ABORTION BY ANOTHER NAME

The recent abortion law signed by the Governor of Alabama brought out the anti- and pro-abortion crowd in full force.

This writer is a firm believer in cause and effect. Far too often, dealing appropriately with cause results in no effect to be dealt with. (Cause and effect is a principle taught in college level Business Policy and various other college disciplines.)

The pro-abortion crowd refuses to deal with the cause and effect of abortion. The mantra railed by women that it is their body and they have all rights over it are beyond absurd. The cause and effect principle when applied to abortion would involve a women looking at the reason they need an abortion – having unprotected sex whether with a husband or someone met in a bar. 

A woman’s choice of not having unprotected sex would be a far greater exercise over their body than having unprotected sex, creating a baby, then having an abortion which is murder by another name!! This would be dealing with a cause and eliminating an effect – in this case the effect being killing an unborn baby. That’s the real choice a woman should be making about her body!!!

Now for a 2017 column from this writer’s archives.

WHEN IS MURDER REALLY MURDER?
It’s soap box time.

The recent women’s march following the Presidential Inauguration was a demonstration of just how mindless ordinary citizens can be provoked into being, and willingly controlled.

The show of crude signs and screaming of fowl-mouthed statements anytime a camera was in sight is not a show of rights over a woman’s body. The same rationale used by the “It’s my body” crowd could be used by convicted murderers to justify their murderous acts.  

What every person – female, male or transgender – should be forced to answer is this question:  WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MURDER COMMITTED BY AN ABORTION AND THAT COMMITTED BY A PERSON WHO IS TRIED, CONVICTED AND SENTENCED TO DEATH (OR LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE)?

The cry of “It’s my body” is an empty, lame excuse for a woman having sex but refusing to use a method of preventing pregnancy, knowing the result of the sex act (intercourse) can be a human life – a baby. Oh, then there’s the secret wish to “gain a meal ticket.”

That there was such a number of women as participated in the women’s march is a sad statement on the back bone of women (or lack of it), and their willingness to be used by organizers. An “aging feminist leader” read a statement that obviously she did not write, stumbling at times as though she had never laid eyes on the words before that minute, a statement that was on the back of wrinkled paper, the original use clearly visible to the audience.

The cost for cities throughout the world to police such demonstrations could provide food, medicine and safe water for millions of people throughout the world.

Politics being what it is has forced this issue into a religious one when it should be the issue of every decent human being in the world.
