| Abortion laws must change to protect human life. |
We seem to have become a nation in which we no longer desire to pattern our lives and behaviors around our existing laws, but always want to change the laws to justify a pattern of how we want to live and behave.
We invent terms in an effort to make our cause seem believable or just. A good example of this inventive spirit are the terms "pro-life" and "pro-choice", both of which are highly detested by this writer. These four simple words have actually divided a nation and there seems to be no end to that division. So, just who are these people?
The "Pro-Choice" Abortion Philosophy
This group feels very strongly that a "woman" should have the "right", under the law, to kill the baby inside her if she believes the baby is causing damage to her health, interfering with her career, is the wrong sex, is causing a strain on her relationship, is an unwanted child, or any other reason of convenience. This group also feels that the woman has the "right" to keep her baby if that is her "choice". So, basically, this group will vote either way.
The "Pro-Life" Abortion Philosophy
This group feels very strongly that since "life" is the basic right given to all of us by our Constitution and since a baby, even while inside the womb, is a human being at the very beginning of "life", killing that baby is wrong and should not be legal under our laws. Many people in this group also feel that a woman's medical care, while pregnant, should totally be controlled by her doctor and not by attorneys and the courts, since many times medical complications will arise requiring tough decisions by the mother, the father, and the doctor.
