I'm male and don't have to worry about pregnancy so perhaps I sound a little selfish.
The reason I have a position on abortion is related to personal experiences with women that have had abortions and each and every one of them feel guilty for having had one. These women include non-Christians, one a Buddhists, one atheist and one Christian. They all hate themselves or go instantly in their shell if the word abortion is uttered.
One can argue that all life is precious but if roaches were found on Mars today tomorrows headlines would read Life on Mars. I kill germs, and all vermin that invade my space and everything i consume has once lived with the exception of some liquids.
Life is a miracle and shouldn't be taken needlessly regardless if it resides in a plant, an insect or a mammal including the human. Choosing to end life should be equal to a hearing on a crime met with capital punishment in humans in my opinion. It doesn't matter if it is the woman or the man or both that decide to end life to me as it is equal to the issuance of the death sentence as if the life had committed a crime. |
