My two cents

So, I never thought I would see states go up against the Supreme Court decision of Roe vs. Wade.  I never thought our country would reconsider and think that it’s alright to take away a freedom for women to choose what to do with their own bodies and an unwanted pregnancy.

But here we are.

Once again, some people in power want to look at women’s personal issues, medical issues, and do it without a heart and without understanding .   I believe that there is not ONE woman anywhere who ever wants to go through an abortion procedure, or ever consider that it is a form of birth control.    To think an abortion is done without consideration of what is ‘best’ for the mother and her situation, her wellness, her life… is just plain ridiculous.   It should not be decided by a group of congressmen…    yes, mostly men.

I believe the decision for an abortion should be made by the woman, after a discussion with her doctor, and God.   Government should stay out of it.

Doctors ands hospitals should not be put in the predicament of deciding when it’s okay and when it is not.  The medical world should be free to offer clean, safe, monitored abortion procedures without fear of government involvement and punishment.

I also believe that our country has not done enough to help unwanted children.   I think we need to have a stronger system in place to help single mothers.  We need to support them, and especially the children.

I am a Christian.  I believe human life is sacred.  But, I do not know for sure when life begins…  at time of conception?   When a heartbeat is identified?  When a fetus is viable enough to live outside the womb?  When does the government identify this?   What gives the government the right to identfy it??  Right now, it’s at birth when a birth certificate is given – and a social security number is given.  Will the system change and certificates be given when the egg & sperm join together? or when a heartbeat is heard?  You want government to step in and make that decision?  I don’t.

Unfortunately too many sexual counters happen outside of love, and some are even created in rape.   Each case is individual.  Each woman has circumstances that we should not judge.

So, again, I can’t believe this is going on.  I worry that it’s a big political ball to throw around. And,  I believe it’s very sad to think of it as a political game issue.   But it is.

I never thought I’d see this happen.
