With this post I was wanting to face something that is very controversial, abortion. I know that it is very hard  to persuade someone to change their mind on this issue, but that is not my goal of this blog. I just want to express my opinion on the subject.
     First, I want to talk about my old views. Before having kids when I was really young I used to be pro choice. I would never have aborted my own child, but I thought other people had that right to choose. I was very self-absorbed and really only cared about my own feelings and didn't want to start any possible arguments. So I went with the safe view of pro-choice. I'm feel very ashamed to have ever thought aborting a child was okay. It hurts to admit that, but I never gave it any real thought to what was really happening when someone aborted their child. As you have probably guessed I'm pro-life now. This site I'm about to put up has several questions on it about abortion including the most common procedure. If you want the answer you must push the + button beside the question. I must tell everyone that the answers can be very disturbing. Abortion Facts from Planned Parenthood
     I have two wonderful children now and wouldn't trade them for anything. Like I have previously posted I also lost one to a miscarriage. When I miscarried the doctor acted like it wasn't a big deal. He seemed to have no emotion when telling me that my baby had died. He said it was normal and also common. All I could do was cry. In my mind it was anything but normal. Normal would be the last word I would place on such a tragedy. Anyways, from my own loss of a child I realized that mother's who abort their babies, at least some, probably feel even worse. I can't imagine a feeling worse than that, but I think if that happened from my choice that I would never forgive myself. I found this website to show the emotional side effects of an abortion. emotional side effects There are also physical side effect that can result from an abortion. Abortions can also lead to the death of the mother because the procedure opens the mother's uterus exposing it to harmful bacteria.
     Now I want to elaborate more about why I believe abortion is wrong. In our constitution it guarantees that every individual has the right to life. When a child is conceived that child is its own person now. I know that some people believe that it isn't actually alive until it is born, but what kind of logic is that. I find it more of an excuse than actual human logic. I think of abortion as taking a life that had no choice in the matter. It also upsets me when people accidentally get pregnant and have an abortion. There are ways to prevent pregnancy that are very much known and even taught in schools from a young age. We have the tools to prevent pregnancy why should we make an exception for the people who don't use those tools. It just seems like well you can give into your carnal instinct because the government has you covered. Lastly I wanted to post what an actual doctor who used to preform abortion wrote. Doctor's Note It shows that sometimes we are blind before we truly see the truth. Somewhat like me, when I really researched it I saw that sick truth about abortion.
