Against abortion

Life's lessons oftentimes are the hardest to learn. In protecting the most vulnerable and helpless of creation, we need to understand that abortion is an extreme measure used to codify murder. The millions of wouldbe newborns whose survival was extinguished either by painfully medicated or surgical procedures reflects the horrific attitude people have embraced for far too long. This reflects so poorly on our “civilized” society.

Planning for parenthood is a wonderful consideration for couples focused on becoming family. The fact that Planned Parenthood thrives predominantly on performing abortions illustrates how their name is more an oxymoron, suggesting otherwise.

Many women claim that they do not want government interference impacting their choices in various instances, e.g. vaccinations, doctors. Yet they will elect to have their officials involved in supporting laws to end life.

Reproductive health care is, sadly, terminology used to allow abortions — not, in actuality, a wellness approach. Reproduction should never infer killing. Rather, assurance of proper care and involvement of others (father, family) would be a positive approach and a means of safeguarding the new life about to arrive.

“In God we trust” is on our currency and the Pledge of Allegiance has our “nation, under God” but we have permitted to erode the principles on which these were established. God made known in His Fifth Commandment that we shall not kill.

People who respect and value life do recognize that adoption and foster care are available options to save innocent babies from carnage.
