"Take My Hand, Not
My Life"
"No law can give me the right to do
what is wrong."
--Pres. Abraham Lincoln
Picture a
family of five. The first child is blind, the second is dead, the third is
deaf, and the fourth has tuberculosis. The mother also has tuberculosis. Given
the poor health of the family, and the chances this child will not live very
long, would you call for an abortion? If yes, you just killed Beethoven.
Picture an
impoverished family. There are already 14 children and the mother is expecting
a 15th. Given their circumstances, would you call for an abortion? If yes, you
just killed John Wesley, one of the greatest evangelists of the 19th century.
Picture a 13
year old girl, pregnant after being raped by a man. Given her age and the
nature of conception, would you call for an abortion? If yes, you just killed
Ethel Waters, a famous singer.
Picture a
baby born with cerebral palsy. Given the fact that he had palsy before birth
would you consider and abortion? If “yes”, you have just killed Chris Nolan,
who writes using a muscle in his neck
attached to his forehead has never spoken or signed a word in his life, yet his
poetry has been compared to that of Joyce, Keats, and Yeats. At fifteen, his
first book Dam-Burst of Dreams is accepted for publication.
Picture this, three babies born with High
Functioning Autism and Aspergers Syndrome, would you consider having an
abortion if you knew this at 16 weeks of pregnancy? If yes, you have just killed these three
people:
Bobby
Fischer, 1943-2008, World Chess Champion
Marilyn
Monroe, 1926-1962, US actress
Henry Ford,
1863-1947, US industrialist
Finally,
picture a teenage girl who is unmarried and pregnant. Her fiancé is not the
father and he is angry. Given the problems this child may cause her
relationship, would you call for an abortion? If yes, you have just declared
the murder of Jesus Christ.
“Pro-choice
people and abortionists are heroic for protecting a woman’s right to control
and make choices regarding her own body.” First of all, a woman is controlling
her body by not getting pregnant in the first place.
Once the sperm and egg
meet, DNA different from her own is formed, she is no longer dealing with
her own body, rather that of her child, which is of a different DNA and thus not her body anymore.
Abortion is control and murder of a
life in the womb. Secondly, I cannot begin to fathom how they justify the
glorification of a child’s death as “a choice” and “heroic”.
"Fewer women would have abortions if wombs had
windows."
--Dr. Bernard Nathanson, former abortionist turned
Pro-Life, in his 1979 book Aborting America
