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.
