The Almighty Uterus

A women's right to choose, a women's right to privacy, a women's right to control her own body. Every child a wanted child. Keep your religion off of my body. Coat hangers and back alleys, terminate a pregnancy, rape, insect, health of the mother, when the pope gets pregnant. I have heard every possible argument for and against abortion for the last forty years and 48 million abortions later we are still seperated by vacuous slogans. Liberal feminists who should be applauding the first female VP candidate for the GOP and for choosing to have five children and a career are instead fuming that this same woman decided to have a disabled baby rather than "terminate her pregnancy." HYPOCRACY!!!! It was HER BABY AND HER CHOICE!
If women want control over their own bodies, why don't they take control and stop getting pregnant or accept reality? As a married woman, most birth control did not work for me and I have the medical records to prove it. I lost three babies in miscarriage and had three children. I was pressured to have an abortion because of my health and the undefined health of my child but staunchly refused. This makes me neither a saint or religious freak. It makes me a realist and responsible for my own body. To kill an innocent child because difficult things occur or modern medicine doesn't always give the wanted results is the most selfish act possible.
 
More education? Ask any young white girl what Justin Timberlake is doing these days, she will be able to tell you. Ask a young black girl her favorite rap artist and she will give you her answer. Ask the older of the races who won Dancing With The Stars or who won the emmy for best actor, chances are they can tell you. But they don't know the danger of unprotected sex? Haven't heard of STDs and Aids? It's all bull and everyone knows it. They know the truth and they just don't care. There is free birth control in every major city in America and the number of adoption applicants each year out-numbers the number of abortions. Every child is wanted by someone. Feminists use to say "If you don't want them to have abortions then you sign up to take their child." Another useless slogan. I took reponsibility for my body and my actions.
 
Instead of worshiping a loving God who is the creator of all life, we have Margaret Sanger's negative eugenics and Planned Parenthood's tax supported abortion mills. As impossible as it seems some have survived abortions and there is a fight to refuse medical care for that infant. (You certainly can't do that to an illegal alien or any other patient in an American emergency room.) To refuse to give medical care to an abortion survivor is inhumane and barbaric! It is out of the women's body and can no long harm her or take any "right" she may have. This human life has nothing to do with religion or politics but of human decency. Mr. Obama has said that he is opposed to a bill to give aid to an abortion survivor because it might have a negative effect on Roe V. Wade. For Liberals, Roe V. Wade now trumps everything. Whoever thought that the uterus would become "the almighty".
 
I heard Bill O'Reilly suggest that many women who publicly support abortion rights actually feel so much guilt and shame over their own abortions that facing the reality of their "choice" is too painful. I believe he is correct. Our loving God is forgiving and WILL forgive a repentant heart no matter what the sin.
 
While like all Americans, I am concerned about terrorism, the economy, immigration, lying media, etc I am most concerned about human life and what we do with it. If a man or woman will not protect an innocect, helpless human being he or she will not, cannot help our nation. They will have no part in my life. They will have neither my taxes, support or respect. I know we can do better on abortion but will we? 
 
If you have never taken a public stand on opposing abortion this is the time. If not now, when?

What Happened To Our Conscience?

In 1970, 71 and 72, I became involved with Human Life, an organization working to prevent abortion from becoming legal. We typed letters, informing people of the ramifications of making a law that said you were justified in murdering your unborn child. We telephoned people in our community, asking them their opinion on legalizing abortion. We marched in the street and some appeared on TV, explaining why we were pro-Life and asking for support. 

We often had guest speakers, leaders in the community, pro-Life lawyers, etc. One speaker in particular, was very intelligent and articulate and said something I will never forget. 

"Today, the unborn are referred to as a product of conception, a blob of tissue, but remember this. If abortion becomes legal they will one day say....We know it is a human life, a baby, but we don't care." 

I have thought of her words almost every day since hearing them and that is exactly what abortion has come to. In the years leading up to Roe. V. Wade, rape, insest and the life of the mother were the reasons for allowing legal abortion. In 2008 the reasons go far beyond that. Many under age girls have abortions without their parents knowing and many women have had several. Abortion on demand for conveinence, birth control and many other excuses. There have been a staggering 40 million abortions in America which also means that that many women who either don't have any respect for human life, by not believing in a loving God who creates life, or are regretting their decision. I also believe that many women who say they are pro-choice do so because of the guilt and shame they feel for having an abortion and don't want to admit that they made a bad decision. 

I have never had an abortion but I do know that many women grieve over their decision before they have an abortion but that process is nothing like the grief that comes from knowing that you have taken the life of your own flesh and blood. I have been faced with a difficult pregnency but knew that I could not destroy my child, who is now a beautiful 30 year old wife, mother and teacher. 

Can America turn back to a time when all life was worth saving and nurturing because it was created by a loving God? I believe we can, but it will take commitment and hard work. Abortion on demand for any reason? We can do better than this.
