I'm back!!!

Howdy y'all after an extended leave of absence I have something that really tears at my moral fibers to write about.

Last week Harvard Girl and I were kickin back at work and she was reading an article on an "Abortion Boat" that sails around to third-world countries and gives abortions to pregnant women. She then proceeded to say "Oh, I want to be on that boat so bad!!" What the flip people???

I will be the last person who tries to tell someone what they should think- we are all entitled to our own opinions, but abortion is a topic that is uncomprimisable. The murder of 50 million Americans and countless others is a blight on the human race, and it is somethingg that I feel to strongly about to let it stand at "oh wouldn't it be great to go sailing on an abortion boat??"

I half excpected as much out of someone as socially liberal as Harvard Girl, but her reasons justifyingthe pro-choice position are almost as absurd as the the desire to go sailing around and helping doctors conduct abortions.

"what if I got pregnant..." what if you get pregnant? for most pregnancies there is a decision that precedes the "what am I going to do now that I am pregnant decision" decision. you know your own situation better than anybody else, so it is up to you to analyse whether or not you are ready to have a baby. The "Ok, I'm ready... lets do this" is pretty much a concession that you have thought about it... you just signed the dotted line. However there are a few exceptions to this rule, and I hate to say it as much as the next person... rape. Nothing good comes out of rape because it is the perverted action of sick individuals. Nevertheless, there are alternatives to abortion. "I don't want to carry around the baby of the freak who did this to me..." okay Magua- cut the Grey-Haired man's heart out, and kill his seed so he knows that he will be the ancestor to no one. What did the child do to be brutally ripped out of the the one place where it could thrive? What hand did the baby have? having an abortion to "solve" the problems of a rape only creates more problems, because this child isn't just the fruit of his loins. When you have abortion you dispose of a part of yourself too.

But what do I know? I'm just a man, I could never understand what it means to be pregnant. This is true, but that doesn't mean that abortions don't affect men at all. After all, what choice does a pregnant woman have when her boyfriend leaves her when he finds out that she is pregnant? Well I've got news ladies, chivalry isn't necessarily dead. Not all men are detached jerks who leave the women to care for their children. One of my best friends is one of these stand-up guys who works pretty much full time and takes care of his baby, and although I haven't come accross the oportunnity, I would like to think that I would be the same way as well.

Anyway, I've run out of steam, but there is so much more that i have to say on this subject, and so many ways to say it. Hopefully Harvard Girl will say something next week to provoke such an emotional response as to drive me to blogging. I would just like to end with saying that abortion will always be the wrong decision, and that there are better alternatives to abortion.
