The part of the whole Abortion debate that bothers me is how both sides have turned it into a Black and White issue when it is clearly not.
I can understand what some of the Anti Abortionists are saying about Human life being destroyed. The simple fact is that Abortion does destroy a potential human life. I am totally opposed to any type of late term Abortions unless it is to save the womans life. Even though it is the womans body there is another life inside her that she is accountable for.
That being said I am a Man. I can never know what a woman goes through being pregnant. I don't have to carry that child. It isnt my call to make for her.
How can I sit there and tell a woman who is pregnant from rape she has to carry that child. Even though that pregnancy was forced upon her I am supposed to tell her that she has to risk her mind and body so that baby can be born. IMO that is Evil.
How can I tell a 13 year girl that is a victim of Incest that it is Gods will that she has that baby? Who the hell am I to make that call for her?
Some people like to make out that women that get abortions dont give it any thought into what their doing, and they are carefree when they go through with it. I am sure that there are some women out there that use abortion as a form of Birth Control, but that is between them and their God.
Most women that get an abortion don't take that decision lightly IMO. I am not God. I cannot see into their heart. That is their cross to bear.
I have two sons that love I more than anything on this earth. I thank god everyday for them. However I told my wife long ago that if I ever find myself in the position to were a doctor tells me that it is either the life of my unborn child or my wife. I am choosing my Wife. If my wife is ever pregnant again and she comes to me and tells me that she cannot mentally go through carrying that child to term I won't object to her getting an abortion. That is her body and mind not mine.
I don't like abortion personally and I don't know anyone who does. I don't think there is a Doctor or Woman out there that gets kicks out of Abortion, but I refuse to demonize or judge any woman that finds herself walking into an Abortion Clinic. I could never know what brought her to that decision.
Abortion isn't a pretty thing. It isn't something that I like to even think about, however it is not my call to make. I am not that Woman's judge. It is her choice not mine.
