The summary of hard facts is 45 million Americans died from abortions according to that site that AmCan linked to. That’s almost as much as all the people killed in world war 2 and many times more than the Nazis killed in the holocaust.
Obviously I’m religious, but I can understand that many people don’t have any religious beliefs since the Bible states so many times that the “thing” inside a woman is a child, even before it’s born. By the Christian definition, an abortion is the same as killing a child. Again, many people don’t have a religion and that’s their choice so that probably doesn’t mean anything.
The issue is not trying to control what a woman does with their body. The thing many democrats don’t get is we’re dealing with two lives, not just the life of a woman. I don’t agree that a woman has the right to kill a child. Just like no one has the right to kill another person, unprovoked that is.
You can’t just kill a child because it’s “unwanted”. That’s what adoption and orphanages are for. Do you think someone has the right to walk into an orphanage and gas a building of children because they are “unwanted” or “have no future”? That’s what people do to animals in shelters, they put them down because they are “unwanted”. That’s what China does to control population, they kill off female children, which in my opinion, isn’t right.
Dominque is right about education, which is obviously something we need more of. Especially with parents telling their children not to kill their children in fear of them finding out about it. It’s a little different when a woman is going to die in birth, I can see that as one of the few exceptions since someone is going to die in the end. The woman is probably terrified about dying and wants to be safe so there has to be a choice. So if the baby was smart enough, I’m sure it would be just as terrified, but it’s not knowledgeable enough yet to understand.
That’s why there should be no question about it if no life is at risk, an abortion should be outlawed. Imagine if no one’s life is at stake, but you are chosen to die against your will anyways, like at a Nazi death camp. It’s the same thing with babies, only they aren’t smart enough to protest. They should be born and given away, especially in the case of rape. There is no reason for them to die, most of the time even the rapist doesn’t even get the death penalty over it.
Thats recycling human life at a record speed, the orphaned baby girl grows up with the same defect and then has to die giving birth to another orphaned baby girl who then has to die giving birth to another… Is that preservation of life or perpetuation of death?
That’s an interesting question. Do we really have the right to to end the life of a defected person? During the holocaust in world war 2, it wasn’t just Jews who died. Hitler ordered the deaths of “defected” people, which was a precursor to his “Final Solution” idea. Of course in the US, we do it for different reasons such as ending a potentially painful life, even though we never know if that life will be painful or not. Both reasonings come down to the same end result of death, where the person dying has no choice and that is not what democracy and “woman’s rights” is about, as the woman is not the one dying here.
The war is a whole different story, there are religious extremists, who again, think they have the right to kill American lives in 9/11. They made their choice to declare war on us and they are now receiving judgment for their actions. That’s another thing about the democrats, they don’t understand that when we kill woman and children in other countries, they are casualties of war, they were not the targets and it wasn’t intentional. Yet these muslims go and purposely bomb innocent people in suicide bombs, not aimed at the military troops, but woman and children. They intentionally killed hundreds of thousands more their own woman and children than we did in the war! They purposely killed their own people (similar to abortion) and they aimed to kill our own civilians on 9/11. Yet… the democrats have some reason to justify their actions as something we have no right to respond to.
Funny… how democrats are all “against the war” all the time, yet Bush had the highest presidential approval rating OF ALL TIME when we chose to go to war. I highly doubt that half of country (democrats) somehow was not part of that 90-95% that approved of Bush going to war in the days after 9/11 and the 75% with him when we went into Iraq:
People seem to forget that stuff, I’ve always supported the war. So many people get all caught up with the media hype and “follow the pack” and claim that they never supported any wars when things got bad (not being responsible). So here’s all this “Bush bashing” when 95% of you supported him going into the war. I clearly remember 9/11 and will never forget my feelings that day just like those in the generation who will never forget the attack on pearl harbor and the Nazi holocaust and standing up against murderers worldwide and helping people who are too weak to defend themselves. But, many democrats seem to easily forget stuff like that and hold money and economy over honor and life…
I’m religious, so I guess obviously I am going to say I choose God and life first over country and money every day. Unless you’ve walked through the valley of death, you may never deeply understand what life really is or what my reasoning is that no choice should ever be allowed to kill someone except in combat and life and death decisions.
