I may not win but let me be courageous in the attempt…(Special Olympics motto paraphrased)

Sub title….Tough Love: How many abortions have you actually experienced?

Please note: My post does not necessarily reflect the opinions of this Site's owners/originators, nor is my post necessarily a political endorsement. And…I may delete this.. because I am a chicken….:o) but I am wanting to be courageous like the children.

Phrases that seem to fit.
“Render to Cesar what is Cesar’s. Render to God what is God’s”
"Which came first? The chicken? or the egg?”

"The Dead and all of the Wounded"
I have two dogs in this hunt, to use a very Texan Phrase…and their names are Marta and Luis.
Right now, Luis and Marta exist in heaven and in my heart and my imagination. I am almost 50 years old, and since I was 18, up until very recently, Luis and Marta only meant painful shame and guilt to me. (and also probably to the men who helped create them... i recently heard a man about my age admit how much regret and guilt he was carrying for encouraging abortions in his girlfriend(s).

Why is it even on the ballot - political platforms?
If abortion had not been legal, my family would have never even considered it as an option for me, and more importantly after the first horrible legal experience, I would never had considered the second even more horrible legal experience on my own.

Give Peace a Chance, Give Love a Voice
How can a culture that supports death ever return to a culture of abundant life?

Mother Theresa once said (paraphrased)…How can we free the world of violence and the destruction of war, when these adversaries are made legal by governments who allow invasion and destruction of the life inside of a Mother’s body?

How can we expect peace/ non-violence to exist anywhere at all, when the very seminal existence of life is, by governmental law, simply allowed to be destroyed?

Which came first? Destruction of the "Streets" or destruction of the Family.
A financially poor, hard working female friend, myHim once worked with, told him that poor people in her community do not want women, no matter what age, to have abortions…no…every pregnancy is wanted, because so many of their children, particularly the young men, are being killed off by drugs or each other. Babies are wanted in poor families.

Who really wants an abortion?
It seems...the very rich people don’t have abortions, they have all the babies they want, and just call them cousins if they don’t fit the public image.:o) (joke - a little levity)

It seems Abortion is just another “tax” on the struggling "lower middle class" and an upper middle class convenience.

At what point in any child’s life is ok to pull the plug on its development?
The Catholic church, for one, (I suppose many churches might feel the same)…. does not accept or support the death penalty in any shape or form.

Jesus said it best ofcourse...give money issues to the government, give Love issues to God.

Peace and Love
