There was a giant idiot rambling on about how she was adopted and about how abortion this and that and how it should be allowed and, she mentioned only one thing I want to touch on; so I deleted the rest of the post and the other idiots applauding her. She said that an abortion would be better than to give birth to a child that wasn’t fully developed or was going to die very shortly after birth (very shortly being about an hour, maybe two.). My parents, now divorced, have had four kids; however, looking at them, you might think they had three. You see, I was born prematurely, and in all honesty it’s a miracle I’m alive and healthy and not disabled today. Anyways, about a year after I was born, my mom was to give birth again, to another boy. He was born, but he wasn’t going to live more than a few hours. My mother could have aborted him, but she gave birth to him anyways, and named him Thomas Diego. She’s told me the story before; she said that she held him, loved him, and that she fell asleep holding him in his arms. When she woke up again, he had passed on. The doctors took him away, and my parents bought him a headstone and all of that and he’s now buried with other babies who died young. Now, my parents had two girls, who are now 15 and 10; I’m eighteen and have just graduated high school. But, my response to the person who’d replied to OP (the OP was on the opposite end of the abortion spectrum). Response person, you said that it would be better to get an abortion if a child weren’t going to live for very long, but I’ll say I politely disagree. You also say that if your mother had gotten an abortion, you wouldn’t have known, which is true, you wouldn’t have. And even though she gave you up for adoption, remember that she at least gave you life. My mother could have aborted my brother, because he wasn’t going to live long, but instead, she chose to give him life, and to fill his short life with the exact same love and warmth she gave to me when I was born. So before you go spouting on about how abortion is okay, about how it’s right in that type of circumstances, think about that for a while. I’m not going to say it’s right or wrong; it’s a very large grey area. But you know what you can do, response person? Don’t act like you’re so much more enlightened than anyone else just because you believe that abortion is right, and don’t go bashing anyone else’s beliefs. In case any of you were confused, I’m not trying to bash response person or her belief on abortion; I’m just letting her know that the world isn’t so cut-and-dry, isn’t so simple. (Yes I realized I used the word idiot in the first sentence; for that I apologize, I was a bit angry when I began this.)
Good day.
