I once took a friend of mine to an abortion clinic. I donât know how many of you have seen these places, but the one I was at was boarded up and had protestors outside, giving out brochures and chanting âyou have other choices, donât kill an innocent childâ. Surely, no one wants to hear that going into a clinic set to have an abortion. Anyway, when my friend was called into the back, I couldnât stand sitting in the depressing, dark, and dirty feeling room, surrounded by girls who were 12 to women in their 40s, nervous, anxious and confused. I went outside. Naturally, the protesters began hassling me with their ritual defenses and overbearing speeches. Itâs hard for me not to get aggressive or rude when people force their beliefs onto others, but tried to refrain. I began talking to them, which quickly elevated to an argument and eventually ended in fumes. However, these women were advertising having the baby and putting it up for adoption, which at first sounds like an ok alternative, but who is going to adopt the baby? My main argument to them was that if they are so concerned about âthe childâ why havenât they adopted the many kids who are put up for adoption? Why spend 8 hours a day protesting outside when you could be adopting, placing or helping children.
Secondly, Iâve noticed that a lot of pro-life men and women talk a big game, but when their 14 year old daughter comes home pregnant with twins, I donât think they will be preaching the same morals. Who wants their teenage daughter not going to college so she can become a mommy 2 years after she began storing her Barbie dolls in the attic?
Anyway, I personally donât care how anyone feels about the matter. I donât think it should matter. I think the option should be there and people can decide individually. If you donât like the idea, donât have an abortion, donât let your daughter have an abortion and live happily with your decisions. If you are pro choice, make your choice and be satisfied with it. I donât feel that either party should force their views on anyone else and both should be confident in their own lifestyle not to have to. I think its terrible how run down, dirty, and gloomy abortion clinics are and how little has been done to fix it. Why waste your time convincing others of what you think is correct? If you really care about the children, go right ahead and adopt and help them. But why take rights away from people and force your own views onto anyone else?
No sense in calling people bigots, etc. Just stick to your own beliefs and live them out, because Iâm pretty certain that the majority of you pro-life folks would be taking your young daughters and/or your one night stands to these filthy clinics when she tells you sheâs pregnant.
