For all the death that goes on in the world, there are those that can be prevented. That is the aborting of the those not yet considered citizens. For every argument there is known to be a definite right and a definite wrong. Or at least very strong an avid supporters on both sides. One side so blatantly hideous and on the reciprocal something seen as near Godliness. I'm not here to determine where this action falls on the line morality. I can only state my opinion from my few years of life experience and observation.
I find this stifling of human life a terrible thing. I do. The life was created and therefore has the right to develop fully and live. That's how I feel. But here comes the complicated thoughts I have that get caught in the crosshairs. What about the US Declaration of Independence? You might say to yourself, what does this have to do with abortion? Here amongst the inalienable rights given to each and every individual, the Declaration states that we each have the right to "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". Right there in the beginning. Let me focus on the right to the pursuit of happiness. There are those out there who frankly do not deserve to have a baby. Specifically those people who see a child as a social accessory, a monthly child-support check or a welfare hand-out. Selfishness such as this is quite saddening. These babies deserve to have a life in "pursuit of happiness". With a life in any one of these situations, these kids have a doomed existence as a burden for a nanny or a daycare facility. This doesn't even take into count the thousands who didn't want a baby to begin with. How much worse it would be to be born into a home in which you were both unwanted, and neglected. Not just in a physical way. The law requires you at least have to feed and shelter the kid. But where's the law that there must also be love? There's not one. This is no life to have. I see no happiness here. And if this trend should continue, the baby will then grow into a neglected teenager. A kid without a loving home and a future to be fated with internal trouble. Maybe I'm being overdramatic, but I've seen it happen.
I find the idea of murdering a baby that looks like a baby, repulsive. Therefore my approval of abortion is approved only at a very, very early stage. Within the week of conception is the only point with which i agree with it, where no cutting is involved. This covers a Friday night lapse in judgement, simple stupidity on the part of an irresponsible person, and rape. This is the only point in which I will mention these instances. I think the bottom line is that if you cannot physically care for a child or simply you do not want one, you can't properly give it the care it needs; violating it's rights as a person. There are those out there who just want to "let the babies live". Let them live? Sure, by outlawing abortion you will let these babies "live". But will they really? They can grow up in their drug-addicted parents homes. They can live their childhood in a room with other toddlers in daycare. They can come home every day from school to an lonely, empty house while their parents work. They can live their lives each and every day knowing they are a burden. A mistake. A friday night mess up. Those out there picketing their signs and yelling their insults, maybe they were an almost abortion. When legally allowing abortion, you'd be hard pressed to enforce a discretionary law as to who and who cannot have one. Maybe some actually should, while others should follow through. But who should say?
For the cause, let's outlaw stupidity as well. Many people would be offended, but I say we go for it. It might stop the need to have abortions in the first place.
