During free time on the College Retreat this weekend I rewatched October Baby. Haven't seen it yet? I suggest you go rent it or even better, buy it. I promise it will be worth the money. Around halfway through the movie I couldn't take sitting there anymore. Between going numb from sitting for so long and the subject matter of the movie I needed to vent. So I grabbed a notebook and went outside and sat in some of God's greatest handiwork in the Smokies. The following is what came from a short 15 minute writing session.
When did we decided Murder was okay? You can spin it whatever way you want, but murder is still murder. Kill a man in cold blood and you go to jail. Kill an unborn child in the name of an abortion and that is just fine. By what logic is that not murder? You are taking the life of a person. Murder is wrong period. Yet somehow abortions are alright. It's not murder then. They aren't people yet. Have you ever looked at a sonogram or seen an ultrasound video? That body you see is a person. It's not tissue or matter, it is a human being.
I hear people screaming for women's rights all the time. 'It's my body so it's my choice.' If there is ever a flimsy argument that is it. These rights you supposedly have are infringing on the rights of that tiny human growing isnide you. He can't speak for himself. She has no choice in whether she lives or dies. Why? Somewhere along the line it became okay to take those rights from that baby who has no voice and throw them away. I mean its your body right? Did you ever ask yourself what would happen if your mother had decided it was her body? Nope. You exist, so what does that matter?
It matters more than you think. See, if she had decided that it was her choice and didn't want you, you wouldn't be here. Funny how all these people who fight for women's rights and say that abortion is okay are already alive. When are we going to stand up and say enough is enough? They have no voice. We need to be that voice. We need to give them the rights we were given. Do you know what they call abortion? They call it the American Holocaust. Only this time instead of killing because of race, death is coming because having a baby is an inconvenience. There was a war fought of Hitler's slaughtering of the Jewish people. But there is no war being fought for the unborn. It is simply deemed okay.
It's not murder because women have a say when it comes to their bodies. If it was murder when Hitler had Jews killed because they didn't look the way he wanted people to look, it's murder when babies are killed because they are an inconvenience. If someone came into a hospital and killed any of those babies after they'd left their mother's wombs it would be considered murder. So what difference does separating that baby by skin and tissue and muscle from the outside world make in whether or not it's a human and has rights of it's own?
I'm a guy who faces jealousy when I see people with kids. From the standpoint of a guy who may or may not ever be blessed with biological children, this senseless act of murder blows me away. As I sit here and write this my heart aches for those who never got a choice. I am literally shaking as my pen crosses this paper. Not entirely a foreign act whem I am writing something I feel strongly about. The act of pouring my heart out on pages usually releases what I assume is adrenaline. It may also be I'm just cold because it's 40 degrees out and I'm sitting outside.
I can't understand what makes people think abortion is okay. I long to be a father. So the mere idea of killing an unborn child is insane to me. Maybe it hits me so hard because abortion means killing a child I would gladly take in and raise if I could. Unfortunately I am only one man and cannot raise all the "unwanted" children in the world.
But I can use this "voice" to give them one and that is exactly what I'm going to do.
Since 1973 roughly 50 million children have been killed through abortion
If you haven't seen it and are over the age of sixteen I would suggest going to 180movie.com and watching the documentary. If you are younger than that, have a parent watch it first and then let them decide whether you should see it.
