Abortion

This topic has worn at my heart for some time now and I couldn't put off writing about it any longer. One of the most ridiculous defenses I have heard in the response to abortion is "you're a man and you have no right to tell a woman what to do with her body." In a sense you are correct but since women aren't asexual and can't reproduce on their own I will voice my opinion. Furthermore when a woman does have a baby and a man tells her "since you decided to have the baby you take care of it since you wanted it." Neither statement should be used as justification to have an abortion or not take care of a child. On one hand it's why we have so many abortions and on the other the reason we have so many absent fathers. Absent father now there is a paradox for you. I think those two statements classify as pure unadulterated ignorance. There are only one hundred ways to prevent pregnancy, maybe I'm exaggerating but I'm not being facetious. If you haven't guessed it yet I am pro-life. This won't be a malicious attack on women at all, just a few reasons why I'm pro-life. The fact that our president is a professing Christian which I now beg to differ. His stance on this topic alone is why I was disgusted with his inauguration and the use of MLK's bible. He doesn't share the same passion or have the same views on a topic which MLK stood boldly against but you wouldn't know until you read and come across it as I did.

I often wonder what was the significance of Roe v. Wade if there is still deliberation going on in our society. To date the total number is above fifty million. Think about this, if society finally decides that abortion is legal there will be justification for all who did such and the doctors who go into the practice of since this is a lucrative medical practice. On the other hand, if not the history of America will be tarnished with infant genocide. When   I read my Bible the first blessing God bestowed upon man in Genesis 1: 28 was to be fruitful and multiply. Abortion is the adverse of that. So for those of us who are Christians and profess we love God but agree with abortion live openly in rebellion to God's blessing. One thing that leaves me completely baffled is when people say that pregnancy was an accident. Please help me understand how sexual intercourse which is an intentional act can preclude a pregnancy that is labeled accidental. Consequences follow actions be them good or bad. Supporters of abortion try to use as a red herring the horrific circumstance of rape or incest which only one percent of women have reported; I'm wouldn't be opposed to rape or incest and the percentage of abortions caused by these acts won't even cause a minor difference in the number of abortions. My prayers to those affected by rape and incest and may God have mercy on the perpetrators. 

 Abortion clinics are geographically located in Black American or Brown American, poverty stricken/ low income areas. Is this coincidence, don't be naive, please. Areas that have no shortage of below average education, employment and opportunities to succeed; also there is no shortage of abortion clinics. Did you know that blacks are now the minority once again and are out numbered by our Hispanic brothers and sisters? The saying goes number don't lie, among white women for every one thousand babies born 138 are aborted and amongst black women 501 are aborted, that's just about five to one. We have a black president but our population is in a steady decline. I quote " if you only know what one tells you, you know nothing at all." Along with jail and drugs blacks are just as impoverished as ever. Don't dare say if I made it you can, someone helped you make it; who are you helping? I don't have the physical power but spiritually I do so I commit myself to prayer for change and for my people to come out of their state of oblivion. 

“The Negro cannot win as long as he is willing to sacrifice the lives of his children for comfort and safety.” How can the “Dream” survive if we murder the children? Every aborted baby is like a slave in the womb of his or her mother. The mother decides his or her fate. - MLK

I was reading my Bible I was in Isaiah 49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet I will not forget thee. That verse cut deeply, why would God make such a reference; then at the same time we have mothers who do such. Let's look at Hosea 9:11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception; No birth, no pregnancy, no conception is this reference pure coincidence I think not. Lastly  Ecclesiastes 11:5 As though knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh them all. These references to the womb of a woman aren't coincidence, instead God uses them as comparisons to His chosen people Deuteronomy 14:2. Life is extremely precious. Without life you wouldn't be reading this, enjoying the family you love dearly, your walk-in closet full of clothes and shoes or upcoming vacation trips. Every life is valuable even those that aren't born yet and those to come. I could write ad nauseum about this topic, but I'll leave you with this. In China there is a one-child policy. Parents with more than one child don't get the same benefits as those with one child. In some cases mothers are forced to abort against their will. Can you imagine such? Or having to give birth at home and living secretly to avoid the government that tries to confiscate your child. Moreover ten percent of women in America are infertile, they consider women who have the option for abortion blessed. I pray that if you are pro-choice you reconsider your stance on this issue. God's Blessing and love to all.
