A Really Touchy Subject

A certain subject has been on my mind lately and I just have to get it off my chest. It's an extremely touchy subject and you pretty much can never have a conversation about it without offending someone, but this is my blog so I figured I have the right to post anything I want and you have the right to not read it. The subject I'm referring to is abortion. Uh oh, is probably what you're thinking right now, but here goes nothing.

I guess this subject has become more important to me ever since we elected a Pro-Choice president and he decided to spend our tax dollars to provide women all over the world with abortions. My personal belief is that abortion is murder of a human life, unless there is a serious reason for it. And when I say serious I mean things such as tubal pregnancies that will bring death upon the mother and child. In this case, the pregnancy is terminated immediately and the baby hasn't had much time to develop into a being. I know the age old excuse has been rape or incest, and I guess I can understand why someone would not want to carry a baby in that circumstance and for that particular reason I guess I don't have much of an opinion. Just that if you are raped, you should be responsible enough to get yourself checked out ASAP and as soon as you can possibly find out you're pregnant then you decide right then and there whether or not to terminate the pregnancy. Not 3, 4, or 5 months down the road. What infuriates me is women who use abortion as birth control. They are irresponsible and have unprotected sex and then go to the clinic and take care of their problem. Are you kidding me?! Is that not murder?! Because the way I look at it is like this; there have been people in my life that inconvenienced me in major ways but does that give me the right to take away their life? No!!!! I fully believe in self defense and being able to protect yourself against criminals, even if that means killing them, but to take away a life of a human that has never had the chance to harm anyone is absolutely crazy!!! Women's rights my ass! What really gets me is the same people that believe in the right to abortion do NOT believe in my right to own a gun to protect my family against violent criminals. Seriously?! Anyway, before this gets too out of hand, I want to get to my true intended point.

Last Sunday a prominent abortion provider in KS, Dr. Tiller, was murdered while attending church (first of all I want to know what kind of church he's attending). Of course, this enraged Pro-Choice people and they just couldn't understand why this man was murdered. My only response to those people is "it's okay for this man to have killed thousands of babies, but it's not okay that someone killed him?" How ironic. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't believe it was right to have murdered the man, but I will be completely honest about my feelings on this matter. I'm not saddened one bit by his death and that's just the honest truth. In fact, I am a little relieved that this sick individual will no longer be able to harm our babies. Does that mean I wish death upon every abortion provider, absolutely not. But this man was of extreme evil. He provided abortions at such points as 26 weeks. Now if you do the math, that's over 6 months! All of you mothers out there know exactly how developed your baby is at 26 weeks and know that it's even possible for them to survive if they were born that early. So to say that he was not committing murder is mind blowing to me. Why does our government allow this to go on? Is it because we are so afraid of infringing on some one's rights that we don't put a stop to it or what? I just don't understand it! But for anyone out there that doesn't have much of an opinion about abortion; I want to leave you with this:

I assure you, this diagram is not nearly as gruesome as some of the other pictures I could have posted on here. If you still don't have much of an opinion about this, I encourage you to google partial birth abortion and check out some of the images. I guarantee you will feel differently about it after seeing some of the real life photos. It's absolutely heart breaking.
