This is a very controversial topic. Here is my perspective.
I was a failed abortion. Let me say that again. I was a failed abortion. My mother tried to kill me when i was still in the womb and i survived. If you have read my past articles you know about my horrible childhood but not how it affected me. The purpose of this article is to tell you how my upbringing affected me and why i think abortion is murder. I still have the scars from where the forceps tore my skin in multiple places and i will never look at my mom the same after learning she tried to murder me without second thought.
My first reason why abortion is murder comes from our judicial system. The law says that if a pregnant mom is murdered or killed intentionally or by accident, the perpetrator is charged with double homicide. This law means a lot to me because it gives me a little bit of hope for our government. Being a failed abortion is surrounded by so much negative stigma that I was pretty much told to finish what the doctors started on multiple occasions by people I thought I could trust. Suicide is another way that people try to compartmentalize people. If a person is suicidal and cries out for help people usually call them things such as attention seeking, dumb, and a word I hate to use: retarded. People make us to believe that we can go to adults for help when we feel like this when in fact I have had more adults than people my own age tell me that I should kill myself.
My next point comes from my own experiences. Being a survivor of this socially acceptable genocide has permanently affected me in many ways. I have asperger's syndrome and mild to moderate autism. I am 80-85% deaf in both ears and I have a very slight stutter. The things we do to justify this killing are way beyond all logic or reasoning. We say things such as; "Its not alive till it's born," "It's her body, let her choose." To disprove these facts i have some facts of my own. A baby's heart starts beating in the 5th week of pregnancy or the third week after conception. The baby's brain begins to function in the same week as the heart does. According to scientists the standards of life are brain activity and heartbeat. Following that logic, babies are alive according to science, the third week after conception.
My final point is the fact of the sanctity of all life, born or unborn. In the bible it says that man was created in God's image. Later it says that from my mothers womb you knew me. God talks a lot about how all life is sacred. Like i have said in a past article God tells us to love our enemies. The word for love in the greek here is phileo which means brotherly love and acceptance. He means that even the enemies of the churches lives are sacred and we shouldn't try to end them. He tells us later in the same verse that the sun rises for both the good people and the bad. That means that good things can happen to anyone as a part of God's plan. Even though my mother tried to kill me, neglected and abused me, i still love her. She is still my mom. See ya next week.
