Misery of the unborn
In her recent letter, Cheryl Rollings makes numerous claims that abortion should be kept legal. She primarily makes the claim based on the safety of women who are seeking abortions. Ms. Rollings states, “it’s difficult to imagine that abortion in the U.S. could actually be criminalized once again.”
Although I am sure her claims are heart felt, nowhere in her article does she explain what abortion is. It seems that once a definition for abortion is given, her quote would be ridiculous. Abortion is: intentionally killing an innocent human being prior to biological separation from her mother.
I understand some readers may disagree with this definition, so allow me to break it down. “Abortion is intentionally killing,” simply denotes the purpose of an abortion is to intentionally and permanently stop the growth of a human being. If we cut down a tree, we permanently stop it from growing and we kill it.
“An innocent human being,” carries with it the meaning of that the unborn growing being has human parents, human DNA, and if nurtured grows into an adult human being. All of these demonstrate that the biologically growing entity inside of the mother is a human being. What else could it be? If one says, “it’s a blob of tissue,” they are missing two points. One is that we are all blobs of tissue, and the second is that this “blob of tissue” is nurtured becomes an adult. This definition also means the unborn child has not committed any crime other than being alive and in a location that is inconvenient to the mother.
“Prior to biological separation from the mother,” means that during an abortion, the unborn child is killed (stopped from living) while still inside of her mother. If this definition is spelled out, abortion becomes: intentionally and permanently stopping the growth of a human being, whose only crime is to be living and located where she is unwanted, before she leaves her mother.
In order to clarify Ms. Rolling’s comments: “it’s difficult to image that,” intentionally killing an innocent human being prior to biological separation from her mother, “in the U.S. could actually be criminalized once again.” Once we know what the terms mean, it seems there is something wrong with her defending the lives of women, the overwhelming majority of whom have made the choice to participate in activities leading to pregnancy, at the expense of killing children who do not have a choice.
Near the conclusion of the article, Rollings writes, “the lives of our mothers, daughters, and granddaughters are at stake.” How true she is. For if abortion took the lives of our mothers, we would not be here; and if abortion claims the lives of our daughters and granddaughters, we will destroy the lives of young ladies yet to be born. The real misery is not for the women who have to take responsibility of their actions, but for the unborn children who never receive the opportunity to do so.
