Christians and abortion

I have never written any controversial topics in my Blog and I have always been not ready to do one. But I thought that if some one has the gift to write they have to write what they feel in their heart about any topic and sooo with long pauses I thought to write down on my blog about abortion.This has been an very important ethical and political issue in US.

Inspiration

I once heard some radio program on a Evangelical radio station about why Christians opposing abortion?, and they gave some points which does not fit even in Christian context but even people of other faiths or no faith can relate too. The 4 main points discussed are

1.Size

People who go with abortion say that the fetus is very small and so it is not a big issue to do abortion but the important point is all humans are equal whether they are small or big.The fetus deserves the same right as an grown human or we cannot say goliath deserves something more than David coz he is big in size or a 1 day old baby is same as a 80 year old person in respective to have the liberty to live. I think this fits the context here. If some one say NO to this they can be some one who says that all humans are not equal.

2.Level of Development

If some one is ready to kill a life on the level of development they need to look around the world and them too. Because they might be less developed in intelligence to another human or they might not be tall as another one and they must be having something which is less developed than some one in the globe, so I think any one will not dare to kill a fetus based on the level of development does not deserve to have a life for himself or herself. To project my opinion is an extreme perspective I m sure that children with Special needs are human like the normal children and they have the right to live too.

3.Environment

Some one cannot tell that as the fetus is still in the mothers womb it can be aborted coz its never been to the ‘Real’ world.I think that the person who lives on the Amazon jungle has the same right to life to a person in New York so does an unborn child has the right to live before it comes out in the world from the womb.

4.Degree of Dependency

if a life can be aborted based on the level of dependency coz most of the people live coz of eating medicine. So a fetus which depend on mother for it survival cannot be neglected as it is same to a living human who is 40years old and needs medicine so that he does not get himself killed coz of the heart disease.

This 4 points are called SLED.

But there are people who oppose abortion even in very difficult circumstance like incest,rape,when mothers life is in danger and I don’t agree with them because this is something out of hand and there should be some level of flexibility in dealing with situations. The best way to keep some one from the issue of abortion is safe sex or it could be abstinence or good advice from friends and family too.

Super Bowl 43 is Over

Ohhh Its time that the foot ball has got over for this season with the super bowl at Florida. Its time again the Big boy Steelers from Pittsburg have won their 6th super bowl with a score of 27-23 against the Cardinals and added some silver to their steel.

It was a very nice game to watch and a very nice performance by Bruce during Half time. But I would say that the important part of the game was when Steelers defensive linebacker James Harrison intercepted a pass from Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner and ran across the whole of 100 yards for a touchdown.I think that was a record too.It was a very best moment in the game and in a fraction of time the score board swinging to 17-7 would have been pathetic to watch if I had been an cardinal fan but for heavens sake I was a Steelers fan.Another important good outcome of the game was for the Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, 36, who became the youngest coach to win a Super Bowl and the second African American to be a Super Bowl winning coach after Tony Dungy.

I m sure that all the people single,doubles(I mean married,with gf,bf, or partner) would have enjoyed the game but the people who where drinking beer and of course people drinking all kinds of drinks would have enjoyed the game the most coz I think a friend of mine did enjoy it very well. He drowned 8 bottles of beer and still was a very loyal supporter of Steelers and cheering for them and to my surprise he was very much cheering good.

The best part is he was smoking and trying to stop smoking by attending some class which I think should be very much appreciated.

Anyway coming back to the game, the Biggies party must have been cut short  or some laid to rest in peace because of the economic crisis must be a heart breaking news for some elite few  but  the 70,000 people who had come to watch the game and the millions who watched the game through TV and followed the game through twitter or some source in Internet would had a great time at least few hours to forget the chaos around them and say `All things are Good`.

From politics Obamas announcement of troop cut from Iraq before the next super bowl has to be appreciated thus making sure that own boys in defense will have a good time in home after all the hard time in Iraq.

So lets wait for the 44th super bowl and I hope to see my Home team Chicago Bears to be there. :)
