Well I know that I am going to piss people off with this
post, but I believe in standing up for what is right. I also believe in correcting lies when they are tossed out there...
I have seen several posts on social media
and other outlets criticizing the recent actions of the US House of
Representatives who voted to end all Federal funding of abortion, and those
State's who have started actions to end abortion after the 20th week. The pro-abortion camp is stating that those
of us support ending the practice of abortions is infringing on a woman’s
reproductive health care. All I can do
is laugh at this argument.
When you terminate a life of a human being, how is that a
“health care” or impacting a woman’s health in a positive manner. The definition of health care is “the
maintenance and improvement of physical and mental health, especially through
the provision of medical services.” Besides
the obvious negative health impact on the child, there is study after study
that shows the negative health impact (mental and physical) for women who
use abortion as a form of birth control (http://afterabortion.org/2012/abortion-risks-abortion-complications-abortion-dangers-abortion-side-effects/, http://www.familyandlife.org/resources/faq/effects-abortion, http://www.lifenews.com/2011/10/11/study-confirms-abortion-negatively-impacts-womens-health/). Yet we allow the lie of this being a woman’s
health issue to be promulgated. Only a fringe few in the pro-life crowd would state that a woman’s should not have the
right to terminate her pregnancy in the event of a health issue arises. While a large portion of the pro-life crowd
would also encourage a rape/incest victim to continue their pregnancy (and put
the child up for adoption after the birth), but would not stand in her way if
she chose to terminate the pregnancy.
If you hear the pro-abortion crowd they would have you believe that
pro-lifers would outlaw all abortions.
This is a fallacy. The fact the
prolife crowd would be extremely happy if we would just end elective abortion
that is used as a method of birth control.
Another fallacy that the pro-abortion crowd would have you
believe is that pro-lifers would have a woman’s choices of artificial birth
control eliminated. Nothing could be
further from the truth. The majority of
birth control; while not acceptable for personally use by some due to their own
personal religious belief, is perfectly acceptable to be used and
distributed. Most of us believe it
should be paid for by insurance (including the Affordable Care Act). The sole exception to this is abortifacients. This being said, the pro-abortion crowd would
have you believe the otherwise. Most of
us freedom loving pro-lifers believe a person has the right to choose their
means of preventing pregnancy. We think
you have the right to choose.
Most pro-lifers would only end the elective abortion used as
a form of birth control. Most of us
would allow a woman have the choice to terminate the life of the child in the
event of her health and in the event of rape/incest. We also will not stand in your way of using
artificial means of control when and if you have children. Do not believe the lie of Planned Parenthood
and other liberals. We don’t want to end
a woman’s right to choose, but we do want to protect a child’s right to live!
