As a Christian and mommy blogger I feel compelled to speak about this subject with my readers. I of course do not want to offend anyone with my views on the subject and am open to hear every ones opinion. I am a mother of five daughters and because I have been pregnant five times and delivered five living children I cant imagine what my life without them would be like. I look at each one of my girls and see how individual they are and can imagine what their roll may be in this world as they grow. In their eyes I see the life that God has given them and there are times that I feel that I can even see the souls. I use God because I do not believe we evolved from monkeys and or do I believe that the world exploded creating the earth. I believe that God is the creator of the world and life.
I am very emotional when it comes to speaking about life and God so I wanted to do a little research before I started rambling like a blubbering idiot. Hence the name of my blog "Mom Gone Witty." I have not been blessed with elegant public speaking and I am much better at expressing my thoughts and views in writing.
The first thing I looked up was the definition of Embryo: Meaning - a vertebrate at any
stage of
development prior to birth or hatching: from the
Merrian-Webster dictionary
This is the definition I found for Embryo when I typed in 2009 definition of embryo: at dictionary.com
1.an animal in the earliest stages of its development in the uterus or the egg, specif., in humans, from conception to about the eighth week
2.an early or undeveloped stage of something
3.anything in such a stage
The reason for the definitions is to show how time has changed the thinking of humans. The definition of Human comes from the Latin word Homo
sapiens meaning "wise man or knowing man." The question I have for human kind is " When did life become a right?"
When you look at the definition of Embryp as, "Anything in such a stage" what is that? What does anything mean and how did life become such a vague definition?
Women have been fighting for women's rights so that we can be equal to men and here we have more rights then men do. For instance, a man also played a roll in the conception of the unborn child but he does not have the right to decide if wants to be a father or not. Why? Because its the women's right to do with what she sees fit to her own body. But if the man decides he don't want the baby and he punches her in the stomach, he will be charged with manslaughter. How is that any different then having an abortion.
A women decides to have a baby and the baby is killed at the hands of someone else its murder, Why because she wants it? But if she don't want it and she goes to the doctor to have the doctor kill her baby its her right.
This is what I mean by, "How did the human race become so unwise.?" This is common sense but because over time we have changed morals to rights and individual thinking into a popular vote, we have stopped thinking for ourselves.
I know and you know that life begins at conception weather or not we define the unborn child as a embryo and or fetus. These two names do not change what life is and how it starts. Without the process of life from conception to embryo and then on to fetus, you and I would not be here.
Now with this proposed health bill making an abortion preventative care while taxing the American people makes no sense to anyone. This can not even make sense to the person who wrote it because the words "Preventative health care" means detecting conditions at an early stage and taking action to slow the progression.
How does an unborn child fit this criteria? Why don't they call it what it is and call it "Preventative life." There is no way to prevent life, its inevitable no matter what bill they propose and what we need to understand that the rights we have worked so hard will be gone with this bill.
If I as American do not support abortions I no longer have that choice. By making me pay for them they are taking away my rights and my freedom to decide what I stand behind. And with each abortion performed and supported by the money I pay, I will have that child's blood on my hands.
This is not a right and if I refuse to pay then what? If I refuse to pay because I morally do not believe in abortions then the government is forcing me to commit a sin. That is not freedom and even as a women I don't want any part of it.
Now, please remember when reading this that this is my opinion and I am not judging anyone who has had an abortion but instead using my right for freedom of speech while I still have it.
I cant express enough how this bill is not a right to any American but instead a step in the wrong direction. Instead of moving forward, helping out our neighbors and working as a team to make a better world we are moving into a direction where we as Americans are losing our rights.
If I cant chose weather or not I support life then what can I do.
I can not as a christian and a mother support this bill and nor will I be forced to pay for the death of a child. Regardless of women's rights, life is life and death is death. Murder is murder no matter which way you look at it and there are plenty of other options to prevent pregnancy.
I also watched Kennedy speak last night as the media tried to ask him what happened between him and the catholic church. His response was typical and I was more disgusted then anything, he as a politicion support this health bill but when asked what the catholic church thought about his decision, "He had no comment." This was a private matter between him and the church.
Seriously, This is a health plan for the American people but someone who supports it is ashamed to say what his church thinks about it.. There is something wrong with this bill if Kennedy supports it but is to ashamed to say publicly that his church also is against it.
I would love to hear what you think and
whether or not you think we should be forced to pay for this bill.
