, who would eventually become the leader of the human resistance after the detonation of atomic bombs on August 28, 1997 which had killed 3 billion people world wide. After John was conceived, Sarah was still running from this terminator. Now, we know this story is fiction, but we all cheer when Sarah delivers the final crushing blow, and we know she and her child are safe. And I have yet to meet one person who cheers on the terminator, except for in jest, perhaps, when he is hunting for Sarah and her unborn child. But when we make the terminator to be human and make Sarah to share the same idea with him concerning the course of action concerning John, we call it abortion, and defend it as an advancement of society. Why are we so afraid of John dying? Well, we might consider the fact that in "The Terminator", Sarah herself was being hunted too, so it's basically undeniable homicide, but we are concerned for John mainly- because he's going to save the world. We don't know what lies in store for any unborn child. So, I think its slightly premature to decide their fate before they're born. That's what the T-800 taught us. And whether a new born child will become the leader of a terrorist organization, or the first black president, I find it a bit irrelevant anyways. But that's me, because I believe fetuses are human lives. If you don't believe life can be considered murder-able when its only a fetus, then it will be hard to argue over anyways, so o.k. But then I would refer you to the "future significance" argument, since I'm sure, even though you wouldn't consider John Connor a living human being when he's in Sarah's womb, you would still sure as heck want him kept alive. So, if you find fetal life only worth saving based on future merit, o.k., I don't think we should go around killing what could be our future Mother Theresa's, or even our Osama Bin Ladin's because we just don't know what lies in store for them. But if you, like me, believe fetuses are human lives, well then future merit, as I said, is irrelevant. What's relevant is that it is an innocent human life. An unscathed work of art. If you're reading this, and you are pro-choice, I would like to assert that I don't claim to know better than you. If what I say is logical, be sure it actually is given the stakes involved with preventing mothers from what many would argue as an untouchable right, as it is an untouchable right if fetal life doesn't matter (well, think of the father's opinion, but that's a totally different topic). If it isn't logical to you, be sure it actually isn't given the stakes of homicide, as it is homicide if fetal life does matter. Your choice. If I'm wrong, you should educate me, since as I said, the stakes are so high. All right then, see ya' 'round. |
