Oh my God...
For the majority of my short life, I have disapproved of the criminally legal practice of abortion.
Horrible, I thought. that anyone could participate in the murdering of an innocent child!
How little did I know how accurate I was when I used the word "murder".
As it is so predictably prone to be, the world is divided in the matter of abortion. Some rightly repel this crime, others alarmingly couldn't care less, and others yet shamefully advocate it.
Why?
That is my question to anyone who reads this.
Why would anyone advocate this bloody carnage, this slaughter......this butchery?
Many people in this "modern" day and selfish age might deem these doctors (I should not even call them doctors...the whole idea of a doctor is one who saves lives, not one who smothers them) saviors. Many might deem these bloodshedders messiahs after they "save" their daughters or their lovers or even just themselves from the "horrible" fate of motherhood.
But, tell me, is becoming a murderer any more pleasant a fate?
You may think it harsh when I use the term "murder". Is it? I think it flawlessly correct.
There are many cruel and horribly inventive ways to kill an infant, it seems. The most common method in the United States is currently the suction cutterage. To quote A Beka Book:
"A tube connected to a suction device is inserted into the mother's womb. The force created by the device tears the child's body apart and draws the pieces into a tube and into a container for disposal."
Put into a container and disposed of like rotten fruit. Is this what we defend at times? Is this what we blindly ignore?
But, there's more. There is the D & C (dilation and curettage) method, in which a curette is used to sever the child's attachment to the mother by scraping away at the womb, after which the child's body is cut into little pieces and--if the child's head is too large--the head will be crushed to fit through the womb's opening.
Or, to quote A Beka Book once more: "...abortionists occasionally use salt poisoning (saline abortion)...Using a long needle, they inject a salt solution (or sometimes urea) into the amniotic sac. This concentrated salt solution is swallowed and inhaled by the child, causing hemorrhaging, shock, and often painful burning of the skin. The child thrashes about as it slowly dies, usually within an hour and a half. The dead child is then delivered through the birth canal within 2-3 days."
Do people really advocate this?
The most common method of all abortion involves an insertion of forceps into the womb to lacerate the baby, drag it out of the womb by way of birth canal, and then after still reassembling the diminutive remains to confirm that no part of the child is left floating in the mother. This method is called D & E (dilation and evacuation).
Of course, there are cases when it is too late to even attempt any of these methods. In these cases, hysterotomy or partial-birth abortions would be performed.
ProChoice.com describes hysterotomy abortion:
"Similar to the Cesarean section, the hysterotomy abortion is a surgical procedure whereby the baby is removed from the mother's womb and allowed to die by neglect or killed by a direct act."
Partial-birth abortion is, I think, the cruelest of them all; because the child comes so close to being able to truly live, comes so close to being born, but is then subjected to a cruel death.
Quoting Brenda Pratt Shafer, who witnessed several partial-birth abortions while working for an Ohio abortionist:
July 9th, 1995
"The baby's body was moving. His little fingers were clasping together. He was kicking his feet. All the while his little head was still stuck inside. Dr. haskell took a pair of scissors and inserted them into the back of the baby's head. Then he opened the scissors up. Then he stuck the high-powered suction tube into the hole and sucked the baby's brains out." (Eternal Word Television Network---http://www.ewtn.com/library/ISSUES/PART.BIRT.TXT)
That sounds to me like a graphic murder scene in a horror novel.
And it sickens me.
According to a recent study done by SoulPants on WordPress, 46 million babies die annually from abortion worldwide. Approximately, one baby aborted every two seconds.
"In the US, an estimated 50 million babies have been aborted since 1973. Approximately, 24% of all US pregnancies end in abortion."
Despite the horror of it, despite the heart-wrenching barbarity of it all, people still advocate it, still perform it, and I think it's shameful.
Their reasons?
The top three would be: negative impact on the mother's life, financial instability, but most abortions are performed because of women's unwillingness to become mothers.
I find these horrible reasons to commit murder.
Overall, I find abortion to be barbarous, animalistic, demoniac, callous, and brutal.
Tell me, is all this truly human?
