But again, 91% of women who get that diagnosis do exactly that.
I can have more sympathy for a woman who aborts to spare a child a lifetime of pain from a disease like Downs or Tay-Sachs than a woman who aborts a completely healthy fetus because, hey, that guy wasn't good father material, anyway.
But in any case, that's her choice, not yours and not mine. Which is the point here.
Abortion kills. It is a barbaric practice that caters to the
most selfish kind of narcissism in society- the "it's my body" crowd.
No one wants to look at what it does (pictures are available) No, they want to present their position as noble- "it's the business of the woman; her family; and doctor"- In other words let's keep it all hush hush- because well-
to look at it and talk about isn't very comfortable.
There are also those who wish to make it about women's health- yet less then 1% of abortions are actually performed because a woman's life is in danger. With the advancement of medical treatment even this number could be reduced. You also have the rape and incest advocates- this decision is based on the less then 2% of all abortions. Then we have "the baby was not healthy" group- less than 1%. Those that practice eugenics as if they are doing the baby, instead of themselves a favor-
ask a disabled person sometime how they like breathing.
What we are left with is 95 to 96% of all abortions performed in this country, being for no other reason, then the convenience of the person seeking to kill her child. Yes, 97% of abortions cater to a selfish narcissistic instinct.-SELF.
The bottom line is that abortion serves self. But the wickedness of it, is that it does so at the expense of human life- the individual and uniquely separate, life of another, the developing baby in the womb.
This baby is not a mere mass of cells; a "potential" life. It is a complete human being. Nothing more is added to make it more or less human after implantation takes place. All it needs to be born is to be left to grow in its natural environment. Like the newborn and even the toddler, it needs a care giver. As a society we do not kill because of a need for care to born children.
If a woman truly does feel unprepared for motherhood she can place her child for adoption- but that would require a selfless act. And THAT is what underlies the entire debate...a microscopic look at why abortion happens need go no farther then motivation. At the heart of motive you will find the word "I".
