Abortion has been a very controversial issue sweeping the nation for decades. Should a mother have the right to terminate the life of the child inside of her before he or she is born, or should the child inside of her have the right to live? I could go on and on about defending the rights of the life of the child inside of the mother and I already have in previous articles; however, that is not the focus of the words I am about to share.
No matter what you believe, whether you take the pro-life or pro-choice stance, an abortion is NEVER something that should EVER be celebrated. The celebratory posts I have seen regarding the overturned abortion law in Texas make me sick to my stomach. Why do people find the right to stop life from happening as something to be celebrated?
Whether you believe what is inside the mother is considered life or not, how could the topic of abortion possibly be something that is acclaimed? You might be thinking that it's all about woman's rights and them being given the choice. However, this is not a positive choice for anyone to make, unlike for example, women receiving the ability to vote. This is different. This is a woman deciding if she would like to keep or lose the life of the baby inside of her.
What a traumatizing and horrific decision for someone to make, and people are actually turning that horrific decision into a celebration? I think if more people were educated on what actually takes place in the procedure of an abortion, the celebration would turn into mourn and grief.
Most abortions come along with horrible psychological side effects for the mother, such as depression, shame, guilt, relationship issues, and anger. While this is not true for every women, this just goes to show how tragic this event can be.
Yet people continue to celebrate, such as the Daily Show who tweeted: "Celebrate the #SCOTUS ruling! Go knock someone up in Texas!" What a vile, disgraceful way to turn something so tragic into a joke.
Not to mention, Cosmopolitan's tweet in February saying: "Texas women are having more babies since Planned Parenthood was defunded." While there may not seem to be anything wrong about that statement, Cosmopolitan concluded the tweet with a frowning face.
Why are people upset that women are choosing to have babies? I would like people such as Cosmopolitan to just provide a reason as to why deciding to have a child is a negative issue in any way.
It is truly sickening that people are becoming so uneducated as to what an abortion entails and the traumatic effects that come along with it that they are choosing to celebrate it. What a messed up world. I urge you to pray for an educated generation that rises up against this disgracefulness – a generation that is not afraid to differentiate between wrong and right, a generation that brings this nation back to what it once was before.
