Abortion Justification

"I 'think' it is ok to have an abortion if a woman/girl gets raped."

People, typically women, with this mindset also state that it isn't right for them to have to carry 'something' they did not willingly conceive. Notice, the careful usage of the pronoun' something' in place of the word 'baby' in order to lessen the severity of the action. I have dealt with plenty of circumstances that I did not will upon myself, so stop trying to justify by making people feel sympathetic. I didn't murder anyone over them either.

Let's ponder a bit about what was just said. First, the word 'think' is both not the same as knowing and very subjective. Reacting upon something that is not well understood is typically a bad idea. Next, alternatives exist if the mother does not want to raise the child. For example, the mother could put the baby up for adoption, or let a family member take care of the child. One more point, is that the brain is the first to develop and the last to die, so why are we concerned about the heart regarding abortion? Can't people think for themselves or must they follow the heresies of the majority. Maybe they fear being different and somebody may not like them. Who cares! I do not know why people follow the majority and do not think for themselves, but it's time to start thinking for yourself and questioning what you believe in. That is what wise people do. It's time to pondering about those things you think are true. Lastly, this is the kicker, what did the baby do to deserve it? If it isn't a baby, then what is it? Ok, it's a "Zygote." Does a Zygote turn into a baby? If I call another form of killing "euthadolescentia" does it make it ok for me to kill a teenager? Well, they aren't an adult yet! A Zygote is just a very small child.

Think about it.
