Abortion... The mere mention of
this word brings emotions streaming from all spectrum of life. It ignites
passion. It ignites love. It ignites degrees of hatred, degrees of hostility. It
brings out the best and the worst of humanity. Constantly debated, with little
or no common ground to be found.
Pro-Lifers have argued "A
woman should never have an abortion. It is against the bible, against God”. “It
is the taking of life". Others have vehemently stated "It is not yet
a life". And still others don’t care either way. "It is not me".
This is not about religion, not
about your personal views or opinions, not about what is “moral”. This is not
about you.
No matter what side of the issue
you hold dear, it is important that the woman be given the opportunity to make
her choice. It is not for you and I to debate what is best for her... We don't
live her life, we don't understand her circumstances.
A woman does not make this decision as jest, as if for fun. It comes with so much confusion, so much doubts, regrets and
pain. It is never easy, never made frivolously.
Perhaps, one of the hardest, if
not the most heart wrenching decision a she has to make. A choice once made, affects her
life for an eternity.So let us treat her with respect for her
will, her strength, her stance and for her decision.
Please don't levy your
disappointments, your anger, your hatred, your opinions at her feet. Bring only
love, support and an open mind. Bring a shoulder and a caring hand,
outstretched with optimism. Bring your experiences... Bring your honesty.
Remember, the woman's body is her own.
Let it remain always, not just
pro-life but her choice,
