Essay

Well, Steph, I am going to kind of take after your evolution blog in this post.

Just yesterday, I finished my essay that I wrote on abortion. I knew that this practice was sinful, sad and sickening before, but after doing a ton of research on it, I find it even more troubling. Over 42 million unborn babies are being murdered every year worldwide...that is an outrageous amount. The reasons that people are coming up with to get abortions is equally disturbing...most of the reasons given are personal, such as a lack of time and finances, feelings of immaturity to raise a child, and killing the baby because it is a boy when a girl is wanted or vice versa What about adoption? In addition, the way that these babies are being killed is flat out disturbing. It is so sad to think of all the small beating hearts being stopped. I cannot follow the argument that "fetuses (which is just latin for 'baby') are not actually human babies...what else would they be?! They have human DNA, they have beating hearts, so it seems like the logical thing to think here is that these are in fact alive, human infants. Their blood is screaming out on the doctors' and mothers' hands. It is awful to think that this practice is allowed and even encouraged in this country.

Anyhow, I just wanted to share that blurb with the class...thanks for reading.

  1. I know, it is SO sad. 42 million humans murdered a year under the disguise that someone somehow had a right to end a life.
    I want to read your whole essay sometime, k?

  2. Wow. I could totally get riled up with this just like with Evolution. WHERE IS THE KINDNESS? If you didn't want a baby in the first place stop sleepen around! People are just so stupid (sad but true) when it comes to endorphins.
    First they want drugs, than reproduction (without the production part), than they want more drugs and more reproduction! OMW! It is called being inventive! Ride a bike! Drink some coffee! Have a birthday/sleepover!
    What makes me angry is how so many people are just so ignorant. If endorphins hurt I can presume that we would not have nearly as many problems as we do today with the crime issues. Crime just turns me on. People can be so insensitive to how others feel. GRRRR!!!!
    Sin totally chaps my hide .
    Sorry for the long post!

  3. What a rant! Abortion is a messy subject. Pastor Chip (I think) spoke about this on the radio and gave different situations, but of course this was at 11: 30 at night so I fell asleep and missed most of it. But I think the biggest part of abortion, as spurdnar said, is people purposely sleeping around and thinking it's all cool. Well, it's not.
