September 16, 2010: Dumpster babies, who doesn't love a dumpster baby?

I'm in a mood this week, bear with me. I've been reading TONS of political chatter lately and sorting through some issues that I've been falling behind on. (Life gets in the way of EVERYTHING, see?)

One fight I'm getting pretty tired of is the fight about legalizing abortion. Some say that it's a woman's right to make that decision and others still will say it's murder. (I'm a swing voter, remember?) Who are we to decide when life begins? Are you REALLY telling me that every female and male that have reached puberty and are capable of having children should if the event arises, America? I would hope not. More sixteen year olds having children is not my cup of tea. More people who are incapable of being financially secure that probably share the Greek sense of where the government can shove their income tax? I don't think so. I believe in taxes, and I believe in raising them. I believe that abortion should be OUR right, not as mothers or wifes, but as RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE who KNOW deep down inside that this world is NOT a place for a newborn. That in our own way, we are RESPECTING life by not subjecting it to this painful time of need and inability to support it. Abortion and adoption are two of the most emotionally painful aspects of child bearing. Who are we to judge them? Why are we judging them? Because we think that they should believe what we believe? We're all entitled to our right to liberty, liberty of our life and our thoughts. Or is it because the Bible or other holy books disdain abortion? I think you should keep your religion out of my uterus, if you want it in yours so be it. I understand where people say that life begins at conception, and I'll ask you this. What do you call a microscopic cell that takes nutrients from another organism? It's called a parasite, and until we stop deworming our cats and dogs, I'll give the right to abortion a thumbs up. And don't tell me it's different, that is life, too. Let's discuss this, comments will be open like always. I want to know what you think.
