Pinterest boards and perfect Instagram photos make Baby Showers seem like a lavish right of passage for mothers. Everyone seems to have a party to celebrate their pregnancy or do something with family that indicates excitement surrounding the future birth of their child. While in reality, Gallup Polling reports that 50 percent of women are Pro-Choice, which is the ideology that thwarts the idea of Baby Showers or any hype concerning birth. To those in the Pro-Choice camp, on paper, pregnancy is an annoyance and can be avoided or ignored. At the same time, by the same people, money is flooding into the child clothing and essentials industry (Baby Shower gifts). The hypocrisy that we see here is staggering.
Spending hundreds of dollars on a mass of lifeless and unemotional cell groups sounds completely thought out and understandable, to some. Of course, as a soon to be parent of a currently inhuman fetus, throwing a lavish shower to prepare for your rights-less tumor to arrive is completely acceptable. Millennialpersonalfinance.com reports that on average, Millennial’s (the greatest supporter of abortion) will spend between $2,128- $7,604 on newborn essentials before the child is even born, before the child is deemed alive.
Pro Choice people: You throw big parties, you cry, you post perfect Instagram photos with the baby emoji, you awkwardly rub your friend's belly, but according to your ballot, aborting the fetus days after the baby shower should be a basic right to all women everywhere.
Also, you and your affiliates claim that life does not start at conception, but at birth, yet you say outrageous things like, “He’s going to love this.” “He’s a growing boy.” “She already loves her daddy.” “Her favorite music to listen to is Yo Gabba Gabba.” “I think she is an ESFP.”
And how can you justify the kicking sensation you feel? If life begins at birth, how can something so lifeless seem to be playing in the World Cup while still residing in your womb?
Here are the facts:
Half of American women think that life starts when the baby takes his or her first breath out of the womb. That’s five out of ten. According to Planned Parenthood, three out of ten women will get an abortion in their lifetime. Do the math and you find that 20 percent of women support ending pregnancies but are not willing to end their own; that is like supporting a war you refuse to be a soldier in, or voting for a candidate in a country you don’t live in. And while 20 percent may not seem like much, that is 31.4 million women. 31.4 million women who will vote Pro-Choice and support child murder, but will not get one themselves. Supporting an idea you do not want to be a part of, to me, that is a massive logical fallacy.
Now, I understand supporting groups that have a small voice with a massive impact. I understand standing up for people who cannot stand up for themselves. But how, with a clean and clear conscience, can you slap a Pro-Choice bumper sticker on the mini van you drive your children around in? Can you look in your son’s eyes and tell him that at one point, his mother could have ended his life prematurely and believes others have the right to do so to their own? How can someone with human decency tell their child that they had no rights and were not capable of love or life while they hid inside their mother’s womb? How is it that the most superior creation, humans, have less respect for their unborn than some animals do (Lions, Bears, Monkeys, Birds)? Supporting the idea of abortion devalues not only the life of the unborn, but also the born, those how are allowed to survive. The better mother is not the, “I could have aborted you but I didn’t” mother; the best mother is the, “From the moment I learned of you, I loved you” mother. Are not children more inclined to love and treasure someone who has accepted us from the beginning instead of the one who was toying with the idea of our ultimate doom?
A Pro-Choice stance does not allow you to celebrate life or a pregnancy. To those who are Pro-Choice and throwing a baby shower. To those in the 20 percent range, I have to wonder if you care about your children or if you blindly casted a vote, ignorant of the subliminal messages behind it. As American’s we need to fully understand the ramifications of current topics before we cast a vote for or against them.
