Minding My Own Business and Killing People
I saw this little slice of thought provoking prose on Facebook today, and I thought to myself, but isn't it? Isn't it my business? Shouldn't I be concerned that under the guise of "choice" and personal freedom people can regard a human life with such indifference?
I am continually surprised and somewhat disgusted at the argument that people give for pro-choice. What about pro accountability and responsibility? The primary function of sex is procreation and maybe the non primary function is intimacy and connection. So I would argue, should you ever engage in sex without expecting to become pregnant? Sure it feels good, sure it’s an expression of love, or art, freedom of one’s body. Take all the precautions in the world, if pregnancy occurs, you take responsibility, because the entire reason that sex exists at all is to propagate the species. In the U S of A we are indeed quite lucky that women no longer have to give in to the lustful nature of their husbands and perform sex acts on demand. We are incredibly fortunate to have the ability to exercise our right for family planning, and to do so with several methods of birth control legally available. I will never argue the fact that the choices you make with your body are indeed your own to make. So, if you don’t want a baby, make the choice not to have sex. The only infallible method of birth control is abstinence. Seems like a more reasonable request than killing an innocent human being. Abortion is murder, pure and simple, and it’s not your body, it’s the beginning of another body, another human who will eventually be completely free of your body, who doesn't get to choose.
There is no argument.
In regards to the inevitable question of rape and/or incest. My answer is to kill the rapist. If you would like to drill down to the heart of the matter, statistically, According to Web MD, rape is the reason for 13,000 of 1.3 million annual abortions, or 1% of the total. So, there, I’ll give you 1% of the argument, but only because Web MD is a totally legit source.
