Let's Talk Abortion
Alright, as many of you may know, a lot of the comments on this blog have, one way or the other, been brought to the subject of Abortion, or Institutionalized Murder as I like to call it, so I decided to dedicate an entire post to the subject and how I feel about it. Let me give you a quick bit of background information so you're not completely in the dark on this topic and where I stand. Abortion is wrong, it is murder, it is the termination of a living organism, whether you want to aknowledge the fact that it is living or not. I am against all forms of abortion, unless their are EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES. AN exacmple of extreme circumstances would be a scenario brought up in a comment. A 12 year old little girl gets raped and gets pregnant, she is to undeveloped to handle child birth and dies, the baby dies anyway. That is where I would be for an abortion. If the mothers life is in danger and the baby is going to die anyway. In this situation you might as well, and I don't mean to sound too harsh, cut your losses. Now that you have somewhat of an understanding of what I'm all about, let's begin this little rant.
Let's begin with a vocabulary review. The word "Life" is defined as "The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism." This defination comes from www.dictionary.com . I'd like to point out a few pieces of information from that definiation. One thing in peticular I'd like to highlight is the characteristics it gives in what distinguishes between life and death; those being metabolism, growth, reproduction and response to stimuli or adaptation to the enviornment. Now, let's take these words and ask ourselves if a "Fetus" has any of these. Metabolism, yes, it digests what it's mothers body gives it and uses it in order to develope. Growth, if you deny that a fetus grows, you need to be beaten with a large sack of hammers. Reproduction, no, but niether does a new born, which all liberals consider living. Adaptation, this is a difficult one to be honest with you. Does a fetus adapt to the enviornment around it during its 9 months in the womb? Again, if you deny this, you need to be beaten with a large sack of hammers. So, according to this definition, a fetus holds 3 out of 4 characteristics of a living creature, just as many as a new born baby...isn't that something? If you can tell me, after reading this definition, that a fetus is not a living being, then go for it, but good luck at trying to persuade me into believing anything different.
Well, what the hell, since we looked at the defination of Life, we might as well see what we get when we look up the word abortion. Abortion is defined, via the same source as, "The premature expulsion of a nonviable fetus from the uterus; a miscarriage." Nothing too knew their, I think we all what abortion is, we all just have different interpretations of it. My interpretaion of Abortion, as I stated earlier, is Institutional Murder. We sent Dr. Kavorkian to prison for helping the elderly kill themselves, and yet we allow Abortion? Yet another way that the Left is against the muder of innocents one day, and for it the next.
Now that we know what the words "life" and "abortion" mean, I say we get a little more in depth with this discussion. Like I have stated before, I believe abortion to be murder, nothing more and nothing less. I see no difference between a person being mugged and killed on the streets in LA or New York and a woman going to a murder (abortion) clinic and terminating the life of an innocent, living, human. One thing I don't understand about the Left is that they have an absolut hatred for War, and yet at the same time are handing out shirts that say "I Had An Abortion" at murder clinics. Next time someone states that they are for abortion, ask them if they are for the War on Terrorism/Iraq. WHEN, not if, but WHEN, they state that they are against it, ask them very kindly, this question: So, you think that it is wrong, and uncivilized to capture, but not kill mind you, an evil despotic dictator, but at the exact same time you believe it to be OK to murder human who hasn't done anything to anyone? I swear to you they will not know what to say to you in that situation, they will be absolutly dumb-founded, but what else is new for The Left, right?
Since we have looked at my stance when it comes to calling abortion murder, let's take a look at some arguments that will be brought up against this post. First order of business, hell it might even be the ONLY argument they have, is Rape. For the longest time I had no idea, what-so-ever to say when this was brought up in support of abortion. Then I thought "Wait a minute here...if a man rapes a girl, why should they terminate the baby? The baby didn't do a thing to anyone." I can understand the fact that the girl will probably not want to look at the baby because of horrible, traumatic, memories it might bring up, but there is a very simple answer for that...its called "Adoption"...ever heard of it? That baby didn't get her raped, so why punish it? Am I saying that its the girls fault that she got raped? Absolutly not, and assuming so would be nothing more then a Michael Moore-esque twist of the truth. The only person that should be punished for the rape of that girl is the rapist himself. I find it funny that you think if a girl gets raped she should have be able to have an abortion, thus punishing the innocent fetus for something it had nothing to do with, but you believe that the Rapist should go to REHAP! That is absolutly rediculous, but also for another post.
Well, folks, there you have it, we have reached the end of yet another rant by Whitey McCracka, I hope you have enjoyed it, and I also hope that you found it thought provoking and educational. Take care, and God Bless.

- You use some pretty lax reasoning there, Whitey. If you are going to use a definition as your source, then you need to consider the whole definition, not just the parts that you can argue for. The definition states that Life is manifested by, but not excluded to, growth, metabolism, adaptation, and reproduction. Those are only 4 of many criteria.
- Adaptation refers to ability to change as surroundings change. I don't see how a fetus can manifest that trait since a fetus doesnt really go anywhere...
- Babies have the MEANS to reproduce, but can not PHYSICALLY. Babies have defined sexes and reproductive organs. A fetus does not until about the first trimester.
Whitey, even if abortion was illegeal, it would still happen. And it would be so much worse. People are going to have abortions no matter what, atleast abortion clinics give them a place to do it safely.
P.S. How can YOU justify killing innocent Iraqis, but be so staunchly opposed to the surgical removal of an unborn mass of tissues.
Ok, let me just try to put things in perspective. Lets say you're a young girl. You get raped by a fifty year old man, and you HAVE to give birth to it. You're still in school, and kids laugh at you cuz they think you're a slut, not knowing you were raped. You're teased, you can't fit in a school desk, you have less free time to do things, and you have to give birth to some creepo's baby.
I'm just providing another view, so don't attack me personally (you've done that a lot).
To Ben: Good to hear from you (truely) it's good to have some education critisism around here. About you're comment, the definition I used was the very first definition that popped up on the screen and I used it in it's entirty (sp. Sometimes they post different definitions at different times, and that may have been what you expirienced, but I used the very first definition that came up, and I used every piece of it, straight from the site.
As for the fact that abortions would still happen, I nkow they would, and its a really sad and dispicable fact that we'd have to deal with. And that is a moral decision, and if you can live with yourself, going to some back ally, and killing an innocent baby who has done nothing to no one, then so be it, just know that you have murdered an innocent. Also know that I will judge you in no way shape or form, because that is God's job, and God's job only. Personally, I don't believe in a ban on Abortion, I believe in a classification of Murder, which is exactly what it is.
P.S. Those "innocent" Iraqis you speak of, are not so innocent. most of the ones we have killed are either members of Al Queda, or of the Armed Rebellion, in which case its a "kill or be killed" type of mood.
To Anonymous: I have stated time and time again, that in the case of a rape, which is truely a tragic thing, it is not the baby's fault, nor is it the mothers, thus NIETHER should be punished. The one at fault is the rapist. I am not saying that it would be a good thing, nor am I saying that it would be easy, but I hope that the young woman can indeed see that it is not the babys fault. As for the teasing, High-Schoolers are not nearly as cruel as you believe them to be, and they're not nearly as unknowledgable. If a girl get's pregnant and its because she was raped (which, just to let you nkow, rarely happens) they know, and the most likely thing to happen is that they would comfort her in her time of need. Most of the other things I would state in this reply has already been stated, so I'll just leave this where it is.
Well, I think it would be a waste of time for me to try and change your mind. This is one of those issues that people can get very personal about either way, no arguing that. You make some good points though, didn't change my mind, but nonetheless, good job.
Humans are born, it's as simple as that.
I hope you're a vegetarian if you are so against the termination of a living organism.
Killing a cow to eat, and killing a baby because its an inconvenience are to completely different things.
"Against Abortion? Don't Have One."
Classic.
Here's one I like, Ben:
Hey, Liberal! If you can't trust me with a gun, how can I trust you with a "Choice?"
what if i kill a baby to eat it?
i think ending a life because you're too selfish to eat some tofu is alot worse then aborting a fetus that could lead to 2 difficult lives.
"Anonymous said...

Then you are a cannibal, and need to be beaten with a large sack of hammers
"i think ending a life because you're too selfish to eat some tofu is alot worse then aborting a fetus that could lead to 2 difficult lives."
I think ending a live because you are too selfish to deal with the consequenses of your decisions is a lot worse then trying to survive and not starve to death because some PETA extremist said that my Hamburger was killed inhumanly.
sarcasm sucker.
vegetarians don't starve, that is the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. funny how someone who puts such a high price on the life of an undeveloped organism is happy to murder for a snack.
there is nothing extreme what so ever in this view.
We are both teenagers who, from the outside, are seemingly obsessed with politics. However, I'm a hyperliberal. Your declaration of a small calf being more important than a baby is filled with your religiousness. you christians think that humans are more important than anything else in the world. And I think the person who spoke before about killing "innocent" Iraqis is correct, but you misread. He means the people that got their legs blown off, or children getting burnt to a crisp, or ";smart" bombs firing into a crowded supermarket, or a kid with no arms begging a cameraman for the US to help him find his limbs.

With 6 billion people you should be more worried about just about ANYTHING else to become extinct. Except ants. Damn ants! From a republicans standpoint ants should be mass slaugtherd because they're usefull and there are more of them than humans.
Oh, and you and your redneck friends shouldn't have guns because you're rednecks. Period. Neckreds shouldn't have guns about as much as a small child (with the same brain capacity) should have a gun.
