For the most part, I try to keep upbeat. Sometimes, I fail at this attempt. Recently, I have found that it is more of a struggle with some of the ideas in our world. I am utterly devastated and appalled at the views on abortion. I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that in my lifetime they would be stating that killing another human being is a right…that they label it not as killing another human being, but women’s reproductive health. What is healthy about damaging a woman by the devastating physical and emotional procedure of exterminating a living being? The procedure itself is pretty barbaric. Sucking the baby out, or dismantling the baby to sell the parts. Some claim that it is not a baby yet. I believe that life begins at conception. According to even an older medical encyclopedia that has a copyright of 1965, claims that development at the end of the first month (way before you realize you are pregnant), the brain, heart, liver and spine are already developed. I am sure that at this date, they are more aware of earlier development.

When did we become a nation that sold human body parts for profit? This is a midterm election year and a lot of politicians are using this issue as part of their campaign. I just can’t believe it!! “Vote for me! I’m all for killing babies for profit.” Of course, they don’t say that…no one would vote for them then. Killing babies is big business. Planned Parenthood, should really be called Planned Un-parenthood, because that’s where they get their money and lots of politicians are backed by Planned Parenthood. Would they push so hard for abortion if they weren’t getting donations from Planned Parenthood?

Our state will have the debate of abortion on the ballot this November. People are being brain-washed into thinking it’s a good idea and it will probably pass. The devastation of this being written in the Constitution will make it irreversible. This, if passed, would be the most extreme in all the world. It would allow termination of babies after birth, during birth. It would allow minors to be sterilized, get puberty blockers and sex change surgery without parental consent or knowledge. Part of the wording of this proposal states that it would “allow the state to regulate abortion in some cases”. So, if a parent didn’t want their child to have an abortion, and the state wanted to give them one. You would not have a choice, your child would not have a choice. This does not sound like freedom to me. It also states that this proposal on the ballot would” Allow state to regulate abortion after fetal viability“. I had to look up fetal viability and this is what I discovered: “Fetal viability is the ability of a human fetus to survive outside the uterus.” So, this proposal is saying that even if a baby can survive outside the uterus, it would be up to the state whether that baby lives or dies. This seems pretty barbaric to me. Seems rather holocaustic. Even if you are pro-abortion, this proposal seems way too extreme. When you give the state the right to determine who lives or dies.

Of course their are no pat answers for things that happen in our world, but… could it be that the mindset of it’s “okay” to abort a baby and not have a reverence for life, has caused a lot of these shootings? If we don’t consider life the most valuable thing there is, what does that say about us?

I realize this is a downer post. It is just something that I am struggling with. As a disclaimer: These are my thoughts and everyone has them.
