Embryos are people too ...
~.: To anyone who reads this, I want you to know that this is in no way a personal attack on you, neither do I think any less of you, or want to judge you.
~.: With that said, I want to say that I don't understand people who get abortions. Okay, well, I get them. I understand that at a young age, you're not ready to have a baby. And I understand that sometimes pregnancy happens to people who were being cautious and who were protecting themselves.
~.: But how much are you really protecting yourself if you are still doing the only thing that makes the creation of a baby possible? How can you sit there and say you did everything and then be shocked when a baby is the result of your intimacy? If you are not ready for a baby, you should not be having sex. If you are smart enough to know that tab A goes into slot B, hopefully you are smart enough to know how babies are made. Not to sound like I'm attacking anyone, but if you think you are mature enough to be doing grown-up things, then make sure you are mature enough to handle grown-up responsibilities.
~.: As for the age thing- I can't say whether or not it's a good thing for a girl to have an abortion. The fact of the matter is that a baby- or a potential for a baby if you view things that way- was made, and then destroyed. How can that even be justified?
~.: I feel very off tonight. Not sure if it's just my hormones or if it's the stupid presentation I went to tonight coupled with certain topics that arose throughout the day, or a combination of all of these things, but I feel very off. I hate contraversy. I hate that these things arise, and I hate myself for not going with the flow and saying that it's okay for a woman to murder her baby because she's scared or unprepared. I hate that I don't think it's okay to destroy an embryo for the greater good (the presentation was on stem cells). I hate that it's so easy to judge people because of their past actions, and I hate even more that I love them still despite this.
~.: And by now I'm not making any sense. People make mistakes, they screw up, and the ones in my life that have- both old family and new friends- I love them still. And the insanity of this concept- that it feels so right to forgive- hurts. And I don't know why.
~.: I feel like invisible forces are attacking .... and I don't understand.
