I read a blog post today that really made me go back to my entrenchment into my pro-choice conviction. Don't get excited, it's not what you think. Read on.
It was about Rick Santorum and his family choosing to keep a baby that they knew had a condition that would be worse than Down Syndrome and cut the life of the child to very few years, if not months. The author of the blog accused the parents of egoism. Making themselves feel better because they had kept the baby. The author insisted that this was the type of baby that should have been aborted to save the baby from such a short and pain-filled life. I am still disturbed by the thoughts put forward by the blogger. I just feel that I have to stake out my position on this matter.
I have blogged before on this topic. I made some short comments about it here. My argument is simply that I tell everybody that I am anti-abortion and make no bones about it. I don't have to cave in to the political jargon. I am pro-choice because the freedom to make choices is what makes us human. Take away the reminder that I have a choice to make and you take away my humanity. Therefore, choose life over death, every time, and you will be making the right choice.
The blogger from this morning was saying that the Santorum baby should never have been left to come to term. He should have been spared the suffering of such a short life. I say STERCUS TAURORUM. Let me state two [yeah, only two for now] reasons.
1. Love. Children are procreated in love. They are a fruit of love. Even the fruit of rape is kept out of love. Not egoism, religious or otherwise.
2. Love. Children are born into love. No one is going to tell me that a mother who accompanies her child during a short, warm cuddly life close to her soft, velvety smooth breasts and her safe, warm, embracing arms is not normal, or an egoist. She is providing a warm welcome to life and celebrating saving her baby from the cruelty of having been sucked out of her womb by the abortionist's vacuum cleaner. Now, that is a true love choice. That is true anti-abortion, pure and simple. If the baby could, he would be celebrating too. Better to die in my mother's arms than to be sucked out of her womb. Life sure is great out here!
I thank all of you for reading what is a hard core stand. I am not a single issue moralist or activist. I am anti-abortion and I despise the clowns who call it "woman's health care services." It's too bad that I don't have too much longer to make life uncomfortable for the demoniacs who make this stuff up.
Stick around. I'll get over this attack of "curmudgeonry" and tomorrow I'll be back to my normal, mildly grouchy self. Now you know why there won't be anyone crying at my funeral.
