*Eyes go side to side quickly as Americaruulz nervously begins her
explanation*
Wow, who knew there'd be so much controversy on my first poem? I guess the best thing for me to do is to back down and let my reviewers win... Maybe gain some status on this site before everyone hates me. But I don't remember ever having done the "best thing" or the smartest thing, for that matter.
So here goes my death wish:
Having never been through an abortion before, I do admit I don't know the pain behind one. But I must say I don't live my life by finding "proof" or "evidence..." I live life strictly by faith... That must be how I get myself into so many messes, come to think of it...
That being said, telling me that just because I haven't seen it or experienced it (whatever the "it" in question may be) that I can't be for or against it will have absolutely no affect whatsoever on me, or my opinions, for that matter.
Abortion is wrong. There is no and's, if's, or but's about it... It's just wrong.
How can I say that? This is a free country! The baby is in that ladies womb and if it's not "convenient" for her, well, than, get rid of it! It has no rights until day of birth, fool!
Maybe according to American standards, that's true... But Christian standards highly disagree. Every child is God's child, even before he/she was placed in the womb. That child also has a mind... Whether fully developed or not. It simply doesn't matter. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Need proof?
Dr. Jerome Lejeune is quoted: "To accept the fact that after fertilization has taken place a new human life has come into being is no longer a matter of taste or opinion... It is plain experimental evidence!"
"When Hitler determined to exterminate the Jews, some German humanists
objected on the basis of the sanctity of life and of natural justice, Hitler
simply defined the Jews as less than fully human, and his critics were
anesthetized. If the Jews were not human, then they did not have human
rights. What a simple solution to an otherwise perplexing problem! The
argument for rights...becomes capricious and merely a matter of definition of
terms by whoever has the power to make his definition stick...When abortion
opponents object that in doing so they destroy other persons - unborn
children - and deprive them of all their rights, the pro-choice party simply
resorts to having the competent power - the Supreme Court - declare that
unborn children are not persons and hence have no rights to interfere with a
woman's freedom of choice." JW Whitehead
"Every woman has these same two questions: First, "Is it a baby?" "No,"
the counselor assures her. "it is a product of conception(or blood clot or
piece of tissue)" Even though these counselors see 6 week babies daily, less
than an inch long, with arms, legs, and eyes that are closed like newborn
puppies, they lie to the women. How many women would actually have an
abortion if they told them the truth?" -Carol Everett
"I hate Christians because I know they are forgiven, and I know God
will never forgive me for what I do." --abortionist, (name withheld) "There was not one abortion doctor who, at some point in the
questioning, did not say, "This is murder." --Pro-choice author Magda Denes ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After reading these, how can you say abortion isn't murder? I'm sorry, but I can't understand how we, as people, can be so lazy and selfish we will literally refuse to admit when we are rationalizing MURDER? It, of course, is absolutely necessary to have sex with someone after a great date or a fiery kiss, but we refuse to face the consequences. Selfish. This poem was based on a friend of mine who told me of her abortion and her experiences. Lastly, just for clarification, I do not hate woman who experience miscarriages or any other form where they accidentally lose their child. Actually, I feel bad for them. That's terrible and beyond their control. I am only against those women who choose to kill their child simply because he/she isn't "convenient." There's a difference, a HUGE difference.
