Hmmm
The recent abortion "stuff" has gotten me thinking, so feel free to ignore this or tell me I'm wrong or what-have-you. (I'm not too naive to think that what is said here has any meaning whatsoever)
When does life begin?
The pro-life answer is pretty simple, at conception. You might be able to argue the less rigid back to about 1 month, (after the heart and brain are formed,) but that's about it.
What about the pro-abortion viewpoint? Is it birth?
If a man kills a woman and she has an unborn baby, it counts as two murders. Say a man stabs a pregnant woman in the stomach and her baby is killed. Could she get him tried for murder? Yes. What if she was planning on having an abortion the next day? Do you think she would still consider it murder? If you talk to a woman carrying a baby, (let's make her pretty damn pregnant, too, like 8 months,) I'm pretty sure she won't refer to it as some "thing" growing within her. She counts it as a "life" growing within her, feeling it move, kick, suck its thumb, whatever. She's been carrying that life for 8 months now, could she stand to see it killed? And it CAN be killed, can't it? A baby can be murdered in the womb, and yet the method of murder determines whether or not it is a life or not?
No, it's WANT.
A baby that is wanted can be murdered. A baby that is wanted is alive for nine months before it ever sees the light of day. A baby that is wanted is protected.
And a baby that is not wanted...is nothing, not even alive.
Can you justify that difference, pro-abortionists? Can you justify why some women have lives in them and some just have bags of unliving flesh?
Abortion isn't about living or unliving anymore, it's not about the right of a woman to control her body, no. It's about pure and simple WANT.
The pro-life idea never changes. But the pro-abortion sentiment changes depending on the wants of those involved. Can we say the idea of when life begins can change on individual tastes? That seems purely illogical. But if you look at abortion as a tool of desire, to say that if a woman wants a child, it is alive, and if it is not wanted, then it is merely a bag of flesh...then your sentiment could easily continue.
Think about it. We define life as having meaning only when somebody is wanted. Baby is wanted, life. Baby is unwanted, fleshbag. Continue that past birth. Unwanted kids? Not worth living. Unwanted people? Not worth living.
Perhaps some pro-abortion people DO think like that...in any case, it's a subjective brand of labeling that really terrifies me.
What a "crapped" up world.
