Ask yourself this question before reading: Where do you draw the line on abortion?
Former vice-presidential candidate of the doomed-before-it-got-started GOP 2012 campaign, Paul Ryan stated that he hopes to live in a world where abortion is not even a consideration. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/11/paul-ryan-abortion_n_3065932.html Of course some of the media (actually only MSNBC) criticized the conservative senator for losing women's attention, respect, and possible votes.
Back in the 1970's when Roe v. Wade happened some argued that if we let abortion become legal then that would open the way for all kinds of abortions to happen. Some of the opposing side used the argument that the conservative side was non-sense and stated:
- all the court case did was allow a woman to choose for herself what to do with her body
- abortion should be a constitutional right.
- no one would ever take it to the next level.
Since then we have things called late-term abortions. Back in the early 1990's this was the new argument and both sides dug in again to state their case. Again, the argument was that it could open the way for other issues of abortions to be allowed and on other side the same argument of all it did was allow a woman to choose for herself what to do with her body. Then in the late 1990's we had what was called partial-birth abortions. Same arguments. Yet, here we are again and now we hear how of a doctor in Philadelphia has "aborted" babies that were outside the womb.
The slippery slope argument is not a defense anymore in this world. The culture of the world has gotten so disgusting that the slopes have all vanished. Abortions have gotten worse. The court case has not saved women from back alley abortions like they say. All it did was give precedent for more ways to be aborted. It is not a legitimate defense against conservative values. For in the past 40 years we have seen abortions go from unaccepted to protected by law to procedures being expanded to out right murder. How can anyone argue against it now? Easily, liberalism will find a way to rationalize what the doctor has done. Once the baby is out it is not about the woman's body anymore. But, watch. The new argument will be about how in a world where health care is so hard to get that people will do drastic things this.
This though is where Mr. Ryan's hope comes in. The problem actually is not with abortion. It is with the culture that feels it is an option. It is a culture that feels sex now, pay later. A culture to where the only consequences are paid by someone else. It would be a better world if abortion was not an option because people did the right things when it came to sexual practices.
If you can read these two articles from the links below and not feel the evils about abortion then you have no heart, no conscience, no soul.
Maybe we can finally open our eyes and see that abortion can be rationalized but not be rational. It is murder. Case closed. Sooner or later someone will win a court case that allows someone to kill another based on the constitution. Don't believe that? Those who say this is just another slippery slope argument or that this will be an isolated case will only have to look at history to understand they are wrong. The slippery slope has slipped down the slope.
Adoption...the only alternative choice.
For those who have had abortions, take heart, there is forgiveness. God can heal the pain.
