Nevermind that no one treats an unborn baby as a human being. We don't give them names, we don't typically give them funerals or burials, we don't even call them human beings, we call them "potential human beings"... |
We do give them names. We do grieve their loss. You are not in charge of what constitutes a funeral for everyone in every situation. When there is enough of them left after death many people do bury them and if they do not you still have not right to judge them or say that they believed their baby was not a person because they do not spend the appropriate 8K to have what you have determined is a proper funeral.
And last but not least... what planet do you live on? I have never, ever, in my 25+ years as a nurse in women's healthcare heard someone call an unborn child a potential human being. "When is your baby due?" "Have you picked a name for the baby?" "The baby has a heart defect and may need major surgery after it is born." "Have you considered putting the baby up for adoption?" Healthcare professionals, social workers, and laymen alike call babies babies... NOT POTENTIAL HUMAN BEINGS.
You have been swallowed alive by the blackness that is your delusion.
I am not sure why we continue except that I have to ask you this question.
What if you are wrong?
Because here is what would happen if everyone agreed that I was right. Women and men alike would have a deeper respect for their own bodies and abstinence would be considered a reasonable option for young people instead of a freakish choice. Those not abstinent would be more responsible about contraception and sexual activity thereby avoiding much of the heartache that comes with casual sex including diseases, abandonment, abuse, and yes, unplanned pregnancy. As a result more pregnancies would be wanted and for those that were not there would be babies available for those who desire children but can not have their own and they would be available for adoption at younger ages.
If you are right we get what we have- OVER A MILLION ABORTIONS A YEAR in the US. Does that make you proud? Do you hope to win others over to the way you think? Is this what you want your daughters to believe is right and good... How does parental counsel look from someone who believes that it is just OK to have an abortion?
I've had a couple of grandchildren come into the world under less than ideal circumstances and still I can not see myself saying to my son... This is a rotten time to have knocked up your girlfriend... You have another year of college to go and we're not able to carry you past that and certainly not available to be taking care of your kid while you all finish so just head on down to Planned Parenthood and get that thing out of there already! I am not having your fiancee walk down the isle with a baby bump... and who is paying for a new dress??? Here is $300 go get her belly flattened out... it's cheaper than buying a new dress... There is a certain sickness to this way of thinking even if we completely put religion aside.
I will never forget hearing a patient describe a late term saline abortion. Evidently the baby moves around a lot and 'kicks like crazy' before it dies when you replace the amniotic fluid with saline. It was haunting and I was not even a Christian then.
I almost could cuss.
