Abortion-Pro Life

Below are two links that need to be watched:

There are two things that I know are fact about abortion. 1. Its an abomination. 2. Its murder.

There are many opinions about abortion and many people think its "ok" in certain situations, others think we shouldn't involve ourselves in someone else's life. The thing is, we get upset when a young child is killed, if a child is thrown in the trash can after a women gives birth in a restroom or when a child/baby is shaken or beaten. We hate when children are hurt in anyway....but when it comes to abortion we make lots of reasons, that it should be allowed.

I believe people are uneducated about what abortion really is and entails. I think men and women alike think that the baby never feels anything and just goes to sleep like a dog would being put down at the pound. This is NOT true. Babies, no matter how small-FEEL! It's not unknown to hear cries during abortion from a baby or for it to not be dead fully exiting the womb. Watch those videos above and if you aren't against abortion now, you will be....and if your not then...God help you.

Why do women get abortions? Here are some stats:
Why women have abortions1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).

When do abortions occur during pregnancy? :
At what gestational ages are abortions performed:52% of all abortions occur before the 9th week of pregnancy, 25% happen between the 9th & 10th week, 12% happen between the 11th and 12th week, 6% happen between the 13th & 15th week, 4% happen between the 16th & 20th week, and 1% of all abortions (16,450/yr.) happen after the 20th week of pregnancy.

Who's having abortions (age)?52% of women obtaining abortions in the U.S. are younger than 25: Women aged 20-24 obtain 32% of all abortions; Teenagers obtain 20% and girls under 15 account for 1.2%.

Stats from: http://www.abortionno.org/Resources/fastfacts.html

So, the bottom line is pretty cut and dry. Most abortions are happening between ages 18-25 to unwed mothers. And 93% of them are because of INCONVENIENCE. Only 1% is because of rape-which is an excuse often used. And although most abortions happen early on in the pregnancy, 16,450 roughly are still being aborted halfway through the pregnancy 20+ weeks. In todays world a baby could live outside of the womb then. Most of the 93% of these abortions every year could be prevented every year by preventing pregnancy in the first place. Free birthcontrol at the clinics and doctors office where patients could have the privacy of everyone not knowing, would help a lot. Considering most abortions happen when the mother is unmarried and low income there has to be a way to educate women about birth control and sex in general. I know its an uncommon theory, even in my own life...but NOT having sex outside of marriage would almost solve the problem completely....

I believe that this is wrong, no matter your religion. My bible says "Thou shalt not murder" and I think common sense tells people not to murder as well.
