It's a baby... by MacKenzie Bush

How is killing a baby ever okay? No matter how you look at it, would
you ever kill an innocent person? Especially someone who hasn't even
had the chance to live yet? A baby is never a "fetus", it is always a
baby and because they are a baby doesn't make them any less of a
person. They have feelings, a heart, fingers and toes just like
everyone else. A man once said "those who believe in abortion have
already had their chance to live" and I honestly cannot agree more.
What if it was your mother that was aborted? She would have never had
you and you would never have the chance to have your own kids and your
kids would have never had the chance to have their own kids, and on and
on. What if it was your brother? Or sister? Or loved one? It affects
so many people's lives besides the mother and the babies. Everyone was
put on this Earth for a reason.
Girls say "I'm just not ready for a baby right now". Then you
shouldn't have had sex. Period. If you have sex you should be
responsible for the consequences. I'm not saying in all cases but in
most cases abortion is the easy way out for many girls and their baby
should not have to pay for their mistake. The baby feels everything
that happens to them during the process of an abortion. They suffer
and hurt just as if what was being done to them was being done to us.
I can't say I understand what its like to be a mother but I have heard
mothers talk about their children. For nine months a baby, a person,
is growing inside of you and I can't imagine the bond a mother feels
for her child. I understand that you may think you are doing the right
thing because you won't be able to support them financially but killing
them is not the answer. Death is never the right decision for your
baby. There are other options, like adoption. There is a family out
there that would love to have your baby if you don't. Give your baby
the chance to meet them.
Imagine if a woman just had her baby, still in the delivery room, and
someone came in and shot that baby. That person would be in prison for
the rest of their life. What difference does it make if the baby is
inside the whom or not. It is still the same baby being killed, still
the same person being killed.
I know and realize that there are other situations, like rape for
example. Although a woman getting pregnant from rape is extremely rare
I do understand that it does happen and it is a very tough and touchy
subject. I cannot say I fully understand what being raped must feel
like for a woman because I have never had to go through that, but I can
imagine what that woman must be going through. It must be the scariest
and most terrifying experience to feel like there is absolutely nothing
you can do about what is being done to you and you must feel extremely
alone. That is exactly what you are putting your baby through if you
chose to abort your child. They must feel alone and like they have no
control of what is being done to them.
Worldwide there are approximately 42 million abortions a year and
approximately 115,000 a day. At fertilization, the babies' gender, eye
and hair color, facial features, and the babies intelligence and
personality is already formed. A partial-birth abortion is up to 24
weeks. At 24 weeks if the baby was born and had specialized care the
survival rate is more then 80%. The baby can blink and hear sounds and
grip things with their hands at this point. The baby inside of you is
a person.
This is for every baby that was never given the chance to fight for
their life.
