There is a post on the forum today that I have been thinking a lot about today. I did post a response to the original post on the forum and I got as usual an opposing view because they did not agree with what I posted. So I responded that I would not argue my opinion with someone who does not agree and left it at that. Then of course I got another response from the same person but I let it go and did not respond again.
The basis of the original post is about abortion not being allow for victims of rape or incest who became pregnant. The argument is the following:
"The baby did not ask to be conceived and they are innocent and precious no matter how they were conceived."
Okay, I agree with you, every baby is precious and innocent however, that is NOT the issue. The issue is allowing a woman to get an abortion in the case of rape or incest. So there are pages and pages of the original poster saying the same thing over and over and never considering someone else's reasoning behind the abortion to be allowed. So the original poster is NOT argueing about the legality of the abortion they are argueing the "Innocense and Preciousness" of every child conceived.
Technically NONE of us ever ASKED to be conceived or born, it is not possible for a separate egg and sperm to "ask" to be born so why is that even mentioned? Then if you are going to argue the legality and title your post as said legality then please argue the legality of your post NOT other facts. Then and even though last not the least important. IF you have NOT been the victim of rape or incest that resulted in pregnancy then please do NOT disrespect those who have been a victim of one the other or both by saying "I'm sorry that happend to you but......." Until YOU have experienced it YOU have no IDEA what it is like to be a victim of such a horrendous crime.
Then you have the nerve to agree that it is a "horrendous crime" but.......
The baby did not ask to be conceived, the baby is innocent, why should the baby be punished. Yet it is just peachy in your mind to FORCE the Mother who is also the VICTIM to endure the pregnancy and delivery of a child that was forced upon them through a horrendous crime of rape or incest or both?
That is like putting the victim through physical, emotional, mental and spiritual hell because they are a victim yet again from the "legality of abortion" just because the "child did not ask to be born, no matter how they were conceived". So now you have a living breathing child born to a woman who was raped or the victim of incest who did not ask to be raped or involved with incest who has been forced to deliver this child and do what with this child? Keep the child and treat them like trash for the next 18 years because of the pain, anguish and resentment from the Mother that this child is the result of the crimes committed against her? That makes perfect sense, truly it does.
So in my opinion as I stated the victim of rape, incest or both that results in a pregnancy should be legally allowed to have an abortion if they choose to. If they do not choose to then so be it, either way let it be THEIR CHOICE and not yours.
Just another thought along these lines though. IF the Mother is forced to actually deliver this child and she decides to keep this child are YOU going to help PAY FOR THIS CHILD for the next 18 years? Since YOU are the one who has demanded she NOT be allowed to get a legal abortion are YOU going to help her raise this child and pay for it and be responsible for it for 18 years? That is a lot of years to help pay for a child that was forced upon the Mother in the first place.
I bet YOU won't volunteer to help with all of the expense of this child though because I am sure YOU have your OWN FAMILY. One that YOU chose to have, and YOU chose to get pregnant, and YOU chose this responsibility. So do YOU choose to HELP this Mother financially and emotionally? I'm betting not, but that is just a guess on my part.
So, in closing this wrting or today I guess my message is..............
Before YOU start telling someone else how to live their lives and whether they should legally be allowed an abortion be SURE YOU have experienced what they have. IF you have NOT had that experience please don't pretend to know how it feels and definitely do NOT force the legality issue of abortion on them no matter how INNOCENT AND PRECIOUS the unborn child truly is.
Thank you for taking the time out of your life to read my words, I do appreciate it very much......
