| | This is what one supporter of abortion said in an anti-Obama group when the comments began to gravitate towards abortion (I corrected punctuation and added a few bracketed words for clarity, but other than that, the words remain the same; apologies for his vulgarity): "Alright, suppose after a night on the town, you bring a 'lucky girl' back to you're place after she's way too drunk to make any real decisions. You aren't taking advantage of her [though] because you're shitfaced too. She doesn't mention anything as far as protection before you have sloppy, drunk sex, and you don't take it upon yourself to wear one because you 'really don't like the feel. She calls you back later, saying she's pregnant. Will you say, 'Don't you dare abort it! You better have it tear open your vagina! Now that my cum, which I didn't put in a condom, [has] attached to your eggs, abandon you're career and your future dreams, bitch, cause it's living now, even though its a fuckin tadpole!' Beautiful, isn't it? This is what God wants? 'Oh well, at least its alive'. Yeah, great. Look at some of the people that make mistakes like that: mostly teenagers. I'm obviously not saying its exactly like this every time, but are teenagers going to be able to raise a child very well?" This seems to be the common attitude among Americans today, especially young people, and it makes me ashamed of my country. But let's answer his questions for him: Will I insist the girl allow the baby to live? The baby that is just as much mine as it is hers? Yes. After all, we both acted incredibly irresponsibly that night, and what kind of society are we that we believe we should not have to take responsibility for our actions, whether those actions were accidental or intentional? If you make a mistake, you need to deal with the consequences instead of taking the cowardly, easy way out. As far as teenagers go, if they feel they cannot take care of their baby, give it to another couple who actually deserve him/her, maybe to a couple who cannot conceive and who want nothing in the world but a baby. Isn't that the more loving act? To not only permit your child to live, but to also give an infertile couple a much-wanted gift? What kind of society are we that we value convenience or a good job over an invaluable life; that we fight so hard for mere convenience or a good job that we will do anything it takes, even snuff out the life of a baby, in order to achieve it? |
