Abortion

Some say that there are circumstances like rape that there is a need for an abortion. Some say if the mother's life is in danger. Some just say it's a woman's choice. Does the baby deserve a choice?

A family member sent me a link to Eduardo Verástegui's website. This is a very strong message against abortion and some of the pictures are graphic. He's a very popular hispanic movie star who made it a mission to speak for those who don't have a voice. After watching this video, I don't know how people could continue to hold a prochoice view.

Guysforlife.org is a great website with some interesting video interviews. They interview men who look back to their teen years having had a girlfriend who had an abortion and how the experience still haunts them years later. They also interview men whose girlfriend/wife had the baby while they were barely adults and how the child changed their lives. Very stirring footage that makes you stop and think.

Reproductive "Choice" Campaign (RCC)posts images of aborted babies on their trucks and then drive them around town. Some say this is going too far. WARNING: Graphic material. What is a life worth if someone sees this and doesn't go through an abortion? But children can see this truck as well and isn't that bad? I'm not even going to pretend I have an answer for this. It's interesting to read the responses on their feedback page. They are either very positive or super negative.

There's a movie based on a true story called "22 Weeks" WARNING: Graphic material about a young woman trapped in the bathroom of an abortion clinic who watched helplessly as her baby died after being born alive. This film was made by Angel Manuel Soto Vasquez.

We seem to think about the same things around the same time... for the last few months, maybe due to it being shown on popular tv shows, I keep remembering back to around 1977.
I had a large colour newsprint magazine that was included with the weekend newspaper I brought in for my Grade 3 class. EVERYONE was amazed and it was pinned up for the week on the wall.
Large 12" by 12"(approx size) pages,photographs showing the full development of a human baby,from embryo to birth.
The 9 year old girls especially were captivated by it, and they all kept begging to keep it (reluctantly I gave it away, was sick of being bothered by them for it).
I have NEVER seen those same photos anywhere ever again.
