On abortion · 9:56pm Feb 24th, 2018
I saw this earlier, and it's shocking. It's particularly nasty after 1:40 and onward, but abortion is wrong under any circumstances.
Some people might speak out against the pro-life party. The fact is that abortions cost the lives of unborn children. Now, I'm probably not the best person (being a guy myself) to be saying this; women are going to say that I have, and will never know, the pains of childbirth, and you're right. I do know this, though; If I had been aborted, I would not be here.. If you had been aborted, you would not be here either. I believe that abortion is child murder and should be made illegal. There is no legitimate reason to stop a child from being born. No reason given can excuse the loss of another human being in this world.
Thank you for at least reading this, even if you disagree. May God go with you all.
Many pro-choice activists and abortionists admit that abortion kills life, but state that they simply don't care and support it anyway. Abortion supporter Judith Arcana said this...
"I performed abortions, I have had an abortion and I am in favor of women having abortions when we choose to do so. But we should never disregard the fact that being pregnant means there is a baby growing inside of a woman, a baby whose life is ended. We ought not to pretend this is not happening".
Another pro-choice advocate, Kathleen McDonnell, said: "Abortion is in some sense an act of violence, and indisputably results in the termination of a life."
Stumbled across this, and do you genuinely mean what you say here?
And as some examples, would you seriously expect a woman who was raped, living in extreme poverty, or cases of incest, and the possible death of the mother to not have one?

I do mean it. I believe that abortion - the act of destroying an unborn human child - is wrong. Regardless of the circumstances.
I am not saying this out of a desire to hurt mothers/would be mothers. I believe that most of the time, people who go through an abortion are just using this kind of argument as a smokescreen; their real reason is that they don't want a child, either because they don't want to go through the hassle of raising one or for something like fearing their relationship with a spouse/sex partner/someone else if they gave birth to one.
Even in a situation as you described, I believe that all human life is worthwhile. Rape, poverty, and incest do not in anyway cancel out the rights of human beings, including the unborn, who had no decision in the events that brought them into existence, therefore it's inherently unjust to discount them. The only one of the cases you mentioned that really rattles me is the chance of death for the mother. Death is a terrible price to pay, and it should be taken seriously. However, in an age where medicine and technology have severely reduced the chance of death, it is far less likely.
It might seem... hard (in the sense of something that sounds disturbing) of me to say it, and people who read this may not (or will not) like it, but I believe that the rights and birth of a child overrides the worries of the mother in all circumstances.
