Room for thinking about abortion

When one becomes pregnant, why in the name of abortion is it legal to kill him or her in the womb if we don’t want them for whatever reason?

Maybe we feel it was an accident, or it is the wrong sex, or it is not formed the way we would like.

Why don’t we wait until they are born, then if we don’t want them for what ever reason, just take them to the doctor and ask to have him or her killed?

Obnoxious thought isn’t it, but what is the difference in the womb or born, they are still a child, and one of God’s creations?

The pro-abortion people say that it is not child until it is born, but if I was to hit a pregnant woman and cause her unborn child to die I would be had up for murder of an unborn child.

We scream and yell when 20 or so are killed in a school shooting, but how many thousand are killed on that same day in the name of abortion in the world.

Room for thought isn’t it? And then there is the other side, the thousands of women and couples that are not able to have a child. Why don’t we do more about adoption instead of killing the unborn child, bring it to term and have it adopted.

There are thousands that would love the opportunity to give them the love that they deserve.

Perhaps, me now being in my 80s, I have a different set of values than the current generation, but I know that even amongst our own family and friends, we have young ones who are spending thousands to try and get a child.
