The Choice To Be Pro Life

I was watching a segment on Fox News and this girl was on there talking about a horrible experience with an abortion. Her child was born alive and into a toilet at the clinic. It was heart breaking to hear her talk about it. It made me really think about what happens to an unborn child during an abortion. Her's had been burned by a salt solution before she was asked to sit on a toilet and push the unborn child out. There are so many ways to have an abortion based on the gestational age of the fetus and that was one of them.

After that segment I spent my time online researching the way that abortions are done. It was a bit horrific to see the images of aborted fetuses. I will not be showing them on this lens. I am not about fear. This is something you will have to do on your own. Please understand my reasons. I am not like a protester that has the pictures of horrific scenes that are used to frighten people.

I have two healthy beautiful children that I love very much and I am thankful that I chose life with me for them. Would your child have chosen life or abortion if it were up to them?

Women and men need to be educated on what happens during an abortion. I'm not going to go on and on about what happens to the unborn fetus during an abortion. It's up to you the person to find out this information and it's a very easy thing to do. I will however explain to you that it's painful to witness. I broke down and cried when I saw a video of an ultrasound guided abortion.

I was an idiot when it came to abortion and what it really was. I was uneducated and I couldn't care less about what happened during an abortion. The only thing I cared about is that a woman should have a choice. The real choice now is birth control of some form. It's our responsibility to protect ourselves from getting pregnant if we're not ready for it.

I can understand about not wanting to expose our children to the education of abortion. They are the innocent and should always be protected. We should however be vigilant in explaining the consequences of sex. We can't be there 24 hours a day to be sure that our kids are making the right choice in life, but we can educate them. When I was a kid I didn't want a baby at all. I wasn't ready for it and thankfully I was never put in a place where I had to make a decision like this. I did make mistakes when I was young though don't get me wrong.

People have lost lives over the debate on abortion. I'm a very emotional person and I can understand getting upset over abortion and trying to make a change. Violence doesn't fix the problem. A life is that a life. Whether it's an unborn child or an adult it's still a life that's being taken.

If you want people to be on your side about an important issue then win them over with facts not fear. Do you really want to be friends with someone who's violent? This issue doesn't have to be tainted with fear. Please educate yourself and others in a manner that gets the point across without harassment. I'm a person who was swayed over to the pro life side without fear or violence.

I have known someone who chose adoption and abortion as her options. It was her form of birth control. She also has three children of her own and she loves them very much. I don't think that she is a bad person at all. Her life has never been easy growing up. She had her first child at the age of fourteen. As you can imagine she had to grow up very fast after that. Her child was adopted and it was the right decision for her and the child. I know it was hard on her after she gave up another child. I personally could never fully imagine what had went through her mind after that choice was made. Some choices in life are the hardest to make.

I am not an overly religious person, but I do have my beliefs. This is my decision that I had to make. Every decision should be your own. Please take what I have said and just think about it. That's all I can and will ask you to do.
