Odd headline I agree but the headline is composed of two stories in the news I found interesting. Some in the state of Tennessee want to erect a statue in honor of all the children who lost their lives via abortion. Sometimes life deals us cruel circumstances and we don't always get a do over. In fact more often than not we have to play the cards we were dealt.
Apparently a lot of women become pregnant who didn't want to be pregnant or who changed their minds after becoming pregnant. Raising a child is a serious responsibility as well as an expensive one. Few people today get pregnant by accident. If a woman feels so strongly that "It's my body"
that they use that as an excuse for an abortion and rationalizes that her quality of life would suffer because she gives birth then perhaps she should have given more careful consideration to having sex, I doubt that it's a secret as to where babies come from and as to how they are created. There are so many birth control methods available to women and men, I have a hard time understanding this unwanted pregnancy thing. I also have a hard time with believing it is a woman's right to kill her fetus but after the fetus is born she can be charged with murder if she kills it. What's the difference?
Whether inside of her or outside of her it's the same being with the same responsibilities and expenses. The father has no say so if the woman wants to kill her child while in the womb but can be held liable for care of the child after birth. That's not exactly fair either.
Oh, the other story? A couple just gave birth to their 14th child, all of which are boys. That brings up an interesting question. How come we say that "they are pregnant" but only she gets to determine
what happens to the baby before birth? Any way, at the end of the story the couple comments "It's about the baby."
Yea, that's it. It should be about the baby.
