I hate abortion: saying otherwise would imply it’s acceptable

I hate abortion. I hate the word. I hate the “procedure.” Obviously, I hate that it’s legal. It’s heartbreaking and distressing that both people and the courts deny the unborn their personhood. The pro-aborts have so much innocent blood on their hands that it must be oozing from their pores. Yet those who call themselves pro-life but think abortion should be legal in cases of rape or when there’s a fetal abnormality or threat to the mother’s health are just as culpable.

Let me be clear: there isn’t a single acceptable reason why abortion should be legal.

Saying abortion is desirable in certain circumstances is akin to saying child abuse is at times acceptable. It makes absolutely no sense. You can’t admit that a fetus is a human being–and therefore abortion is murder–and then say that the murder of that fetus is justifiable based on who her father is or because she might have a disability. To do so is discrimination.

Equally discriminating is to say that a child should die because her life is a threat to her mother’s health. Any woman who sacrificed her child to save herself, whether for her physical health or financial health, would be charged with homicide or sent to a psychiatric hospital. Yet it happens every day with the support of our president and millions of cheering fans. None of the fear of financial burden, worry about college, or the stress over being an unwed parent can change the fact that an unborn baby is a baby. Therefore, to end the life of that baby by any rationale is murder.

I hate abortion: for what it does to babies and for what it does to women. Abortion hurts whole families.

Then there are those who advocate for abortion as if it is a basic right, a gift, and a blessing. They devote their lives to the fight for legal all-access abortion while ignoring or denying the existence of human life within the womb. They use sly language in an attempt to emotionally detach women from their unborn children. They refer to the unborn as a clump of cells in order to desensitize the world to the cruelty of abortion, all the while knowing that abortion stops a beating heart by ripping arms and legs off precious, defenseless bodies.

Extreme pro-aborts actually believe that tearing apart a baby and suctioning her out of her mother’s womb is good, caring work. They see the unborn as nothing short of the unfortunate side-effect of a good time. Pro-aborts refer to fathers as simply “the man who impregnated” them during what is implied to be recreational, nameless sex. Their deceitful behavior is unmistakable, yet people believe them. Abortion is pure evil that pro-aborts try to disguise as apparent good.

What happens after the abortion is equally abhorrent. We’ve all heard the stories about the bodies of aborted babies found in trash receptacles or tiny body parts sold to research labs for companies including Pepsi and Kraft. However, those babies are also used as health care. One company injects fetal brain stem cells into the eyes of patients with macular degeneration. A shocking investigative look into the world of fetal body part trafficking exposed how some babies survive abortion attempts, but instead of receiving care and comfort, they are left to die or be harvested while still alive. Pakalert Press reports the following disturbing information admitted by former abortion clinic technician Dean Alberty:

Alberty told of seeing babies wounded but alive after abortion procedures, and in one case a set of twins ‘still moving on the table’ when clinicians from AGF (Anatomic Gift Foundation) began dissecting the children to harvest their organs. The children, he said, were ‘cuddling each other’ and ‘gasping for breath’ when medics moved in for the kill.

Every day the United States, a champion of civil rights worldwide, brutally slaughters 4,000 babies just like these sweet twins. With each moment we spend in silence, each blind eye we turn, and each vote we cast for a pro-choice politician, we might as well be holding the curette ourselves. Imagine the world without the destruction of the Nazi regime or legal slavery. If not for the courage and unwavering dedication of a few bold individuals, these atrocities would still exist, just as the massacre of the unborn will continue without the unified rising of anti-abortion voices.

I hate abortion, and I am proud to say it. Where do you stand?

    Ew. I have fetus blood oozing out of my pores? If it’s true, imma go get some napkins. If it’s not true, and it’s a metaphor, I hope it’s a metaphor you use over and over and over again and reaches as many suburban women as possible. Mind if I repost this?

      What is your comment about the twins being dissected?

    • Guest

      You have a point here.  I hate abortion too, but it’s wrong to hate abortion proponents. It’s they who need their hearts changed.  That metaphor blurs the distinction between hating a barbaric act and hating people.

         Thank you.

         Sorry, but Nazi guards who claim not to have known what was going on still were tried and sent to prison.  I think that there is no reason to claim lack of knowledge.  I don’t hate them, but they are responsible.  Just as a killer can have a change of heart, they can too.  But they will always be a killer too. An innocent person died by their lack.  And yes, it is a metaphor, just like you’re a California housewife who just got pulled into a dramatic life after the death of your ex.

        Abortion is evil. But hate should only ever be directed at sin, not sinners, at crimes, not criminals. People who receive or administer abortions are victims too, whether they realize it or not and should be treated with concern, not hatred.

    Excellent article, Nancy!  I totally agree with you.

    If abortion is murder, what should the punishment for self-induced abortion be? Miscarriage due to neglect?

    • Dolce

       What do you think of women who purposely do drugs / drink while pregnant and the babies survive?

    • MoonChild02

      Time in the hospital, just like any other self-sustained injury. The woman should get the help she needs, not be punished.

      “Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; But oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!” – Susan B. Anthony

      “When a man steals to satisfy hunger, we may safely conclude that there is something wrong in society – so when a woman destroys the life of her unborn child, it is an evidence that either by education or circumstances she has been greatly wronged.” – Mattie Brinkerhoff

      That makes no sense and is in no way funny. A fertilized egg cell (or as I prefer to call it, a “baby”) is a completely different thing from a sperm cell. Unlike the unique individual that is the fertilized egg cell, the sperm cell is “a potential life.” Of course this may sound confusing, because many pro-aborts like to claim that a fertilized egg cell is “a potential life,” when in fact this is only true of unfertilized eggs and sperm. In the eyes of many pro-”choicers,” sperm cells and fertilized egg cells are one in the same, while this is in no way true. Check out an anatomy book if you want proof.

  • Jdjdjeeeeerrrryyy

    Wait just one moment. So you are saying that in the case where a mother would certainly die before the baby can reach a viable age in the womb is not grounds for an abortion? You sound so cruel to the woman who have to choose between their life, staying alive for their born children, and abortion. I know that cases like this are very rare indeed, but they do exist. And you do nothing to help these women by spewing your venomous words at them.

        Thanks for the link, Cheri.  That is excellent information on ethics when the life of the mother is in danger. 

    • Nancy Flanders

      Doctors take an oath to do no harm. There are actions they can take to try to save both mother and child. And if the woman is further along in her pregnancy, a C-section would be the correct action to take, not abortion. If it comes down to my child’s life or mine, I would always choose to fight for my child’s life over my own – whether that child is born or unborn.

    • Tannis

      abortion is very rarely (if ever) necessary in those cases.  I’m not a doctor so I don’t know the specifics – perhaps you are a doctor and can give us specifics?

      I’m not sure about Ms. Flanders’ opinion, but in my understanding of both medicine and ethics, there is a big difference between offering a pregnant mother care that may or may not be harmful to her baby, vs aborting the baby in order to offer treatment. 

      I do think there are very rare cases where the pregnancy itself puts the mothers’ life at risk while at the same time carrying no chance of survival.  I have a cousin who had such a pregnancy in the 1980s and waited as long as possible to find other options, finally having an abortion with approval from the Church (Papal or other approval from the Vatican)  I am not sure of the medical details because I was a child at the time, so I don’t know if any advances in medicine since then may be able to save children in these cases today.

      In many cases, though, babies can be carried through medical treatment of the mother, or delivered early through c-section/inducement in order to begin medical treatment earlier, etc. 

      I agree that spewing venomous words at anyone is rarely the answer and it saddens me to see political/ethical discourse in our country in such a sad state.

       Please give me one, just one, instance where this has been given as an option…especially in the above article.  I call you a strawman and a red herring, or someone who doesn’t like what is being presented, so brings up an extreme situation where the only ‘logical’ and ‘humane’ choice is the only one you present.  Women who are in the dire situations that you have given and are trying
      to focus the attention on are usually as heartbroken as we are that her
      child cannot survive. Cases like what you are presenting, along with all rape abortion and incest abortions, are less than 1% of abortions.  Allowing the discussion to be only towards that less than 1% seems a little desperate on your part.  We are trying to talk about the 99%–those who weigh their child’s life with their conveniences and decide their child isn’t worth the time to let them have a life.

      • Jdjdjeeeeerrrryyy

        Did I not say that these cases were rare? Try reading my comment again. And I bring up the extreme because the author explicitly stated that abortion shouldn’t be allowed in any circumstances. And furthermore, this exact situation happened to my close friends mother about ten years ago. And yes, she was devastated. But from the way the author talks its as if she shows no compassion for the women in those situations. Rare situations indeed, but they do happen and many people conveniently choose to ignore or condemn these women.

    I HATE ABORTION. Abortion is the embodiment of evil. It hurts the baby, the mother, the father, what would have been her best friends, the rest of her family, the abortionist, and the abortion workers. Abortions hurts EVERYBODY.

  • http://www.facebook.com/tracylane Tracy Shaw Eliason

    Good article.  I hate abortion too, I think it’s horrific and barbaric.  The problem is, there are too many people who are desensitized to it, and that actually think they’re doing the baby a favor, given their mother/father’s circumstances.  If we were talking about a 6 yr old whose parents were incapable, irresponsible or simply psychotic, the gov’t would step in and remove the child from the home.  Why can’t they offer better assistance to the pregnant woman/girl during the pregnancy then if she still wishes it, help her offer the baby for adoption?  I suppose it’s just EASIER to abort… ugh.  (It’s more work to preserve the life of the unborn, but isn’t it worth it??)

  • StephanieRose

    I hate abortion. I broke down into tears, God I feel so horrible after reading this, those poor innocent twins that were described! How can anyone pretend that should be legal, or isnt murder? Lord Jesus, please comfort these children in your arms. So devestating.

    If someone is threatening your life, you have the moral and legal right to defend yourself from their actions, even if the threat is unintentional.  If a mother dies trying to carry a child to term, the baby will most likely die as well.  That is TWO dead people.  Not to mention subsequent children the mother could have had.  The true Pro-Life stance is to allow emergency extractions of the baby if the mother can not likely carry much longer without significantly risking her life, then try and care for the premature child as best we can.
    Other than that, I agree with you.  Abortion is terrible.

    I stared at that part about the twins. Where are these peoples’ hearts?! Where are their morals, how can they justify that? They should be arrested for murder one! They is MUDER!!! I have twin sisters who are older than me by 21 months. I can not even IMAGINE what this world would be with out them. That is just SICK SICK SICK! Oh how heart wrenching and nasty and oh my. : ` (

    I feel like I wrote this. Dead on. And to think I found it through a website that called it just as crazy as the ‘I love abortion’ article. I don’t understand how people can’t see it!!!! It’s sickening!!!

    I hate abortion too. they are people. what got to me was the story of the twins. If I was pregnant with twins I would keep them. life is a blessing and should always be cherished 

  • KatyLondon3479

    To say that abortion is unacceptable even in cases of rape is disgusting. To believe that a girl who has suffered sexual trauma should relive the experience for nearly a year of her life is immoral!  You seem to care so much about the unborn but not care about women. Every situation is different and therefore unless you analyse every single one of them, you have no right to judge.  Also if you believe a women has to die, to save her unborn..then you have her blood on your hands. Pro life? I think not. Anti- Women, Backwards thinking, insensitive and self righteous. Imagine if someone you loved got pregnant, however, tragically she found out it was ectopic…You would go ahead and let her die? Wow, now that is brutal. Get off your high horse and stop pointing the finger. I’d like to see you walk into a deprived area, and tell me there is enough support for young mothers, and children born into poverty and unhappy, broken homes.I am a social worker and know there is not enough care available. Very saddened to know that even at a time of freedom and opportunity, people can be so small minded. So thankful for Liberalism !
