42 years of legalized murder.
Today marks the 42nd anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. It is a ruling that allows abortion which is the killing of an unborn child. We’ve got laws that would sentence any person with murder charges the moment that baby is out of the womb. However, according to Roe vs. Wade a person isn’t a person until it can be held and touched.
The thing is though, for all the excuses over why it’s perfectly fine there is one thing that sticks out; Abortion is a self-interest issue. My rights trump a child’s because that child cannot be held or touched. He might have a heartbeat but he’s not a person yet if I can’t see him. No matter the situation when an abortion is chosen, it boils down to people only being interested in themselves. We are a sinful people and this is a sinful issue, lovers of self. It really doesn’t get much plainer than that. I will never understand why people think it’s alright, why there should be a choice. You’re killing a human because you’re selfish. There is no reasoning that can explain that away.
This is an issue that matters. Many people marched in Washington today to give voice to it. I hope my generation is the one to stand up and say that it’s wrong, that its continuation needs to be stopped. With the current lawmakers that is doubtful but there is a glimmer of hope in that plenty of young people realize the atrocity that is carried out daily. You can say plenty of things about Millennials but we are nothing if not passionate people who know that we have a voice and we seek to use them for the betterment of this country. We might be able to do only so much but what we can do we won’t back down from accomplishing.
As a male many people my opinion on this issue shouldn’t matter. After all it’s focused mostly on the women. They’d be wrong though. When I said that it’s an issue of self-interest I meant that for the boys who see this as the only way out as well. Notice I said boys not men because men take responsibility for their actions. They are just as much to blame as the ladies who decide this is the route to take. Maybe for a moment it solves your problem but that isn’t going to last. Murder tends to haunt people, no matter what your rationalization happens to be.
Male or female, the decision to have an abortion is the wrong one. You infringe upon the rights you cling to yourself. People cry for the right to choose, but you steal that right from the humans you kill during a procedure to make your life easier. Get help, it’s out there. Abortion isn’t the answer.
From the perspective of a man who will have to wait years to be a father not months there is nothing more selfish than taking such liberties with the blessings of a child than to kill it because it’s an inconvenience.
